A standard signed report starts from $1,495 + GST ($1,644.50 including GST) for suitable, straightforward matters. Scope, information requirements and the fixed fee are confirmed in writing before commencement. Complex, multi-entity, historical-date and court-related matters are quoted separately after scoping.
How long will my valuation take?
For straightforward matters, the typical draft timeframe is 5 to 7 business days from receipt of all requested information. Any deadline should be raised before engagement so we can confirm it is achievable. Finalisation follows your factual review of the draft and resolution of any questions.
What financial information do you need?
Usually recent financial statements, current management accounts, balance sheet details, ownership information and background about the business. The exact checklist depends on the purpose and structure and is sent with the engagement proposal. See our information checklist.
