How Fair Value Works

Get a professional NZ business valuation in three simple steps. No $8,000+ consultant fees, no 2–4 week wait, no hidden costs.

The Problem We Solve

Traditional business valuations in New Zealand are broken. Here's why.

Too Expensive

Traditional NZ business valuations cost $8,000–$15,000 and require hiring specialised valuation firms. That's out of reach for most Kiwi first-time buyers.

Conflicted Advice

NZ business brokers earn commission on sales, creating conflicts of interest. You need an objective, independent assessment you can trust for negotiations.

Opaque Process

Traditional valuations are black boxes. You get a number but no understanding of how it was calculated or what drives value.

Our Solution: Three Simple Steps

Answer Key Questions

Provide basic information about the business: industry, location, years in operation, number of employees, and annual revenue. This helps us apply the right valuation methodology and industry-specific multiples for the New Zealand market.

Why this matters:

  • Different industries have different typical multiples
  • Location affects market conditions and buyer demand
  • Business age and size impact risk and valuation approach

Our Valuation Methodology

Professional-grade methodologies adapted for the New Zealand small business market.

Market Approach
Based on comparable sales

We apply industry-specific EBITDA and SDE multiples based on recent New Zealand business transactions. This tells you what similar businesses have sold for in the current market.

Best for: Established businesses with stable earnings

Income Approach
Based on earning potential

We calculate the present value of future cash flows using the Capitalisation of Earnings method. This reflects the business's ability to generate returns for the new owner.

Best for: Cash-flow positive businesses with predictable earnings

Blended Approach = More Accurate

We combine both methodologies to give you a comprehensive valuation range. If both methods agree, confidence is high. If they diverge, we explain why and help you understand the factors driving value.
