Evidence-led business valuations across regional New South Wales.

A business valuation in NSW is an independent, evidence-led report estimating what a privately held company, trust or partnership is worth, prepared for CGT events, restructures, related-party transfers or sale. Oliver Group prepares these reports for NSW businesses, accountants and lawyers statewide — Sydney, Newcastle, Wollongong, the Central Coast, Albury-Wodonga, Wagga Wagga and Coffs Harbour —, from $1,495 + GST.

We value businesses, not real property. If you need land, premises or a dwelling valued, you need a certified practising valuer, which is not what we do. Where an engagement involves both, we value the business and separate the land component for a suitably qualified valuer.

State-specific considerations.

How much does a business valuation cost in NSW? Oliver Group's fixed fees start at $1,495 + GST for an Essential single-methodology report (10–14 business days), rising to $3,995 + GST for a Comprehensive dual-methodology report (15–25 business days) and $8,995 + GST for a Defensible Valuation File with a full evidence pack (25–35 business days); a Valuation Range & Scenario Review for complex or contested matters starts at $12,995 + GST (30–45 business days). Fees are fixed at engagement and the same regardless of whether the business sits in Sydney or regional NSW. Does a business sale attract stamp duty in NSW? NSW-based engagements sit within the Duties Act 1997 (NSW) framework administered by Revenue NSW. Transfer duty on the sale of business assets — goodwill, intellectual property and statutory licences — was abolished from 1 July 2016, so a standalone sale of business assets without land is generally not dutiable. Landholder duty remains a separate and relevant consideration: an entity is a landholder if it holds NSW land with an unencumbered value of $2 million or more, and duty can apply where a person acquires a significant interest — broadly 50% or more in a private company, or 20% or more in a private unit trust — in that entity. Where a related-party share or unit transfer involves a landholder entity, Oliver Group prepares the valuation of the business or the entity's interests and flags the landholder duty question to the client's lawyer or tax adviser for their assessment; Oliver Group does not provide stamp duty, tax or legal advice — we are not a registered tax agent, and the duty, tax or legal position on a specific transaction is a matter for the client's lawyer or accountant. When do you need a business valuation for CGT purposes in NSW? A valuation is typically required wherever a CGT event lacks an arm's-length price, and is a stated eligibility requirement for the Div 152 small business CGT concessions, which is why Oliver Group prepares reports with ATO market valuation guidance and in mind. Does regional NSW get the same standard of valuation as Sydney? Regional NSW engagements commonly involve trades and construction, agribusiness, tourism-adjacent hospitality, healthcare and professional services businesses across the Illawarra, Central Coast, Riverina and North Coast.
