Evidence-led business valuations for South Australian businesses.

Business valuation South Australia refers to an independent, evidence-led valuation of a South Australian business, prepared for CGT events, restructures, related-party transfers, share buybacks or small business CGT concession matters.

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.

South Australia's duty settings are set out in the Stamp Duties Act 1923 (SA) and administered by RevenueSA. Does SA charge duty on the sale of a business? Duty on transfers of non-real business assets, goodwill, plant and equipment, intellectual property and similar, was abolished from 18 June 2015, and duty on transfers of non-residential, non-primary-production real property was phased out over three years before being abolished from 1 July 2018, which removed duty from most straightforward business sale and restructure transactions involving SA entities. Does landholder duty still apply in SA? Yes: from 1 July 2018 the landholder provisions apply where a person acquires or increases a 'prescribed interest' (50% or more in a private company or private unit trust, 90% or more in a listed entity or public unit trust) in an entity that holds residential or primary production land, with no minimum land value threshold. Valuations involving primary production land, common in SA's wine, viticulture and broadacre agribusiness sector, should factor this in early, and we coordinate with the client's lawyer or tax adviser on the duty position rather than advising on it ourselves. What valuation standard does a South Australian business valuation follow? How much does a business valuation cost in South Australia, and how long does it take? Where in South Australia does Oliver Group cover? We act for businesses across Mount Gambier and the Limestone Coast, Whyalla and the Eyre Peninsula, Port Lincoln, the Riverland and the Barossa Valley, alongside metropolitan Adelaide, with engagements managed remotely: there is no need for a site visit for the valuation itself. SA's economy skews toward wine and viticulture, broader agribusiness, and a substantial defence and naval shipbuilding supply chain concentrated around Adelaide's northern suburbs: each with its own valuation considerations around land-linked value, seasonal and price-cycle earnings, and long-dated government or prime-contractor work in progress.
