Evidence-led business valuations for businesses across Victoria.

A business valuation in Victoria is an independent report estimating what a Victorian business is worth for a stated purpose, such as a CGT event, restructure or related-party transfer.

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.

Victorian engagements are considered against the Duties Act 2000 (Vic) and State Revenue Office Victoria's administrative practice. Transfers of business assets other than real property — including goodwill — are generally not dutiable in Victoria, but this is a legal characterisation question for the client's lawyer, not something our valuation report determines. Where a transaction involves acquiring shares or units in an entity holding Victorian land, landholder duty can apply once the entity's unencumbered Victorian landholdings reach the statutory threshold, with a phasing formula operating just above it — the trigger and calculation are matters for the client's lawyer, but the acquisition often still needs a supportable value for the underlying business or entity interest, which is where our report fits. Property-holding structures should also be assessed against Victoria's commercial and industrial property tax reform, which replaces duty with an annual tax after a transition period following a qualifying entry transaction; where this reform is in scope, we work from the client's or their lawyer's confirmation of the property's transition status rather than forming our own view on it. Every Oliver Group report is Valuation Services, assesses market value consistently with and is documented against the ATO's market valuation guidance, regardless of which Victorian tier applies. Outside Melbourne, we cover Geelong, Ballarat, Bendigo, the Latrobe Valley and Mildura as a matter of course — engagements are remote-first by design, so distance from the CBD has no bearing on turnaround or process.
