Business Valuations
A defensible view of what your business is worth.
From straightforward market appraisals through to comprehensive AES2 Standard Valuations, Rockfield delivers valuation work that holds up — to buyers, banks, boards and the courts.
Our approach
Evidence-led. Owner-friendly.
A valuation is only as good as the evidence behind it. Our work is grounded in real transaction data, normalised earnings, sector multiples and the specific characteristics that make your business saleable.
We are practising business brokers, not desk-bound analysts. Every valuation we produce is informed by what buyers in your sector are actually paying right now, and what they are quietly discounting.
The result is a report that reads clearly, defends itself under scrutiny, and gives you a credible position to act from — whether you intend to sell, restructure, or simply know where you stand.
What we deliver
Three levels of valuation.
Market Appraisal
No charge
An indicative view of value based on current market conditions, comparable transactions and the financial profile of the business. Ideal when you need a clear-eyed starting point. This is at no charge as part of our relationship building.
Comprehensive Valuation
$2,000 – $10,000+depending on complexity
A detailed, fully supported valuation report suitable for internal planning, shareholder discussions, succession and pre-sale positioning.
AES2 Standard Valuation
$5,000 – $30,000+depending on complexity
Formal valuations prepared to Advisory Engagement Standard No. 2 (AES2), set by Chartered Accountants Australia and New Zealand — accepted by banks, the courts, the IRD, accountants and lawyers when independence and rigour are required.
Indicative fees only. Every engagement is quoted fixed, up front, after a brief scoping conversation.
When you need one
Common reasons owners commission a valuation.
Bank funding
Lending decisions and security reviews require a defensible, independent value.
Shareholder transactions
Buy-outs, buy-ins and equity restructures need a number both sides can stand on.
Disputes & exits
Relationship property, partnership separations and exiting shareholder claims call for rigorous, court-ready work.
Estate & succession
Wills, trusts and intergenerational transfers benefit from a current, evidenced position.
Pre-sale positioning
Understand the realistic range before going to market — and what would move the needle.
Accountant & advisor referrals
We work alongside your existing professional team, confidentially and on time.
