2026 NZ Calibrated
Our 4-Module Logic Engine allows us to move from data extraction to final report in one business week.
Pure-Play Independence
We don't sell businesses or offer tax advice. Our reports are unbiased and defensible in any boardroom.
Fixed-Fee Clarity
No "success fees" or percentages. You pay a simple, transparent fee for a professional report. This ensures our valuation is driven by market data, not the desire to close a deal.
We don’t list businesses, and we don’t chase commissions. Our only goal is to provide an accurate, independent figure that stands up to scrutiny.
Our reports are calibrated for the 2026 New Zealand SME landscape. We use real-world benchmarks for owner salaries and risk, ensuring your valuation is grounded in the current Kiwi economy.


What Is The Process?
We’ve engineered a streamlined, 7-day workflow designed to provide SME owners with professional clarity without the traditional corporate delay.
Step 1. Engagement & Data Securement
Once you accept and pay our fixed-fee quote of $1,950 + GST, you’ll receive a secure link to upload your financial data (typically 3 years of P&L and Balance Sheets).
We prioritize data security and absolute confidentiality from the moment you connect.
To maintain absolute independence as a Valuation Specialist, our fixed fee of $1,950 + GST is payable upon engagement.
This ensures our findings remain objective, clinical, and compliant with IVS 2025 standards, providing you with a truly defensible document for your ongoing strategy.








Step 2. The 4-Module Analysis
We use our proprietary logic engine to move through four rigorous stages:
Financial Normalisation: We adjust for owner salaries ($145k NZD benchmark ) and discretionary "add-backs" to find your true Seller’s Discretionary Earnings (SDE).
Risk Scorecarding: We assess your business across 4 key pillars—including owner dependency and revenue security—to determine a market-accurate multiplier.
Valuation Calculation: We apply the multiplier and perform a cash-flow "sanity check" against the current NZ Reserve Bank OCR.
Asset Reconciliation: We distinguish tangible assets from intangible goodwill to ensure a balanced final figure.
Step 3. Draft Review & Discovery Session
Before the final report is issued, we will hold a 15-minute discovery call or we can arrange a meeting to discuss our findings and ensure all "hidden value" in your operations has been captured accurately.
Step 4. Final Report Delivery
Within 7 business days of receiving your data, you will receive your IVS (International Valuation Standards) 2025-compliant, 10-page Independent Valuation Report.
This document is a "Boardroom Ready" tool for negotiations, succession planning, or internal strategy.
