A fast, conservative value range built from real Australian sale data. Answer a few questions and get an indicative range in under two minutes. No email required to see your result — and if you want to talk to a broker afterwards, a BBNA specialist responds within 4 business hours.
This tool provides an indicative range only — it is not a formal appraisal, financial advice, or a guarantee of sale price. See the full disclaimer before acting on the result.
Pick the closest match. We use the sector to select the base multiple that Australian buyers typically apply.
Adjusted profit is the important number. That means net profit plus your owner salary, super, and any personal expenses run through the business (car, phone, etc.). Australians call this PEBITDA or SDE. Best estimate is fine — your broker will refine it.
Start with your tax return net profit, then add back:
Because you're valued on fees / commissions / management income (not profit), we ask a small number of questions instead of the full risk analysis. You'll be able to set a retention discount on the next screen to account for clients that may not transition with the sale.
Eighteen questions across five categories, drawn from the CIM-PRO risk framework — they determine where inside your industry's range your business sits. Answer honestly for a useful result.
Not every client transitions with the sale. A typical discount is 10%, but well-documented handovers with strong systems can trade closer to 5%, and books with high key-person risk go higher.
Choose the description that best matches your book. This positions you inside the sector's range.
We'll email you this indicative range with the full breakdown — useful for talking to your accountant, partner, or the ATO. No spam, no list sharing.
We've sent it to your inbox. Check your spam folder if it doesn't arrive within a few minutes.
One of our matched brokers will spend 20 minutes with you on a confidential call, then prepare a formal appraisal using recent settled deals in your sector.
Indicative only. The value range displayed by this tool is an automated, indicative estimate produced from user-entered figures, publicly reported Australian business sale multiples (2025–2026), and a standardised risk-scoring methodology. It is not a formal business valuation, market appraisal, sworn valuation, or opinion of market value.
Not financial, legal, or tax advice. This tool does not constitute financial product advice, personal advice, general advice, taxation advice, or legal advice under the Corporations Act 2001 (Cth), Tax Agent Services Act 2009 (Cth), or any other law. It does not take into account your objectives, financial situation, or particular needs. Before making any decision to sell, buy, invest in, restructure, or otherwise deal with a business or business interest, you should obtain independent professional advice from a licensed business broker, accountant, financial adviser, and/or lawyer.
No guarantee of sale price. The actual price a business achieves on sale depends on many factors this tool cannot capture — including buyer demand at the time of sale, macroeconomic conditions, interest rates, sector consolidation activity, quality of the sale process, the depth and accuracy of your financial records, competitive alternatives available to the buyer, and negotiation dynamics. Past sale multiples are not a reliable indicator of future sale outcomes. Businesses regularly sell for materially higher or lower than any indicative range, and some do not sell at all.
Accuracy of inputs. The output is only as accurate as the figures you enter. Adjusted profit (PEBITDA / Seller's Discretionary Earnings) requires careful normalisation of your accounts — add-backs must be defensible and supportable to a buyer's advisers in due diligence. Overstating adjusted profit is a common cause of failed sales.
Data sources and currency. The multiples used by this tool are drawn from publicly available Australian business broker publications and industry commentary from 2025–2026 (see methodology & sources, below). Multiples change over time and vary by transaction; individual comparable sales may fall well outside these ranges. BBNA does not warrant that the multiples used remain current or accurate at the time you read this.
No liability. Business Brokers Network Australia Pty Ltd, its directors, employees, member brokers, and CIM-PRO Pty Ltd exclude, to the maximum extent permitted by law, all liability (including in negligence) for any loss, damage, cost, or expense suffered or incurred by any person as a result of using, or relying on, the output of this tool. To the extent any statutory guarantee under the Australian Consumer Law cannot be excluded, our liability is limited to re-supplying the service.
Confidentiality & use of data. The figures you enter into this tool are processed in your browser to calculate the range and are not transmitted to BBNA unless you submit the optional email capture form. If you provide contact details, we handle them in accordance with our Privacy Policy and the Privacy Act 1988 (Cth).
Not an offer or solicitation. This tool is provided for informational purposes only. Nothing in it constitutes an offer, solicitation, or invitation to buy or sell a business, security, or interest of any kind.
How the value is calculated (CIM-PRO methodology):
Why conservative? Sellers who anchor too high often can't find buyers. Sellers who anchor too low leave money on the table. Our range aims for defensible — the number your broker can support with recent comparable transactions.
This is the same methodology BBNA brokers use in CIM-PRO — the deal execution platform every network broker runs on. Your matched broker will refine the appraisal with live comparables from settled Australian deals.
