Independence statement.
A valuation is worth having only if it is independent. Here is what we do, on each engagement, to keep ours that way. Last updated 15 November 2026.
Why independence matters
A valuation is only as useful as it is independent. A value may have to support a sale, a purchase, a partner exit, a tax position or a dispute. If whoever produced the number had a stake in the result, it is weak evidence, and a buyer, a lender, the ATO or the party across the table will treat it as such. Agency Valuations exists to provide the opposite: a written valuation that holds up because those who prepared it had no stake in the result.
Fees fixed before work starts, never tied to the value
We charge a fixed fee on every engagement and agree it in writing before any work begins. What we are paid never depends on the concluded value, on whether a sale completes, or on any tax result. If a valuer is paid more or less depending on the answer, the valuer has a reason to prefer one answer. Settling the fee at engagement takes that reason away. Of everything we do to protect our independence this matters most, and we do not negotiate on it.
We value agencies. We do not sell them.
We do not broker, list or sell agencies, rent rolls or client books, and we take no part in the deal we are valuing. We hold no interest in the agencies, books or entities we value, and nothing we are paid depends on a transaction going ahead. Our only role is to give you an independent written report you can rely on.
The conclusion follows the evidence
We conclude at the most supportable value the evidence allows, whether or not it suits the person paying for the report. Where the evidence supports a stronger position, we say so and document why. Where it calls for a more cautious one, we report that. If someone asks us to work toward a figure fixed in advance, we tell them so and will not take the engagement on that basis.
Signed and documented
Every report is signed by a suitably qualified business valuer, carries an independence statement and follows the guidelines of APES 225 Valuation Services. We record the methods we considered, the evidence we relied on and the assumptions we made, so that the reasoning behind the number can be shown.
What we do not do
Valuations are all we prepare. We are not a registered tax agent, and we give neither tax advice nor legal advice. We hold no Australian financial services licence and give no financial product advice. How a value applies to your tax position, structure or transaction stays with your accountant, lawyer or adviser. The independent valuation comes from us; the advice comes from them.
