Market value being defined as what a similar practice or practices have sold for in an open market in an arms length no pressure transaction. As allied health practice brokers, we turn to our extensive inventory of market data, built on historical sales, of similar allied health practices. This contains all key aspects of practices, prices obtain and multiples used.

Allied Health Business Valuations

As qualified and Registered Allied Health Business Valuers (R.B.V) we can provide specific allied health business valuations for owners, sellers and buyers.  Allied Health Business Valuations are more formal valuation reports that might be needed for such instances as partnership buy in / buy out, family law court proceedings, divorce asset calculations, company re structure for stamp duty purposes to meet the needs of the ATO requirements. Valuations are very different to appraisals which cannot be used for these purposes.

What Is The Difference Between A Valuation and an Appraisal?

An appraisal is a “market estimate”of what a practice might sell for. It is technically a “back of the envelope” assessment of what price might be achieved. Appraisals have no legal foundation and cannot be used in a legal setting such as family court, divorce settlements or such instances as partnership disputes, buy in buy outs or for the tax office. To conduct an appraisal, the broker, agent or salesperson does not need any specific education or professional qualifications or experience.

Valuations are robust, detailed and defendable documents written to a legal standard and for a specific purpose. Valuations can only be undertaken and produced by qualified and experienced registered business valuers. Valuations are written to an independent standard and framework. In our case, we produce valuation reports in accordance with the International Valuations Standard Council guidelines. As allied health business valuers, we can also perform expert witness work or be called upon by the courts as independent expert valuers for 3rd party disputes over allied practice values. As far as we are aware, our firm hosts the only specialist registered allied health valuer and qualified business broker in Australia.
