Unlock business value with data.
Access real sales data from thousands of New Zealand business transactions so you can see what businesses like yours are really selling for.
You already know how this works.
Think about house prices. When a house goes on the market, its value is based on what similar houses in the area recently sold for. Every house is different, but comparable properties give us a clear starting point for value.
Valuing a house
A three-bedroom home in Ponsonby is worth what other three-bedroom homes in Ponsonby recently sold for. Real estate agents call these “comps”.
Valuing a business
A cafe in Auckland is worth what other similar cafes recently sold for. Business valuers call this a “market-based valuation”.
Bizstats collects real sale data from business brokers across New Zealand, so you can make valuation decisions grounded in real sale data.
How do I value my business with Bizstats?
Market-based valuations compare what similar businesses sold for, relative to their earnings. Enter your seller's discretionary earnings to see an indicative value.
