AUS/NZ Most Trusted Business Valuation Tool & Industry Benchmarking Data

Bstar’s business valuation tool applies a patented algorithm and a prudential methodology to determine a valuation multiple specific to the business being valued.

This enables accountants and other advisory businesses to offer replicable and defensible AUS/NZ Small-Family-SME business valuations.

The tool is supported by the most accurate financial and exclusive non-financial industry benchmarking data.

Industry Financial Benchmarks include:

· EBIT percentage margin ‘like for like’ values

· EBIT margin fair market value multiples

· Owner(s) benefits benchmarks

· Key performance benchmarks

Industry Non-Financial Benchmarks (1.77m benchmarks and growing):

· Industry Drivers and Concerns

· Answers and Concerns

· Top Performers

This data enables users of the tool to validate key assumptions within comparable date and revenue ranges.

A distinctive feature of the tool and supporting benchmarking data is accessing a database of ‘like for like’ benchmarks that have been adjusted to validate EBIT Margin percentage values.

As of February 2026, 395 accounting practices in Australia and New Zealand use the tool daily.

The tool methodology, process and reporting comply with international and AUS/NZ professional standards.

Subscribers can use the tool and benchmarks to grow profitable and high margin business valuation, improvement, and succession planning services.

Business valuations can be transactional (specific purpose) and recurring (business advisory).

Examples of transactional valuation services include:

· Asset protection/estate planning

· Due diligence

· Employee share schemes

· Family and business ownership disputes

· Mergers and acquisitions

· Restructuring and tax planning

· Wealth management and advice

An ideal client for recurring business valuation services is a SME owner(s) 3 - 5 years out from succession, sale, and exit.

Once a business value has been determined, Bstar’s valuation tool and benchmarks integrates with automated business improvement planning and sounding board Accountability App. solutions.

The process includes the business being revalued each year until sale price expectations are met.

The financial returns for this client group includes $82k in business advisory fees over three years, and $2.5m FUM resulting from a successful sale.

In January 2026, Bstar released an AUS/NZ Small-Family-SME Business Valuation Services “Judgement & Data” White Paper.

The White Paper, supporting Article, Checklist and Case Studies identify known concerns, risks and flaws with current valuation processes and data sourced.

The Paper also highlights how non-financial KPI data is changing the landscape for business valuations.

This data is exclusive to Bstar and even the tax offices don’t have access to it.

Future developments will focus on more industry specific valuation models and using AI for automated data validation.
