BizExchange has been monitoring Australian Private Business Values since March 2006, and publishing the BizExchange Index since September 2006. The September 08 Quarter Index is available now.

Key findings for the September Quarter 2008

1. Business prices have hit a new low as baby-boomers looking to retire try to sell into a buyers’ market. Many of these are now thinking twice about selling, either opting to hang onto their business for longer, or preferring to close rather than go through the pain of selling for a relatively small return.

2. The growth in the volume of businesses listed for sale in Australia has slowed with lower prices and an excess of businesses for sale making current owners think twice about selling.

3. The overall market trend of declining values continues with some fluctuation between quarters resulting from variations in the type and quality of businesses on offer.

4. The value of businesses continues to be aligned with turnover across all industry sectors, although the relative value of businesses with a turnover of half to one million dollars has declined in successive quarters.

5. The number of businesses advertised for sale for less than a year’s earnings has declined for the first time in over 12 months to 9% down from over 13% of all listings in the June Quarter. Although this is still well up from less than 1% just 21 months ago.
