Appraisal Method - Capitalisation

Capitalisation Method

There is sometimes a case to be made for a business value that includes the time

and capital needed to establish a business to a stage of development rather than

the profit or income it generates.

This method allows the use of intangible assets such as time & cost taken to obtain

industry specific licenses that are valuable and transferable. It may also include, council

development or change of use approvals that are a significant barrier to entry for new

startup enterprises.

An example would be a new restaurant build, as opposed to a renovation, that includes

Council approvale for use as a food establishment. Even without the physical assets such

as Exhaust canopies and grease traps there is intrinsic value to a purchaser in having

pre-approved Development consent.
