Register interest

Founding stage · Established 2026

A clearer benchmark for business valuation in Australia.

BVCA is a new membership body for people who value Australian businesses. We are building it in the open: a published framework, published admission rules and, in time, a public register.

Established 2026. Founding stage. Administered by Valuation Group Pty Ltd. Not yet independent of a valuation provider. Admissions and register: not yet open.
01Where we're up to

We'd rather show you the progress than claim it.

Every part of BVCA is listed here with its real status. Select any line for the detail. We update this list as each step is done.

02Draft practice framework

Six expectations for any business valuation.

A plain-language draft, open for comment before it is adopted.

01
State the purpose, the interest being valued and the valuation date.
02
Use evidence that suits the business, its market and the engagement.
03
Explain the method, the assumptions and the judgement calls.
04
Disclose independence, conflicts and material limitations.
05
Keep working papers that support the conclusion.
06
Write so an informed reader can follow and test it.

04Governance

Who runs BVCA, today and next.

BVCA was set up by Valuation Group Pty Ltd, which also provides business valuation services. That is a conflict for a membership body, so we say it up front. BVCA will not issue any designation while it remains.

Today

  • Administered by Valuation Group Pty Ltd
  • No council or board appointed
  • No admissions panel appointed
  • No constitution, code of conduct or complaints process
  • Framework and grades are drafts

Before any designation is issued

  • A council with a majority of members who have no business ties to Valuation Group Pty Ltd
  • An admissions panel independent of Valuation Group Pty Ltd
  • A written constitution, code of conduct and complaints process, published on this site
  • Founders apply and are assessed like anyone else
