Clubs aren't valued like businesses
Registered and licensed clubs — RSL, sporting, bowling, golf and community clubs — sit somewhere between a not-for-profit and a hospitality business. They hold significant property and gaming assets, trade across bars, functions and food, and answer to a membership rather than shareholders. Valuing one takes an understanding of all of that.
allbec Advisory brings three decades of licensed-venue experience to club valuations, delivering figures that hold up for boards, auditors, financiers and the courts.
What a club valuation covers
- Property & assets — land, buildings, greens, courses and course infrastructure, fit-out and plant.
- Gaming entitlements — the value contributed by gaming machine authorities and operations.
- Trade & operations — bar, catering, functions and ancillary income and their sustainable margins.
- Going concern — the club as an operating whole, not just a sum of its parts.
When you need one
- Club amalgamations and mergers
- Financial reporting and audit
- Borrowing, refinancing and security
- Asset sales, leases and redevelopment
- Member and governance disputes
- Insurance and litigation matters
Our approach
We combine an assessment of the underlying assets with a going-concern view of the operation, supported by comparable evidence and verified financials. Where amalgamations are involved, we provide clear, independent figures that both sides — and the members they answer to — can trust.
