FIGURES

Based on an Industry Average Operating Profit of 60% , this delightful “coastal”, Tidal Deep Water River Front Lifestyle Tourist Park of 17 acres will give an astute buyer a healthy 11% Return On Investment (11% R.O.I.).

Gross Profit (Turnover) after G.S.T. paid (ex G.S.T.)= $320,000

Net Profit (Operating Profit) = $192,000 (based on an Industry Average Operation Profit (Owner Operated) of 60%.

320,000 x 60% = 192,000

Caravan Parks are valued on what is known as the “The Capitalisation Method of Valuation” which simply means the Net Operating Profit of the business is Capitalised by what is deemed to be the Expected Market Rate of Return.

Capitalisation Rates vary from Park to Park depending on Location, Size of Property, Combined Individual Assets Value and Total Annual Earnings. Current Capitalisation Rates are in the following ranges;

Coastal Freehold: 10% to 14%

Coastal Leasehold: 15% to 25%

Inland Freehold: 16% to 20%

Inland Leasehold: 25% to 30%

Example: A Freehold Caravan Park on or close to the Coast with Deep Water Frontage (Boat Ramp) on a Tidal River in a desirable location (within a reasonable distance of major cities- such as Wollongong and Sydney) may sell on a Capitalisation Rate of say 11%.

Assuming a Turnover of say $320,000 with an Industry Average Operation Profit (Owner Operated) of 60% or $192,000, the mathematical equation for Valuation would look like this: $192,000 Divided by 11 (=$174,54.54) Multiplied by 100 = $1,745,454. Rounded off to $1,750,000.

This is the Industry Accepted Guide for Market Valuation of Caravan Parks.
