What is a Business Valuation?
Business Valuation is the statutory and analytical process of determining the economic worth of a business unit or its ownership of interest. In India, this process is governed by the Companies Act, IBC, and FEMA, which mandate the use of "Internationally Accepted Valuation Methodologies". It is not merely an accounting exercise but a legal requirement for capital infusion, restructuring, and cross-border transactions to ensure fair pricing and transparency.

Key Benefits of Professional Valuation
Valuation Methodologies Used
- Income Approach (Discounted Cash Flow - DCF): The gold standard for Startup Valuation. We project future free cash flows and discount them to present value, capturing the company's growth potential.
- Market Approach (Comparable Companies): We set your business against similar listed peers (Comparable Company Analysis) and recent transaction multiples (Precedent Transactions) to derive a market-driven value.
- Asset Approach (Net Asset Value - NAV): Essential for investment companies and manufacturing firms. We calculate the fair value of all tangible and intangible assets with minus liabilities.

Frequently Asked Questions
1Who can sign a Business Valuation report in India?
Only an IBBI Registered Valuer (for Companies Act/IBC) or a SEBI Registered Merchant Banker (for specific FEMA/SEBI cases) is legally permitted to sign statutory reports.
2What is the difference between Fair Market Value and Liquidation Value?
Fair Market Value assumes a transaction between willing parties in an open market, while Liquidation Value is the distressed value realized in a short timeframe.
3Is a Registered Valuer report mandatory for issuing shares?
Yes, under Section 62 of the Companies Act, any preferential allotment of shares—for cash or non-cash—strictly requires an IBBI valuation report.
4How long does the valuation process take?
Standard reports are delivered within 5-7 working days, while complex IBC or M&A valuations typically take 2-3 weeks after data collection.
5Which methodology is preferred by the RBI for FDI?
The RBI mandates "Internationally Accepted Valuation Methodologies," with the Discounted Cash Flow (DCF) method being the most widely accepted standard.
6Can the same valuer handle both Income Tax and Company Law valuation?
Yes, as IBBI Registered Valuers, we structure reports to simultaneously satisfy Section 247 of the Companies Act and Rule 11UA of the Income Tax Act.
7What is the validity period of a valuation report?
For most regulatory filings, a report is generally considered valid for 3 to 6 months, assuming no material changes in financial health.
8What happens if I proceed without a certified valuation?
Non-compliance can lead to the rejection of ROC/RBI filings, heavy monetary fines, and potential prosecution for directors.
