What is Business Valuation?
Business Valuation is more than just a complex formula or a spreadsheet calculation - it is a strategic assessment of your company's market position, financial health, and future potential. Whether you are looking to raise capital, sell your business, or comply with statutory regulations, knowing the precise Fair Market Value (FMV) of your enterprise is highly important.
At Biz Valuations, we fix the gap between complex financial data and clear, actionable value. We move beyond simple "book value" to analyze intangible assets, market dynamics, and growth forecasts, providing you with a valuation report that reflects the true economic worth of your business.
Why You Need a Business Valuation
A professional valuation report is often the first step in major corporate transactions and regulatory filings. We provide defensible valuation reports for:
Mergers & Acquisitions (M&A)
Determining accurate Swap Ratios and Purchase Price Allocation (PPA) for mergers, demergers, and acquisitions.
Fundraising & Investment
Justifying your pre-money valuation to Angel Investors and Venture Capitalists (VCs) during seed and Series A/B rounds.
Regulatory Compliance
Meeting the strict norms of the Companies Act, 2013, Income Tax Act (Rule 11UA), and FEMA guidelines.
Dispute Resolution
Providing independent Fairness Opinions for shareholder disputes, family settlements, and arbitration.
Employee Incentives
Calculating the fair value for ESOPs (Employee Stock Option Plans) and Sweat Equity.

Our Valuation Methodologies
We utilize globally accepted valuation approaches specific to your business stage and industry:
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.
Regulatory Compliance & Standards
Our valuation practices keep to the strictest regulatory frameworks:
- IBBI (Insolvency and Bankruptcy Board of India): Valuations compliant with the Companies Act, 2013 for restructuring and insolvency.
- Ind-AS / IFRS: Valuation for Financial Reporting, including Purchase Price Allocation (PPA) and Impairment Testing.
- SEBI Regulations: Valuation for listed companies involving preferential issues, rights issues, and takeovers.
- Income Tax (Rule 11UA): Determination of Fair Market Value (FMV) for the issue of shares and tax compliance.
- FEMA / FDI: Valuation certification for Foreign Direct Investment (FDI) and cross-border transactions.
Our 4-Step Valuation Roadmap
1. Discovery & Scope
We start by understanding your business model, the purpose of the valuation, and the regulatory context.
2. Data Analysis
Our team analyzes your historical financials, projections, and industry benchmarks.
3. Drafting & Modeling
We apply the relevant methodologies (DCF, Market, or Asset) to build a detailed financial model.
4. Reporting
We deliver a complete, signed Valuation Report that explains our assumptions, methodology, and final conclusion of value.
Specialized Valuation Services
Standard valuation methods often fail to capture the nuance of modern financial structures. We use advanced modeling techniques to value complex assets and instruments.
Complex Financial Instruments
Our team uses specialized models (like Black-Scholes and Binomial Lattice) to value hybrid instruments, including Convertible Debentures (CCDs), CCPS, Options, and Derivatives often used in startup funding.
Intangible Asset Valuation
We assess the fair value of non-physical assets - such as Brands, Patents, Copyrights, and Customer Lists - essential for Purchase Price Allocation (PPA) under Ind-AS 103 and financial reporting.
Fairness Opinions
We provide an independent, third-party certification to Boards and shareholders, confirming that a proposed transaction price (M&A or Restructuring) is fair from a financial point of view.
ESOP & Sweat Equity
Precise valuation of Employee Stock Options and Sweat Equity for accounting expense recognition (Ind-AS 102) and Income Tax perquisite calculations.
Frequently Asked Questions
1How much does a business valuation cost in India?
The cost of a business valuation depends on the company's size, the complexity of its structure, and the purpose of the report (e.g., regulatory filing vs. internal reference). While basic valuations are affordable, complex M&A or regulatory reports requiring an IBBI Registered Valuer are priced higher based on the hours and expertise required.
2Who is authorized to issue a business valuation report?
In India, only an IBBI Registered Valuer is authorized to issue valuation reports for compliance under the Companies Act, 2013, and the Insolvency and Bankruptcy Code. For Income Tax purposes (Rule 11UA), a Merchant Banker or a Chartered Accountant may also be required depending on the specific method used.
3Do I need a valuation report to raise funds for my startup?
Yes, absolutely. Investors need a valuation to determine how much equity they receive for their capital. Furthermore, under the Income Tax Act (specifically regarding "Angel Tax"), you are legally required to have a valuation report to justify the share premium charged to investors.
4How long does the business valuation process take?
A standard business valuation typically takes 5 to 7 business days after we receive all necessary financial documents. However, complex valuations for mergers or litigation support may take 2 to 3 weeks. Urgent requirements can often be expedited.
5What is the best valuation method for a startup?
The Discounted Cash Flow (DCF) method is generally considered the best approach for startups. Since startups often have little history but high growth potential, DCF focuses on their future earning capacity rather than just their current assets.
6What documents do I need to provide for a valuation?
To get started, we typically need your Audited Financial Statements (last 3 years), Financial Projections (next 3-5 years), a Cap Table (current shareholding), and a brief note on your business model. For specific assets, additional details may be required.
7What is the difference between Price and Value?
"Price" is what you pay; "Value" is what you get. Price is the specific amount agreed upon between a buyer and seller in a deal, while Fair Value is an unbiased estimate of the company's worth calculated using standard methodologies, assuming a hypothetical transaction between willing parties.
8Is a valuation report mandatory for transferring shares?
Yes. If shares are being transferred between residents and non-residents (FEMA compliance) or if fresh shares are being issued at a premium (Income Tax compliance), a valuation report is mandatory to prove the transaction was done at Fair Market Value (FMV).
9Can you value a company that has no revenue yet?
Yes, we can. For pre-revenue or early-stage companies, we use specialized methodologies like the Scorecard Method, Berkus Method, or Risk-Adjusted Sum of Parts to determine a defensible value based on intellectual property, team strength, and market size.
10How long is a valuation report valid?
Generally, a valuation report is considered valid for 3 to 6 months from the date of issuance, provided there are no significant changes to the business or the economic environment. For regulatory filings, specific timelines may apply as per the relevant Act.
