Business Valuation Services
We provide independent, defensible business and share valuations for M&A, fund raising, IPOs, ESOPs, regulatory (Income Tax, FEMA, Companies Act) and IBC / restructuring purposes.
Overview
A defensible valuation depends on the purpose, the applicable regulation and the method used. A number that fits a fund raise may not withstand tax scrutiny or IBC challenge.
Our valuation practice combines financial rigour with practical understanding of regulatory expectations — Income Tax Rule 11UA, FEMA / RBI pricing guidelines, IBC, Companies Act and SEBI norms.

Challenges we help you navigate
Fragmented advisors, uneven quality
Most business valuation mandates cross tax, legal, finance and secretarial workstreams. Handing them to separate advisors creates gaps in strategy, timelines and accountability.
Regulatory complexity and shifting law
The regulatory landscape around business valuation has moved quickly in the last few years. Precedents, circulars and enforcement priorities change how a matter should be structured and defended.
Commercial trade-offs, not just paperwork
Every business valuation decision affects cash, tax, timelines and stakeholder trust. Documentation alone is not enough — the underlying commercial call has to be right.
Execution capacity under time pressure
Boards and promoters usually engage on a deadline — a filing, a board meeting, a diligence, a hearing. Slippage is expensive and often irreversible.

Frequently asked questions
Which valuation method is right for my company?
It depends on stage, sector and purpose. Mature businesses lean on DCF and multiples; asset-heavy on NAV; early-stage on venture / option methods. Regulatory valuations follow prescribed methods.
