Business Valuation
Independent business valuation for M&A, fundraising, shareholder disputes and succession planning, using recognized valuation methods.

Business valuation puts a defensible number on what a company is worth, using recognized approaches — discounted cash flow, comparable company/transaction multiples, or net asset value, selected based on the business and the purpose of the valuation. We prepare valuations for sale or acquisition negotiations, fundraising rounds, shareholder buy-outs or disputes, and succession or estate planning, delivered with a clear, documented methodology.
FAQs
1. Which valuation method is used for a UAE business?
The right method depends on the business and purpose — discounted cash flow suits businesses with predictable future cash flows, market multiples work well when comparable transactions exist, and net asset value fits asset-heavy or early-stage businesses. We often cross-check using more than one method for a more defensible result.

2. How long is a business valuation report valid for?
A valuation reflects a specific point in time and the assumptions/market conditions at that date, so it's generally considered current for 6–12 months depending on how quickly the business or market is changing. Significant changes in performance or market conditions can require an updated valuation sooner.

3. Do valuations for shareholder disputes need to be independent?
Yes — a valuation used in a shareholder dispute, buy-out or litigation context needs to be genuinely independent and defensible under scrutiny from the other party, which is different from a valuation prepared solely for internal planning. We structure dispute-related valuations with that scrutiny in mind from the start.
