What is a business valuation?

A business valuation estimates what a company or its shares are worth for a stated purpose and date. Several laws prescribe who must sign the report and which methods are acceptable, so the purpose decides the report.

When does the law require a registered valuer?

Under the Companies Act, 2013 a registered valuer's report is required for preferential allotments and private placements (sections 62(1)(c) and 42), non-cash transactions with directors (section 192), compromises, arrangements and mergers (sections 230 to 232) and minority buy-outs (section 236). Section 247 and the Companies (Registered Valuers and Valuation) Rules, 2017 govern who can act.

In insolvency, the resolution professional appoints two registered valuers to estimate the fair value and liquidation value of the corporate debtor's assets.

Which methods do we use?

We choose among the income, market and asset approaches: discounted cash flow for businesses with reliable projections, comparable companies and transactions where data exists, and net asset value for holding and asset-heavy companies. For early-stage companies we add start-up methods such as the venture-capital, scorecard and first-Chicago methods.

Our valuation engine runs 18 methods with a 10,000-iteration Monte Carlo simulation and sensitivity tables, so the report shows how the value moves with each key assumption.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is angel tax still relevant?
Section 56(2)(viib) does not apply from assessment year 2025-26. FEMA pricing, Companies Act valuations and the income-tax fair-value rules on share transfers still apply.
How long does a valuation take?
Usually two to three weeks from receipt of complete data; a deadline-driven report can be done faster when the data is ready.
Which offices deal with a business valuation for a business in Chakala?
Company-law and insolvency matters for companies here go to the NCLT Mumbai Bench, and writ petitions to the Bombay High Court. Companies with a registered office in Chakala come under the Registrar of Companies, Mumbai (Mumbai-I), for Mumbai City and Mumbai Suburban districts.

Yes. We also work with businesses in Andheri East, Sahar, Marol, Jogeshwari East and SEEPZ and elsewhere in Mumbai, on the same terms and online.
Do I need to visit your office from Chakala?

Which report and approach fit this business valuation, share transfer or ownership decision?
The purpose decides the report and who signs it. A preferential allotment, merger or other valuation required by the Companies Act needs an IBBI Registered Valuer’s report. Foreign investment needs a FEMA pricing certificate from a Chartered Accountant in practice, a SEBI-registered merchant banker or a practising cost accountant. Income-tax value follows the prescribed rule. Insolvency needs two Registered Valuers’ fair and liquidation values. Accounts use fair value under Ind AS 113. A negotiation or family settlement has no statutory format. The approach then follows the business: income approach (discounted cash flow) where future cash flows can be estimated, market approach (listed comparables or transactions) where good comparables exist, and asset approach (net asset value) for holding or asset-heavy companies, with adjustments for control, minority stakes and marketability.
