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.
