Independent business valuations in the UAE — DCF, market-multiple and asset-based — for M&A, shareholder disputes, financial reporting (IFRS 13 fair value), fundraising and statutory purposes, to International Valuation Standards.
We use the three recognised approaches — income (discounted cash flow), market (comparable companies and precedent transactions) and asset-based (net asset value) — and select and weight them based on the company, the industry and the purpose of the valuation.
Mergers and acquisitions, share transfers and buy-outs, shareholder or partner disputes, financial reporting (purchase price allocation and impairment under IFRS), fundraising, employee share schemes, and statutory or regulatory requirements.
We work to the International Valuation Standards (IVS), and to IFRS 13 fair value where the valuation is for financial reporting — so the result is independent and defensible to auditors, investors and courts.
Typically three to five years of financial statements, current management accounts, forecasts or a business plan, the cap table, and key contracts. We confirm a tailored information request once we understand the purpose and valuation date.
Most engagements take around two to four weeks from receiving complete information, depending on the complexity of the business and the level of assurance required.
Yes. Every valuation is methodology-led, with documented assumptions, cross-checked approaches and sensitivity analysis, set out in a report suitable for third parties such as auditors, investors and courts.
