Valuation Advisory plays a crucial role when businesses are raising capital, offering ESOPs, undergoing mergers or restructuring, or planning compliance-driven filings.

Business valuation is the analytical process of determining the economic worth of a company or asset based on financial performance, market position, cash flow potential, risk profile, assets and industry benchmarks. Valuation is required for fundraising, mergers, exit planning, ESOPs, restructuring and regulatory filings.
Valuation is required in multiple scenarios including:
In India, valuation must be conducted by a Registered Valuer under the Companies Act, 2013 or a Merchant Banker (as required under SEBI, FEMA and Income Tax regulations). Only certified professionals are legally allowed to issue valuation reports for regulatory and investment purposes.
Valuation may be based on different approaches depending on business stage and financial maturity:
Startups often use DCF and market-based valuation due to limited historical financials.
The duration depends on company size, financial data availability and purpose of valuation. On average, valuation takes 7–21 days for most companies. Complex transactions, asset-heavy businesses or regulatory filings may take longer.
Yes. A valuation report is mandatory for regulatory compliance under Companies Act, FEMA and Income Tax when issuing shares, ESOP grants, CCPS conversion or raising capital. It ensures the offered share price is fair and compliant with statutory rules.
Yes. For FDI transactions, valuation must follow FEMA pricing guidelines and be issued by a recognised Merchant Banker. Lawcify supports FEMA-compliant valuation reports and filing procedures including FC-GPR and other RBI submissions.
Absolutely. A higher valuation results in lower equity dilution, while a lower valuation increases stake dilution during investment. A professionally prepared valuation helps in negotiation, investor confidence and compliance acceptance.
