Valuation Consulting

A valuation answers what a business or its shares are worth — needed for raising equity, M&A, regulatory pricing under the Companies Act, FEMA, or the Income-tax Act, and for financial reporting. Its credibility rests on the right method and defensible assumptions.

The firm performs valuations using the accepted approaches — income, market, and asset-based — and coordinates the registered-valuer report where the law requires one.

Valuation consulting covers, including:

• Business and equity-share valuation for fund-raising and M&A
• Regulatory pricing under FEMA (FDI/ODI) and the Income-tax Act
• Valuation for share issues and transfers under the Companies Act
• Purchase-price allocation and reporting valuations
• Coordination of the registered-valuer report where required

PBT delivers valuations that are credible and fit for purpose.

• The right method for the purpose
• Defensible, well-documented assumptions
• Compliance with the applicable pricing rules
• Registered-valuer report coordinated where required
• Scope, deliverables, and fees agreed in writing up front

• When is a registered-valuer report mandatory?

  For many Companies Act transactions (such as certain share issues and schemes) the valuation must be by a registered valuer. We coordinate it where required.

• Which valuation method will you use?

  It depends on the business and purpose — income (DCF), market (comparables), or asset-based — often a combination. We select and reconcile them.

• How long does it take?

  A straightforward valuation takes one to two weeks; complex or regulatory valuations longer.
