    What is a business valuation for?

    There are various reasons for which a business owner may require an expert assessment of the value of the business. For instance, to sell a business, when lending, upon liquidation, mergers and acquisitions and to resolve property disputes.

    For sale: The appraisal of an already established business for sale is a complicated method to determine the current market value of a property complex, including an appraisal of the value of the commercial real estate, equipment, and other intellectual property.

    For lending: Things can include shares, stocks, and the property complex of the business or its parts. It includes a deep technological, organizational, and financial analysis of the company’s activities, accounting for financial results for a specific period of time, and development forecast.

    Liquidation, mergers, and acquisitions: A professional evaluation of the market value of the results of activities cannot be dispensed while buying and selling, when there is a risk of being too cheap or overpaying, when it is required to accurately determine the potential for using the organization’s property as collateral.

    For resolving property disputes: An appraisal of the value of a commercial real estate object can help prove the inefficiency of using multiple objects. It allows the organization to get rid of non-core assets and switch to renting the necessary premises.

    Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

    Q1. What is a business valuation?
    A business valuation means finding the fair value of a company. It takes into account your sales, profits, assets, debts, future growth, and market conditions. The outcome is a clear estimate of what your business is worth. This value can be used for investors, regulators, or for making important business decisions. In short, it answers: “What is my company worth today?”

    Q2. Why is valuation important for my business?
    Valuation is important because it tells you the true worth of your business and helps in making informed decisions. It is useful in many ways:

    • Strategic planning – understanding where your business creates value and how to grow it
    • Fundraising or exits – negotiating fairly with investors or buyers
    • Regulatory compliance – meeting the requirements of SEBI, RBI, IBC, or tax laws
    • Succession planning – ensuring a smooth transfer of ownership to the next generation
    • Performance review – tracking how the value of your business changes over time

    In simple terms, valuation works like a financial health check-up for your company. Without it, you may miss important opportunities or overlook risks.

    Q3. What methods are used for valuation?
    Different methods are applied depending on the nature of the business and the purpose of valuation. Commonly used approaches include:

    • Income Approach (DCF Method) – values your business on the basis of projected future cash flows, discounted to today’s value. Best for growing companies.
    • Market Approach – compares your business with similar listed peers or recent transactions. Works well when there is market data available.
    • Asset Approach – calculates net worth based on assets minus liabilities. More relevant for asset-heavy businesses or liquidation cases.

    In practice, professionals often use more than one method and apply judgment to arrive at a balanced conclusion.

    Q4. What is a fairness opinion?
    A fairness opinion is an independent review by experts on whether the financial terms of a transaction are fair. For example, if a company merges, acquires, or buys back shares, the board and shareholders want assurance that the deal is at a fair price. A fairness opinion provides this comfort, reduces disputes, and builds credibility with regulators and investors.

    Q5. Do startups need valuation services?
    Absolutely. For startups, valuation is crucial because:

    • Investors rely on it to decide how much equity to take for their investment.
    • ESOPs require valuation for tax and accounting purposes.
    • Regulatory filings (such as under Companies Act or FEMA) often need certified valuations.
    • It also helps founders understand how their business is being priced, which can shape their growth strategy.

    Even if a startup is pre-revenue, valuation can still be done using methods tailored for early-stage businesses (e.g., scorecard or venture capital method).

    Q6. How is ESOP valuation different from business valuation?
    Business valuation gives the overall worth of the company. ESOP valuation, on the other hand, focuses specifically on the fair value of the shares issued to employees. This has to follow accounting standards (like Ind AS 102) and often uses mathematical models like Black-Scholes or binomial methods. While business valuation is about the company’s value in the market, ESOP valuation ensures employees are granted stock options at a fair and compliant price.

    Q7. How often should I get my business valued?
    A valuation should be done at least in these situations:

    • Every year – for accounting and ESOP-related compliance
    • Before major events – such as fundraising, mergers, acquisitions, or succession planning
    • When required by law – under the Companies Act, FEMA, IBC, or tax rules

    Today, many businesses treat valuation like an annual financial health report, not just a one-time exercise. Regular valuations help promoters track value creation, spot weak areas, and be better prepared for investors and growth opportunities.

    Q8. When do I need a regulatory valuation?
    A regulatory valuation is needed whenever the law specifically asks for it. Common examples include:

    • Companies Act – mergers, demergers, share allotments, or buy-backs
    • Income Tax Act – transfer pricing, capital gains, or issue of shares above fair value
    • FEMA (RBI) – issue or transfer of shares involving foreign investors
    • IBC (Insolvency) – resolution plans and asset valuations
    • SEBI Regulations – certain transactions of listed companies

    These valuations must be done by authorised professionals, such as Registered Valuers, to ensure transparency and compliance with the law.
