FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

Find answers to the most common queries regarding business valuations, regulatory compliance, and process timelines.

Startup and business valuations are required by founders during fundraising rounds to justify equity allocation to venture capitalists, when designing employee stock option pools (ESOPs), or under statutory mandates like Companies Act, FEMA, or Income Tax compliance.

The primary governing frameworks are the **Companies Act, 2013** (for share allotment and buybacks), the **Income Tax Act, 1961** (Rule 11UA for premium taxation), the **FEMA guidelines** (under RBI for cross-border investments), and **SEBI regulations** (for listed entities and market buybacks).

Statutory certificates must be issued by **IBBI Registered Valuers** (for Companies Act and Income Tax asset class reporting) or SEBI-registered Category-1 **Merchant Bankers** (mandatory for specific tax rules, like Rule 11UA share premium valuation).

The methodology is selected based on the asset type, development stage, and regulations. It includes **Income Approach** (Discounted Cash Flow), **Market Approach** (Comparable Companies Multiples or Transaction Multiples), and **Asset Approach** (Net Asset Value). For options and convertible debt, we leverage quantitative Black-Scholes modeling.

Typically, once the documents listed in our checklist are fully shared with our analytical team, we deliver the initial draft report within 5 to 7 business days. Complex structural valuations may take slightly longer.

Yes, absolute defensibility is our core value. Our models use highly transparent, verifiable market data, standard discount rates, and explicit assumptions. We support our clients if statutory auditors raise technical queries on the methodology.

You typically need your latest audited financial statements, a detailed cap table showing equity holdings, a 5-year business forecast model, and brief details about the current round or regulatory transaction purpose. You can compile your list using our interactive checklist tool.

An IBBI Registered Valuer is registered under the Insolvency and Bankruptcy Board of India and is mandatory for Companies Act and general corporate compliance. A Merchant Banker is registered with SEBI and is specifically mandated by the Income Tax Act under Rule 11UA for valuing equity shares issued at a premium (under the DCF method).

Under FEMA pricing guidelines, share transactions must happen at or above the fair market value determined on the date of transaction or within a 90-day window leading up to it. Generally, a report is considered valid for the specific transaction it was compiled for, provided no material changes occur.

Pre-revenue startup valuations are structured using the Income Approach (with custom risk adjustments on future cash flows) along with market proxy comparables and fundraising stage benchmarks. We focus on building defensible forecasts that justify market premium.
