Business Valuation Services in Dubai, U.A.E
Valuations Delivered in Live Deal Timelines
Business or corporate valuations are inherently complex and often debated among market participants, investors, and businesses. They demand a deep understanding of multiple factors, including market size and growth potential, historical and projected financial and operational performance, applicable discount rates, comparable industry transactions and trading multiples, as well as the broader legal and regulatory landscape.
Valuations are required while raising capital for your business in local and international markets, compliance to regulatory and tax requirements in economic zones, onboarding a new investor or major shareholder, portfolio valuation for end of the year financial reporting, or during the M&A journey of a business.

Your Questions, Answered
Who can do business valuations?
A consultant specializing in Financial Advisory services would be the expert who can lead and execute this process. A comprehensive understanding of key valuation methodologies such as DCF (discounted cash flow), CCA (comparable company analysis), precedent transactions (PT), VC (Venture Capital method), and international valuation standards (IVS) is vital to maximise the process.
How long does the valuation process take?
The timeline depends on your organization’s size and the complexity of operations. Smaller businesses may be valued in 2 weeks, while larger or more extensive valuations of MNCs and Groups can take 3–8 weeks.
How are business valuations calculated?
Business valuation is calculated using a blend of market data, financial performance, and strategic factors. The Market Approach compares similar companies or recent transactions, the Income Approach forecasts future cash flows using DCF, and the Asset-Based Approach values net assets. A holistic valuation also considers industry trends, competitive positioning, risk factors, and intangible assets like brand value and intellectual property.
