ExploreA valuation service provides a certified, independent assessment of a company's or security's fair market value, conducted by a qualified professional for a specific purpose. Companies typically need one when issuing shares, granting ESOPs, raising funding, transferring shares between parties, preparing for M&A, or meeting regulatory filing requirements. Exact triggers vary by jurisdiction, company structure, and applicable law.
Book value is the net value of assets recorded on your balance sheet; what accounting says the company is worth. Fair market valuation reflects what an informed buyer would pay in an open market, factoring in future earnings potential, comparable transactions, and risk. For equity decisions, fundraising, and most regulatory filings, fair market value; not book value- is what matters.
Security is our foundation. Your cap tables, growth projections, and transaction records are fully encrypted and accessible only to verified, authorised stakeholders. We enforce role-based access controls, audit logs, and secure data protocols across every layer of the platform. Your financial data is never shared with third parties without consent.

Standard engagements covering ESOP pricing, share issuance, or regulatory filings are typically delivered within five to ten working days of receiving complete inputs. We require your latest financial statements, a current cap table, forward projections, and details of the transaction or filing purpose. Complex cross-border, multi-entity, or M&A-related valuations may take longer. We confirm the timeline at intake, before any work begins.
An ESOP valuation determines the fair market value of company shares specifically to price employee stock options; for grant, vesting, exercise, or accounting purposes. It often uses option pricing models such as Black-Scholes or Binomial, in addition to standard company valuation approaches. The result feeds directly into equity plan administration, financial reporting, and tax filings. Requirements and accepted methods vary by jurisdiction and plan structure.
The method depends on the purpose of the valuation, the company's stage, and its applicable regulatory or accounting framework. Common approaches include Discounted Cash Flow (DCF) for going-concern businesses, Market Comparables for benchmarking against peers, and Net Asset Value for asset-heavy entities. Financial modelling and valuation analysis often combines more than one method to produce a defensible, well-supported conclusion.
A certified valuation report documents the purpose, methodology, assumptions, financial inputs, sensitivity analysis, and final conclusion signed by a qualified professional. Most regulatory bodies accept reports for three to six months from the date of issue, assuming no material change in the company's financial position. Exact validity periods depend on the filing requirement, jurisdiction, and the nature of the equity event. We advise obtaining a fresh report after any significant corporate event.
In many cases, yes. A well-structured report can simultaneously serve multiple purposes such as supporting an equity issuance, an ESOP grant, and a financial reporting disclosure within the same engagement. However, this depends on the specific frameworks applicable to your company, the filing authorities involved, and the methods required by each. We assess your full compliance picture upfront and structure reports to maximise coverage across requirements wherever possible.
