FAQ
Frequently Asked Questions
Your Questions Answered
What business transactions require a valuation in India?
Valuations are required or legally mandatory for business purchase and sale, M&A, reverse mergers, LBOs, MBOs, demergers, and any ownership transfer. Under the Companies Act, FEMA, Income Tax Act, and SEBI regulations, a Registered Valuer’s report is compulsory for most of these transactions.
Why should a buyer get an independent valuation before acquiring a business?
An independent valuation protects the buyer from overpaying by revealing the target’s true fair market value, uncovering hidden liabilities, and assessing cash flow sustainability. Lenders and PE investors also require independent valuation reports before sanctioning acquisition financing.
Why should a seller get a valuation before selling their business?
A pre-sale valuation sets a defensible asking price, prevents undervaluation, and reduces time wasted negotiating with misaligned buyers. It gives the seller a strong, data-backed negotiating position and builds credibility with serious buyers and their advisors.
How long does a business transaction valuation take?
A standard business valuation takes 7–21 working days, depending on complexity and data availability. For regulatory filings (NCLT, RoC, RBI), the timeline depends on the specific statutory requirements. Ascend Valuations can accommodate urgent timelines for time-sensitive transactions.
What financial information is needed for a business transaction valuation?
Required information includes audited financials for 3–5 years, projected financial statements, details of tangible and intangible assets, all liabilities, including off-balance-sheet items, key contracts, and details of any ongoing litigation or contingent liabilities, among other information.
