Valuation Advisory
Valuation is a very complex, subjective and debatable space. It is impacted by a multitude of factors such as the subject company’s industry, its stage of development and the source of the invested capital. Additionally, the variety of purposes for which valuations are performed, the influence of regulatory requirements and available valuation methods further increase the complexity involved.
Of late, overall scope of valuation profession has increased substantially due to the following reasons–
- New-age entrepreneurs & start-ups aspiring to raise growth capital from outside investors such as angel / VC / PE investors
- Ever increasing dominance of intangibles in driving business growth and generating value for shareholders requiring such intangibles to be valued separately in transactions
- Recent regime shift within Companies Act, 2013 mandating appointment of registered valuers for various types of valuation assignments
- Valuation requirements for financial reporting purposes under IndAS
We, at SASL, mainly offer the following valuation services:
