What you get from us

Valuation Methodologies

  • Scorecard Method: (More relevant for early-stage Startups) Deriving the valuation through an objective assessment of the strengths of the Startup and the size of the opportunity.

  • Comparative Company Analysis: Understanding how much your peers are worth and then drawing comparisons to your Startup.

  • DCF Method: Computing the present value of your projected cash flows of the next 3-5 years.

  • Venture Capital Method: Computing the present value of the Startup's valuation as on the desired time of exit of the investor.

  • First Chicago Method: Considering different case scenarios and then deriving a weighted-average valuation.

  • Others, including using a combination of 2 or more of the above-mentioned techniques.

How this helps you

  • Understanding how much your Startup is worth today

  • Negotiating equity dilution at the deal table

  • Engaging professionals, senior executives and employees (through ESOPs) on an equity sharing basis

  • To fulfil the statutory requirement of obtaining a valuation report under Income Tax Act, Companies Act and FEMA Regulations (in case of oversees funding), i.e. valuation certificate by a Merchant Banker, Registered Valuer or Chartered Accountant, as the case may be.
