Service Description: A structured, evidence-based assessment of what your business may be worth — built to support high-stakes decisions: raising investment, an acquisition or exit, a merger, ownership or shareholder changes, succession planning, or major strategic decisions. I combine financial analysis, market-based comparisons, and an honest look at your business fundamentals to build a well-supported valuation range, explain the assumptions behind it, and translate the findings into practical guidance you can act on — not just a number in a spreadsheet.
Why Work With Me:
20+ years of executive advisory experience across SMEs, startups, and family businesses in Qatar and the region — an assessment grounded in real operating and market context, not a generic template
Certified Management Consultant (CMC) and PMP-certified — a structured, evidence-based approach built on documented assumptions and disclosed limitations, so it holds up well when investors, partners, banks, or boards ask questions
I don't stop at a number: I explain the business factors driving it, so you understand the reasoning behind your company's value
An objective perspective, independent of any deal team, investor, or counterparty involved in your transaction
What I Assess:
Financial Performance: revenue and profitability trends, cash flow, financial position, historical results, and available projections
Business Fundamentals: business model and revenue drivers, competitive position, customer and supplier concentration, growth opportunities, and key risks or dependencies
Market Context: industry conditions, comparable businesses and transactions, and relevant market-based valuation indicators
Methodology: the right combination of income-based, market-based, and asset-based approaches for your business and the purpose of the engagement
What You Gain:
A structured valuation report with a well-supported valuation range — not a single figure presented as certain
A transparent explanation of methodology, assumptions, and limitations
Financial and business analysis relevant to your specific situation
Identification of value drivers and risks — useful well beyond the transaction itself
An executive summary built to support management or board discussions
Who This Service Is For:
SME owners and entrepreneurs who need a considered basis for planning or negotiation
Founders preparing to raise investment
Business owners considering a sale or exit
Family businesses managing succession or ownership transitions
Investors and partners who need an independent-minded valuation as part of their own decision-making

Scope & Information: defining the engagement scope, deliverables, methodology, and information required
Business & Financial Assessment: reviewing the relevant financial and operational information
Valuation Analysis: applying the selected approach and testing assumptions against the evidence
Findings & Report: organizing the analysis, assumptions, and limitations into a clear report

Frequently Asked Questions:
What is a business valuation, and how is it different from a company audit? A business valuation estimates what your company may be worth. An audit is an assurance engagement on financial statements. The two serve different purposes and shouldn't be treated as interchangeable.
Is this the same as a certified or regulatory valuation? No. This is a business advisory valuation intended to support your own decisions and negotiations. Where a valuation is required for a specific legal, regulatory, tax, or accounting purpose, a certified or regulated appraiser should be engaged separately.
Why do I need a valuation before raising investment? It gives you and investors a structured, defensible basis for discussing ownership, terms, and expectations — though it doesn't determine what investors will ultimately accept.
Will the valuation set the final selling price of my business? Not necessarily. It provides an analytical basis for the number; the final price also depends on negotiation, market conditions, and deal structure.
What information do you need to produce a valuation? Financial statements and management accounts, revenue and profitability data, business model and ownership details, and any relevant projections — confirmed during the initial consultation.
How long does a Business Valuation take? A short, focused engagement scoped to your business size and complexity — timeline confirmed after an initial scoping call.
Is this suitable for small and medium-sized businesses? Yes — the scope and approach are tailored to your size, objectives, and the information available.
Get Started: Start with a Valuation Consultation — let's discuss your objectives and the right scope for your engagement.
Note: A valuation estimate provides a structured, evidence-based basis for decision-making — it does not guarantee a transaction price, investment outcome, or future performance. This service is a business advisory valuation, not a certified or regulatory valuation. Where a valuation is required for a specific legal, regulatory, tax, or accounting purpose, a certified or regulated appraiser should be engaged separately.
