Business Valuation & Corporate Restructuring in Dubai, UAE

Overview

Business Valuation & Advisory by ASCA Audit and Advisory

Some financial decisions are too important to get wrong: selling a stake, admitting a partner, restructuring a group, entering a dispute. Each turns on one question — what is the business actually worth, and how should it be organised to create more value?

ASCA's advisory practice is led personally by our CEO & Managing Partner, CA. Anil M Thankamani, who brings over 20 years of top-management experience across audit firms and multinational companies to business valuations, corporate restructuring and management consulting engagements throughout the UAE.

Our Business Valuation & Advisory Services

Business Valuation

Independent valuations using income (DCF), market and asset-based approaches — for shareholder transactions, partner buy-ins and exits, disputes, financial reporting and strategic planning. Every valuation is delivered as a defensible, assumption-transparent report.

Corporate Restructuring

Redesign of group structures for tax efficiency, succession, risk isolation and regulatory compliance — including free zone/mainland optimisation under the UAE Corporate Tax regime.

Management Consulting

Hands-on performance improvement: profitability analysis, cost restructuring, pricing strategy and operating-model redesign, delivered with implementation support rather than slideware.

Business Plans & Feasibility Studies

Investor-grade business plans and feasibility studies with market analysis and full financial projections — for banks, investors, license applications and internal decision gates.

Financial & Tax Due Diligence

Buy-side and sell-side due diligence that surfaces the risks, adjustments and negotiating points hidden in the numbers before a transaction closes.

Frequently Asked Questions

When do I need a business valuation?

Typical triggers include selling or buying shares, admitting or exiting a partner, shareholder disputes, divorce or inheritance matters, fundraising, and financial reporting requirements such as purchase price allocation.

Which valuation methods do you use?

We apply the approach the situation demands — discounted cash flow, market multiples from comparable companies and transactions, and net asset approaches — usually triangulating between methods.

How long does a valuation take?

A standard SME valuation typically takes two to three weeks from receipt of complete information; complex or dispute-related valuations take longer.

Can restructuring reduce my UAE corporate tax?

Often, yes — through group formation, free zone qualification and rationalising intercompany flows. Restructuring must be commercially driven and properly documented, which is exactly how we design it.
