About

What share valuation covers for founders and investors

Share valuation focuses on a defined ownership interest, not only the headline value of a company. We review the purpose of the assignment, the shareholding pattern, financial information and relevant rights before forming a conclusion. The work can support a transfer, investment decision, financial reporting need or legal, tax and regulatory compliance requirement. The report’s content depends on the assignment purpose and the information available, so a cap table alone is not enough. Our main recommendation is to define the intended use before collecting documents. A report prepared for an investor discussion may need a different focus from one prepared for a compliance filing.

What Shares valuation Covers

Shares valuation is a professional assessment that measures the value of an ownership interest in a business.

  • Shares valuation differs from business valuation because it focuses on the specific ownership interest and its relevant rights.
  • Across India, the assignment scope is set by the purpose, records available and applicable legal or regulatory requirements.
Process

How we build a share valuation report

1

Define the assignment purpose

We identify whether the work supports a transfer, funding decision, reporting need, investment review or compliance requirement.

2

Review ownership and financial records

We examine the cap table, ownership interests, financial details and other records relevant to the stated purpose.

3

Assess the relevant value factors

We apply recognised valuation methodologies and consider the business position, share rights, financial information and assignment context.

4

Prepare and explain the report

We provide a purpose-specific written report and explain the valuation conclusion, assumptions and information used.

What to prepare before discussing share value

Bring the records that explain ownership, finances and the reason for the assignment.

  • Current cap table and shareholding details
  • Financial statements and relevant financial records
  • Shareholder agreements and issue or transfer documents
  • Funding documents and investor terms
  • A clear note about the report’s intended purpose
  • Relevant legal, tax or regulatory correspondence

Questions about share value and valuation reports

Who provides shares valuation across India?

StartupConsultant.Business.in provides shares valuation across India for founders, businesses, investors and other stakeholders. Our work is led by Gaurav Maheshwari, an IBBI Registered Valuer (S&FA). We review the ownership interest, financial details and assignment purpose before preparing a written report.

What documents should I prepare for a share valuation?

Ownership records, financial statements and the assignment purpose form the core document set. Useful records include the cap table, shareholder agreements, funding documents and transfer papers. We identify any further information after understanding the intended use, because a compliance report and an investment review can require different evidence.

What changes the cost of valuing startup shares?

The assignment purpose, ownership structure, financial complexity and records required influence the cost. A straightforward holding review needs a different level of work from a report involving funding terms, legal requirements or several share classes. We explain the work involved during a Free Consultation and provide pricing before proceeding.

How is share valuation different from business valuation?

Share valuation measures a specific ownership interest, while business valuation assesses the business as a whole. The share review can require attention to rights, restrictions, share classes and the cap table. We select the report scope after identifying which interest and decision the customer needs to assess.

Can the report support legal, tax or regulatory needs?

Yes, a valuation assignment can support legal, tax or regulatory compliance when that purpose is defined at the outset. The report must match the applicable requirement and available evidence. We review the intended filing or decision, then prepare purpose-specific documentation aligned with applicable requirements.

Should I use an online calculator for private company shares?

An online calculator cannot replace a purpose-specific professional report when ownership rights, records or compliance requirements matter. Private company shares require review of the cap table, financial details and assignment purpose. We assess those records and explain the basis of the written conclusion.

How can I check an IBBI registered valuer's credentials?

You should check the valuer’s stated IBBI registration details and confirm that the specialisation matches the assignment. Our work is led by Gaurav Maheshwari, an IBBI Registered Valuer (S&FA), registration number (IBBI - SFA) IBBI/RV/11/2021/14432. The report purpose should also be clear before engagement.

Scenarios

When Customers Call Us About Shares valuation

1

Valuation Needed for a Compliance Filing

A pending compliance filing can make share valuation time-sensitive for an Indian company. The purpose of the valuation, ownership records, financial information and applicable regulatory requirements must be scoped before work begins. We review the available documents, identify the relevant compliance considerations and set out the information needed for a written valuation assignment. An initial consultation helps establish the correct scope before the filing work proceeds.

2

Share Transfer With Unclear Value

Shareholders planning a transfer may need an objective value for the relevant shares. The analysis can depend on the company’s financial position, ownership interest, transaction purpose and supporting records. We assess these details during intake, check the documents provided and explain the information required for the assignment. A structured valuation can give the parties a documented basis for their next step.

3

Investment Review Before a Funding Decision

Founders and investors assessing a proposed funding transaction need to understand how the share value fits the business position. Startup financial records, ownership details, funding terms and the purpose of the assessment can shape the scope of work. We start with document collection and scoping, then examine the relevant financial and ownership information. Our written advice is prepared for the stated decision, with record keeping that supports later financial, reporting or compliance discussions across India.
