Is an indicative valuation cheaper?

Usually, yes. An indicative assessment relies on defined assumptions and available information, and is suitable for internal decisions rather than for reliance by third parties.

Do you charge a percentage of the value?

No. Our fees reflect the work required and never depend on the value we reach, a transaction completing or the outcome of a dispute.

Can the fee be shared between shareholders?

Yes. Joint instructions, such as partner buyouts and expert determinations, are often shared between the parties.

When is the fee payable?

Payment terms are set out in the engagement letter, together with the scope and timetable.

How Much Does a Business Valuation Cost in Dubai?

The cost of an independent business valuation depends on the nature of the company, the interest being valued, the purpose of the valuation, financial complexity and the report required. Valuation Partners provides quotations based on the circumstances and scope of each instruction.

What determines the fee

Indicative or formal: A limited-scope indicative assessment needs less work than a formal valuation report, and both less than expert evidence for a tribunal.
Company size and complexity: A single trading LLC is quicker to value than a group spread across mainland, free-zone and DIFC or ADGM entities.
Number of entities: Each subsidiary, holding company and intercompany balance adds analysis.
Quality of financial records: Audited accounts and up-to-date management information shorten the work; unaudited or incomplete records add to it.
Shareholder and ownership complexity: Several share classes, profit-sharing terms in the MoA or family structures need more work.
Forecasting requirements: Valuations that rely on detailed forecasts, such as startups or impairment tests, need more modelling.
Intangible assets: Identifying and valuing brands, software or customer relationships adds specialist steps.
Cross-border elements: Subsidiaries or investors in other countries add jurisdictions, currencies and risk analysis.
Financial reporting needs: IFRS valuations require documentation for audit review and responses to auditor queries.
Litigation or expert reporting: Expert reports, responses and hearings are estimated as separate phases.
Timetable: Urgent deadlines can often be met but may affect the fee.
Report type: From a valuation letter to a full report, the deliverable shapes the work.
