Frequently Asked Questions

Is a valuation report mandatory for government grants?

For equity-linked schemes where the government takes a convertible note or equity stake, a CA-certified valuation is mandatory. It is also increasingly required for large-ticket grants above ₹50 lakh as a due-diligence document.

Which valuation method is used?

The Discounted Cash Flow (DCF) method — the standard prescribed by DPIIT for recognised startups and accepted by SEBI for share issuance.

Can a pre-revenue startup get a valuation?

Yes — for pre-revenue startups we use projected cash flows with stated assumptions, certified by the CA. This is accepted by most grant committees and early-stage investors.

How long is the report valid?

Most grant bodies and investors accept a valuation not older than 6 months. We recommend a fresh report for each major funding round or grant application.

Is the report accepted by angels and VCs?

Yes — our DCF format is accepted by most angel networks and institutional investors as a reference valuation, especially at the Seed stage.
