Business valuation in Nepal
A valuation is only worth what it survives. Anyone can produce a number; the question is whether it holds when the other side, a bank, an investor or a tax officer asks how you arrived at it. We show the workings.
Who this is for
- Owners bringing in or buying out a partner
- Businesses raising equity and asked what they are worth
- Families dividing or transferring a business between generations
- Anyone handed a valuation who does not know whether it is fair
What it includes
Normalised historical performance
Earnings adjusted for owner remuneration, one-off items and related-party transactions, so the base reflects the real business.
Multiple methods, reconciled
Discounted cash flow, earnings multiple and net asset value, then a reasoned view on which carries weight for your business.
Documented assumptions
Every growth rate, margin and discount rate stated and justified. This is what makes a valuation defensible.
Sensitivity analysis
What the value becomes if the key assumptions move, so you negotiate with a range rather than a single number.
Valuation report
A written report suitable for a counterparty, a bank or a board — not a spreadsheet with a figure at the bottom.
Negotiation support
We explain and defend the analysis in the room where the price is agreed.
How it works
- 01
Purpose first
A valuation for a partner exit, a fundraise and a tax position are not the same exercise. The purpose sets the method.
- 02
Clean the numbers
Historical performance normalised, because valuing unadjusted accounts values the accounting, not the business.
- 03
Value and test
Multiple methods, sensitivity on what matters, and a reconciled range.
- 04
Report and defend
A report you can hand over, and support when it is questioned.
Questions people ask
- How is a business valued in Nepal?
- Usually by discounted cash flow, an earnings multiple, or net asset value — often all three, reconciled. Which dominates depends on the business: an asset-heavy manufacturer and a service firm with no assets are valued very differently. Anyone applying one formula to every business is guessing.
- What does a valuation cost?
- A fixed fee based on the size and complexity of the business and what the valuation is for. We quote after an initial conversation, before any work starts.
- How long does it take?
- Typically three to five weeks where the financial records are in order. Where they are not, cleaning the historicals comes first and we say so upfront.
- Can you value a loss-making business?
- Yes. Loss-making businesses still have value — in assets, in the customer base, in the market position. It changes the method, not the possibility.
