Strategic Business Valuation & Transaction Advisory
Executing mergers, acquisitions, equity carve-outs, or securing growth capital requires accurate valuation and robust transaction structuring. In Pakistan, cross-border equity transfers, statutory mergers, and private placements demand rigorous compliance under the Companies Act 2017, the Competition Act 2010, the Foreign Exchange Manual of the State Bank of Pakistan (SBP), and Income Tax Ordinance regulations enforced by the Federal Board of Revenue (FBR).
Valuation Methodologies & Regulatory Frameworks
Our corporate finance and legal team applies internationally recognized appraisal standards, including Discounted Cash Flow (DCF), Comparable Company Analysis (CCA), Net Asset Value (NAV), and Earnings Capitalization. We align statutory reporting with International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) and Securities and Exchange Commission of Pakistan (SECP) guidelines.
| Valuation Context | Key Regulatory Authorities | Primary Compliance Milestone |
|---|---|---|
| M&A & Restructuring | SECP, High Court, CCP | Scheme of Arrangement approval & pre-merger clearance |
| Foreign Inward Investment | State Bank of Pakistan (SBP) | FE Circular 06 valuation & share issuance reporting |
| Tax & Transfer Pricing | FBR, PRA, SRB | Arm's length pricing and capital gains tax assessment |
