Financial Models We Build

The right financial model depends on your purpose. A fundraising model for a Series B investor has different requirements from an LBO model for a PE buyout or a DCF model for a business sale. We build the right model for the right context.

01

Integrated 3-Statement Model

A fully linked P&L, balance sheet, and cash flow model — all driven by a single assumption set. The foundation for all financial analysis and the standard for bank lending, investor fundraising, and M&A. Built to Big 4 audit standards with full balance sheet checks.

02

DCF Valuation Model

Discounted cash flow model for business valuation — projecting free cash flows and discounting at a risk-adjusted WACC. Includes sensitivity analysis on revenue growth, margin, and discount rate. Used for M&A pricing, fairness opinions, and IFRS valuation support.

03

M&A Merger Model

Combination model for assessing the financial impact of an acquisition — including deal structure, financing, synergies, accretion/dilution analysis, and pro-forma combined financials. Used for buy-side and sell-side M&A in the UAE and GCC.

04

LBO Model

Leveraged buyout model for private equity transactions — debt capacity analysis, returns modelling (IRR, MOIC), debt waterfall, and exit scenario analysis. Used by PE buyers, family offices, and management buyout teams across the GCC.

05

Fundraising / Investor Model

Investor-ready financial projections for startup and growth-stage companies raising Series A through pre-IPO. Includes pre-money/post-money valuation bridge, use of proceeds, and clear unit economics — formatted for GCC family office and VC investor review.

06

Scenario & Sensitivity Analysis

Multi-scenario models with base, upside, and downside cases — and sensitivity tables showing how key value drivers affect the outcome. Required by most UAE bank credit committees and institutional investors as part of their investment or lending decision.

Frequently Asked Questions

Financial Modelling FAQs

A financial model is a structured, quantitative representation of a business's financial performance — integrating P&L, balance sheet, and cash flow in a single dynamic Excel model. UAE businesses need them for M&A transactions, investor fundraising (Series A to pre-IPO), lender presentations, strategic planning, and business valuation (DCF analysis).
We build: integrated 3-statement models; DCF valuation models; M&A merger models with accretion/dilution; LBO models for PE transactions; fundraising models for Series A to pre-IPO; lender models with debt capacity and covenant analysis; project finance models; and multi-scenario sensitivity analysis. The right model type depends on the purpose and audience.
An institutional-grade model is fully dynamic (all outputs driven by clearly labelled input assumptions — no hard-coded numbers buried in formulas), has a documented structure (separate input, calculation, and output sections), reconciles to balance sheet checks (assets = liabilities + equity), includes scenario analysis, and has clean, consistent formatting. This is what Big 4 due diligence teams, PE investors, and UAE bank credit committees expect.
Financial modelling at Corvian Advisory starts from AED 8,000 for simpler fundraising or valuation models. Comprehensive integrated 3-statement models with full scenario analysis for M&A or institutional investor review range from AED 15,000 to AED 25,000. All fees are fixed and agreed before work begins.
