What does business valuation for Chinese investors in the UAE cover? It is an independent, IVS-aligned valuation of a China-linked business or a UAE hub or joint venture pursued by Chinese investors, using DCF, market multiples and net asset value with IFRS-compliant reporting. It supports hub acquisitions, joint ventures and group reporting. Corvian Advisory provides it from Dubai as UAE-based valuation advice for Chinese investors and Chinese-linked transactions, through a CFA-led team with 15+ years of Big 4 experience. Fixed fee from CNY 20,000, typically 2–4 weeks.
Independent, IVS-aligned and IFRS-compliant valuation for Chinese corporates and investors building a regional presence through UAE acquisitions, hubs and joint ventures. We put weight on asset, contract and supply chain quality, and every report is signed by CFA, CA and ACCA qualified practitioners.
A CFA Charterholder and Chartered Accountant with Big 4 transaction experience leads each China-linked engagement. Our team is used to explaining IFRS-based UAE numbers to investors who report under a different framework.
We do not hand mandates down to junior teams; the practitioner you meet at the scoping call reviews the analysis before it reaches you. Chinese investors often want to see how a UAE hub fits a wider supply chain, so we connect the valuation to contracts, capacity and customer mix rather than to headline multiples alone.
Most Chinese-linked mandates need more than one valuation. We provide the full range from the UAE, so one CFA-led team can value the target, allocate the purchase price and support reporting afterwards. Every report is IVS-aligned, with IFRS-compliant reporting.

Corvian Advisory provides UAE-based valuation advice to Chinese investors and on Chinese-linked transactions, prepared to IVS with IFRS-compliant reporting. We are not a Chinese-registered valuer. Where a statutory or regulatory valuation specific to China is required, we work alongside a locally authorised valuer and coordinate our analysis with theirs.
For China-linked hub investments we test the operating model first, then the multiple, because a hub is only as valuable as the contracts and capacity behind it.
