Business valuation in Kuwait is an independent assessment of what a company is worth, using DCF, EV/EBITDA GCC comparables, NAV and Sum-of-the-Parts methods under International Valuation Standards (IVS). It is required for Boursa Kuwait fairness opinions, CBK-regulated financial institution transactions, and family conglomerate restructurings. Corvian Advisory delivers fixed-fee reports from KWD 300 in 2–4 weeks, accepted by CBK, Kuwait banks, and Big 4 auditors.
Rigorous, IVS & IFRS-compliant business valuation for companies in Kuwait. Family conglomerate restructurings, Boursa Kuwait fairness opinions, CBK regulatory compliance, and bank financing, led by our senior CFA, CA and ACCA qualified team. Fixed fee from KWD 300.
Kuwait's economy is dominated by long-established family conglomerates spanning trading, real estate, and financial services, requiring Sum-of-the-Parts valuation across entity segments, with holding company discounts and inter-company eliminations correctly applied.
Boursa Kuwait and the Capital Markets Authority (CMA) require independent fairness opinions for listed company M&A, while CBK oversight adds regulatory rigour to financial institution valuations.
