What does business valuation for Qatari investors in the UAE cover? It is an independent, IVS-aligned valuation of a Qatari company, stake or joint venture interest, using DCF, market multiples and net asset value with IFRS-compliant reporting. It supports minority and control stake pricing, joint venture formation and Sharia-compliant structures. Corvian Advisory provides it from Dubai as UAE-based valuation advice for Qatari investors and Qatari-linked transactions, through a CFA-led team with 15+ years of Big 4 experience. Fixed fee from QAR 3,500, typically 2–4 weeks.
Independent, IVS-aligned and IFRS-compliant valuation of Qatari companies, minority and majority stakes and joint venture interests, prepared from Dubai. We are careful about control premiums, marketability discounts and Islamic finance conventions, 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 Qatar-linked engagement. The bulk of our Qatar work is stake and joint venture pricing, where the difference between a control and a minority value can be material.
Every conclusion in the report can be traced to an assumption, a source and a named reviewer, which is what an investment committee or auditor expects to see. We state the standard of value and the premise clearly at the start, so every party reads the number the same way.
Most Qatari-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 Qatari investors and on Qatari-linked transactions, prepared to IVS with IFRS-compliant reporting. We are not a Qatari-registered valuer. Where a statutory or regulatory valuation specific to Qatar is required, we work alongside a locally authorised valuer and coordinate our analysis with theirs.
For Qatar-linked stakes we value the whole business first, then bridge to the specific interest being transacted, showing every adjustment.
