Business Valuation Singapore, Independent, CFA-Led, SFRS-Compliant

Direct Answer

Business valuation in Singapore is an independent assessment of what a company is worth, using DCF, EV/EBITDA comparables, and NAV methods under IVS and SFRS. It is required for VCC and Section 13O/13U fund reporting, MAS and SGX compliance, and M&A transactions. Corvian Advisory delivers fixed-fee reports from SGD 2,000 in 2–4 weeks, with direct experience across the UAE-Singapore trade and fintech corridor.

Precise, IVS & SFRS-compliant business valuation for Singapore companies, plus target valuation for the UAE–Singapore corridor connecting the two leading East-West trade hubs. Led by our senior CFA, CA and ACCA qualified team. Fixed fee from SGD 2,000.

Both financial centres share a common playbook, tax efficiency, free zones, and common-law-adjacent frameworks, making Singapore-UAE deal structuring familiar territory. We assess Variable Capital Company (VCC) sub-fund structures for Singapore-based fund valuations.

Valuation Methods

How We Value a Business in Singapore

Income Approach

Discounted Cash Flow (DCF)

Present value of projected free cash flows, discounted at a WACC calibrated to Singapore and ASEAN market risk. We build independent financial projections — not the seller's model.
Best for profitable businesses with 3+ years of ACRA-filed accounts.
Market Approach

EV/EBITDA & ASEAN Comparables

Benchmarked against comparable Singapore-listed companies and recent ASEAN mid-market transaction precedents, with appropriate size, liquidity and control discounts.
Best for most mid-market Singapore businesses.
Asset Approach

Net Asset Value (NAV)

Fair value of net assets, restated from ACRA book values to fair market values under SFRS or IFRS. The right approach for VCC fund structures and holding companies.
Used for VCCs, holding companies, and Section 13O/13U fund NAV.
Conglomerate Approach

Sum-of-the-Parts (SOTP)

Each segment, subsidiary or asset class valued separately then aggregated. Commonly used for Singapore family holding structures with ASEAN regional operations.
Used for Singapore group structures with ASEAN subsidiaries.
Transparent Pricing

Why a UAE-Based Valuer for a Singapore Report?

VCC and Section 13O/13U fund-structure valuation work in Singapore is well served locally; what's harder to find is a valuer who also understands the GCC family office or fund on the other side of the engagement. We handle both directly — a CFA Charterholder signs every report personally, for a fixed fee agreed upfront, delivered in 2–4 weeks rather than the 4–8 typical of Big 4 and mid-tier firms.
