FAQs

1.What is startup valuation and why is it important? 

Startup valuation is the process of determining the fair market value of your business based on financials, growth potential, equity structure, and industry benchmarks. Whether you're raising funds, issuing ESOPs, or onboarding investors, a clear valuation helps you negotiate better, demonstrate credibility, and align ownership terms legally and strategically.

2. What valuation methods do you use? 

SolvLegal applies globally accepted valuation frameworks such as Discounted Cash Flow (DCF), Comparable Company Analysis (CCA), and the Venture Capital Method. We select the most suitable approach based on your business model, growth stage, revenue predictability, and investor expectations.

3. Is this service suitable for pre-revenue startups? 

Absolutely. We specialize in pre-seed and early-stage valuations where financial forecasting, intellectual property, and market traction play a major role. Our legal experts ensure that even with limited financial history, your valuation remains credible and investor-friendly.

4. What documents should I submit?

 You’ll need to share your pitch deck, cap table, basic financials or projections, business plan, existing shareholder agreements (if any), and details about your product, market, and growth strategy. Our secure intake form will guide you step-by-step through the submission.

5. Do you offer support for ESOP structuring and SHA drafting?

 Yes. Beyond valuation, we offer optional advisory services for ESOP policy drafting, Shareholder Agreement structuring, and fundraising compliance—including investor onboarding, due diligence responses, and term sheet negotiation.

6. How long does the valuation process take? 

Standard turnaround time is 5–7 business days. If you're on a tight fundraising timeline, we also offer expedited delivery. Every report includes financial modeling, legal insights, and format options that suit investor presentations.

7. Is the report legally valid for investment rounds?

 Definitely. Our valuation reports are prepared by qualified legal and financial professionals and aligned with Indian laws such as the Companies Act, FEMA, and applicable startup guidelines. They are suitable for use with VCs, angel investors, incubators, and regulatory authorities.

8. Can I update the valuation later as my startup grows? 

Yes. We offer periodic revaluation packages so you can update your valuation based on new funding, revenue growth, ESOP allocation, or strategic changes. This helps you maintain compliance and control dilution across multiple rounds.

9.Is my startup information kept private and secure? 

Yes, your data is handled with full confidentiality. Our legal team follows strict internal practices to ensure your financial and business details are protected. All communications are managed by qualified professionals, and we’re happy to offer NDAs if you’d like added assurance.

10. What happens after I receive the valuation report? 

Once delivered, you can use the report for fundraising discussions, investor negotiations, ESOP planning, or board communication. If further legal or structural assistance is needed, SolvLegal is here to support with advisory, documentation, or regulatory filings.
