Purchase Price Allocation Services in the UAE

Knowing what your business is worth is the foundation for making the right calls when the stakes are high. When you are planning a sale, buying another company, raising capital, settling a shareholder dispute, or mapping out your next big move, a clear and credible valuation puts you in control.

The experts at Kreston ME Consulting (KMEC) give you the clarity to negotiate confidently, plan strategically, and protect every stakeholder’s interests through our business valuation services in Dubai.

What Is Business Valuation?

At its core, business valuation is about figuring out the fair economic value of your company. But it is not just about adding up assets and liabilities. A proper valuation digs deeper, blending financial analysis, market comparisons, and regional realities to arrive at a figure that reflects the true worth of your business.

Done right, it can help you:

• Negotiate better terms in deals
• Secure investor trust and funding
• Meet compliance and reporting obligations
• Resolve disputes without dragging things through court

In short, valuation is the difference between moving forward with uncertainty and moving forward with confidence.

Why Business Valuations Are Significant?

Without a reliable valuation, business owners often face challenges, especially during financing or legal disputes. A thorough, independent valuation gives you a 360° view of your company’s worth based on:

• Financial performance: revenue, profit quality, and cash flow health
• Market position: where you stand compared to similar businesses
• Regulatory compliance: alignment with UAE and GCC requirements
• Future potential: growth capacity and risk factors

Valuations are essential in situations like:

• Mergers and acquisitions
• Raising capital or attracting private equity
• Shareholder buyouts and disputes
• Financial reporting and audits
• Litigation and settlements
• Strategic planning or restructuring

KMEC handles valuations across the UAE and GCC for a wide variety of transactions, reporting needs, strategic scenarios, and more.

KMEC’s Business Valuation Services

Different situations call for different valuation approaches, and here is ours:

1. Standard Business Valuation

For established companies seeking a clear, balanced view of their worth, often used in sales, purchases, or strategic planning.

2. Distressed Business Valuation

For businesses facing financial strain. We assess realistic market value while factoring in urgent timelines and debt structures.

3. Investor Portfolio Valuation

For investors and fund managers needing accurate valuations of multiple holdings to guide portfolio strategy.

4. Brand Valuation

We recognize value beyond your balance sheet, which includes market strength and contribution to overall business value.

5. Start-up Valuation

This applies to early-stage businesses because they lack years of financial history, and it considers growth potential and market size, and founder expertise.

6. Impairment Testing

To meet accounting standards like IFRS, we test assets for impairment to ensure reported values are accurate and defensible.

Before entering into any major deal like a sale, acquisition, partnership, or financing, you must be clearly aware of what’s really going on beneath the financial statements. That’s exactly what our financial due diligence services are designed to do: we help you move forward with eyes wide open.

Kreston ME Consulting offers expert financial due diligence support to buyers, sellers, investors, and lenders across the UAE and GCC. We bring together global-quality standards and deep regional insight to protect your interests at every stage of the deal.

What Is Financial Due Diligence?

Financial due diligence examines what an audit or internal reviews often overlook. While traditional audits check if financial statements follow standard rules, due diligence asks tougher questions:

• Are the revenue streams actually sustainable?
• Is the reported profit margin realistic?
• Are there hidden liabilities or tax exposures?
• Can the business generate healthy cash flow post-deal?

This process digs into the financial DNA of the company you are buying, investing in, or partnering with. It is about understanding the quality behind the numbers, not just accepting them at face value.

When Should You Consider Due Diligence Services?

If you are about to:

• Acquire a business
• Enter a joint venture
• Make a private equity investment
• Prepare your company for sale
• Secure financing
• Transition ownership in a family business

Financial due diligence is essential as it gives you the insight you need to move forward with certainty.

KMEC’s Approach to Due Diligence

Our financial due diligence process goes far beyond surface-level metrics. We break down the financials to understand how the business really operates, including where it's strong and where it’s vulnerable.

• Revenue Reliability

We assess where the money is coming from, whether it’s recurring, and if those streams are likely to continue post-transaction. A business built on unstable income isn’t one you want to buy blind.

• Earnings Quality (EBITDA)

We normalize EBITDA by removing non-operating items or one-time gains, so you see the exact ongoing performance.

• Working Capital Health

We assess how well your business manages its incoming and outgoing cash. This helps you understand whether the company can meet its day-to-day obligations after the deal is done.

• Debt & Liabilities

We look at the full debt profile, including off-balance-sheet items and contingent liabilities. The goal is to find hidden risks before they become your responsibility.

• Cash Flow Analysis

Revenue is one thing, and cash is another. We evaluate how much real, usable cash the business can generate, and whether it aligns with future growth or investment plans.

• Tax Exposure

We review tax filings, deferred liabilities, and potential compliance issues, as no one wants tax surprises after closing.

• Accounting Practices & Consistency

We verify whether the financials have been prepared using reliable methods and whether any adjustments have been made to present the business in a more favorable light than it actually is.

Why KMEC?

What sets us apart is not just what we do, but rather how we do it.

M&A advisory services Dubai help ambitious businesses grow and restructure by identifying the right opportunities and avoiding costly missteps. For buying, selling, merging, or divesting, our advisory team ensures you move forward with a clear strategy and well-grounded valuations.

Kreston ME Consulting (KMEC) supports business owners, investors, and corporate leaders through each stage of the transaction cycle, from strategy to post-deal integration. With deep experience across the GCC, we combine financial discipline and deal-making acumen to provide outcomes that hold up, not just on closing day, but years later as well.

What Is M&A Advisory?

M&A advisory is the process of guiding businesses through complex transactions such as acquisitions, mergers, divestitures, or the sale of ownership. It goes far beyond valuing a company or finding a buyer; it is about spotting the real opportunities and the risks that could quietly drain value.

Our job as advisors is to ask questions like:

• Are there hidden liabilities lurking beneath the headline numbers?
• Are the projected synergies actually achievable, or just optimistic theory?
• Is there a good cultural fit between the buyer and the seller?
• Is the regulatory environment fully understood?

By providing smart financial analysis, practical structuring advice, and transaction support, we help you make confident decisions that stand up to reality.

Why Do You Need M&A Advisory?

On paper, most deals look exciting: new markets, more revenue, access to the latest technology, or cost efficiencies. However, the reality is that a great-looking deal can quickly turn sour once hidden debts, mismatched expectations, operational clashes, or regulatory red tape become apparent. That is where we come in.

Our role is to:

• Perform rigorous financial, legal, and operational diligence
• Stress-test assumptions behind the deal value
• Design structures that balance opportunity and protection
• Ensure clarity across all stakeholders involved

What this really means is we look after your interests, remove ambiguity wherever possible, and help craft deals that create long-term value instead of just a short and sudden excitement.
