TESTIMONIALS
Frequently Asked Questions
What services does Finval Research & Consultancy provide?
Finval specializes in Valuation, Fundraising Support, Financial Modelling, Pitch Deck Creation, Transaction Advisory, Due Diligence, and Virtual CFO services. We work with startups, SMEs, and growth-stage companies across various sectors.
How does Finval help startups in fundraising?
We support founders end-to-end by preparing investment-ready pitch decks and financial models, conducting valuation analyses, identifying and reaching out to relevant investors, preparing data rooms, and assisting with negotiations and deal closure. Our goal is to help founders raise capital faster and more confidently.
What makes Finval different from other consulting firms?
Finval offers a highly customized and founder-centric approach with no templates. We bring deep financial expertise across valuation and transaction advisory, have experience supporting Seed to Series A fundraising, maintain a strong network of investors and VCs, provide transparent pricing with no hidden charges, and ensure that all deliverables are reviewed by senior partners.
Who are your typical clients?
We work with growth stage startups in Pre-series A to Series B, growing SMEs, family businesses, investors and VC-backed companies, as well as corporates requiring independent valuation.
How long does a valuation or financial model usually take?
Depending on project complexity, a valuation report typically takes 5 to 7 working days, a financial model requires 10 to 15 working days, and a pitch deck is usually completed within 10 to 15 working days. We also offer urgent and priority delivery options.
What documents do you require to get started?
We generally request the last two to three years of financial statements, basic company and operational information, revenue and cost assumptions, and a business plan if available. If certain documents are missing, we assist founders in refining assumptions and building clarity.
Do you work with overseas valuation, audit and CFO firms?
Yes. We work as an extension of valuation, audit and fractional-CFO firms outside India, preparing financial models, research and valuation workpapers for their review and sign-off. Every engagement is covered by a non-disclosure agreement.
Do you guarantee fundraising?
No advisory firm can guarantee funding, as outcomes depend on investor interest, traction, financial performance, and market conditions. However, we significantly strengthen the chances of success by providing high-quality documentation, strategic clarity, and warm investor outreach.
Are your reports and models accepted by investors?
Our financial models, valuations and pitch decks are built on widely used valuation and modelling methods and are reviewed by senior team members before delivery. Clients have used them in their fundraising rounds. Whether an investor accepts a valuation is the investor’s decision, so we cannot promise a particular outcome.
How do you ensure confidentiality?
We sign a Non-Disclosure Agreement (NDA) with every client, ensuring that all documents, financial information, and business data remain fully confidential.
Can you work with companies outside India?
Yes. We work with founders, CFOs and investors in the US, Europe, the Middle East and Africa as well as India, through virtual meetings, secure data rooms and online delivery. Where local law reserves work for a locally licensed professional, that professional signs it and we support them.
What are your pricing models?
We offer fixed project-based pricing for valuation reports, pitch decks, and financial models, as well as monthly retainer pricing for Virtual CFO services and ongoing advisory. For fund raising and M&A advisory, we have a combination of fixed plus success based pricing. We also provide customized packages based on specific requirements, and our pricing is completely transparent.
Do you help with investor meetings and negotiations?
Yes. We help founders prepare for investor meetings, organize their data room, review term sheets, and support valuation and negotiation discussions. We act as an extended finance team throughout the fundraising process.
Which valuation standards do you follow?
Our valuations follow the International Valuation Standards (IVS) issued by the International Valuation Standards Council. We use the income, market and cost approaches as suited to the purpose of each valuation. Where Indian law prescribes a specific method, such as the income-tax formula for unquoted equity shares, we apply that method.
