Valustrat

What Valustrat does

ValuStrat is an international consulting group founded in 1977 and headquartered in Dubai, UAE, with offices in Abu Dhabi, London, Riyadh, Jeddah, Doha and Karachi. It provides Strategic Advisory, Valuations, Due Diligence, Research, Transaction Advisory and Industrial Consulting services to corporates, financial institutions, real estate developers, government entities and family offices across the EMEA region. Its regulated credentials include RICS-regulated firm status, TAQEEM compliance in Saudi Arabia, FIABCI membership, and first RICS Tech Partner designation in MEA and Asia.

The technical core of the firm is the proprietary ValuStrat Price Index (VPI), a valuation-grounded real-estate intelligence platform that tracks residential, commercial and industrial price movements across Dubai, Abu Dhabi, Ras Al Khaimah and Qatar, supported by proprietary Customer Profile Validation (CPV) and Field Verification (FV) technology used by banks for lending decisions. A complementary proprietary offering is the Online Business Valuation platform launched in the US market in December 2025, which delivers investor-grade business valuation reports at $6,000 per report within 10 days. Bespoke market research is distributed through an online report shop, and an industrial-asset divestment joint venture with Hilco extends the firm into fixed-asset advisory.

The business model is predominantly professional-services fee-for-engagement across valuation, advisory, due diligence and transaction mandates (with M&A deal sizes ranging from $6M to $200M+ on disclosed listings), supplemented by subscription/recurring revenue from research reports and the Online Business Valuation platform. Senior-led enterprise engagement and thought-leadership marketing (research publications, media appearances in Bloomberg/Reuters/CNBC/FT, industry awards) drive top-of-funnel demand. The firm owns no external funding, operates across multiple entities including a DIFC-registered ValuStrat Capital for transactions, and ranks among the most established valuation-focused advisory groups in the Middle East.
