Start + sustain

For early-stage companies and SMEs, understanding your intangible assets, their contribution to your business and revenue, and their potential for driving growth is crucial. Our experienced, commercially-focused team assists clients in unlocking the value of these assets, developing strategies to maximise their potential, and ensuring best practices are followed to keep them secure. We help you with:

  • Intangible asset / IP audit
  • Best practice and policy

Grow

For startups and SMEs it’s important to swiftly gain market exposure and traction. This tests market interest and is also vital for fundraising. We focus on the following factors to help our clients grow:

  • Business strategy
  • Competitive intelligence
  • Licensing and transactions
  • Innovation landscapes
  • Mergers and acquisitions
  • Portfolio management
Valuation

Valuing your intangible asset portfolio is crucial for understanding your company’s direction and identifying significant risks. We deliver detailed valuation reports, backed by comprehensive analysis of your business plan, financial projections, market analysis, and IP portfolio, along with benchmarking appropriate industry royalty rates.

Our team employs well-defined and recognised methodologies for fair market valuation of IP, including NPV calculations and discounted cash flows. We understand your business, industry, and the relevance of IP assets, using this knowledge to support strategic, business, and investment decisions. We ensure our clients comprehend the assumptions, methodologies, and risks involved, preparing them thoroughly for negotiations.

  • Valuation methodologies
  • Investment
  • Transaction and licensing
  • Administration and insolvency
  • Business support
Invest

As any founder or company executive knows, in order to grow and get your product to market and gain traction, you need significant capital investment. Having a strong and robust intangible asset portfolio will considerably enhance investor confidence and provide reassurance on potential return on investment. We can help you deliver this through:

  • Intellectual property (IP) valuations
  • Contract reviews
  • Royalties
  • Business plans
Intelligence

Competitive intelligence goes beyond gathering information about your competition or the market. It involves analysing this data and drawing conclusions to provide strategic insights into your competitors and the industry, as well as understanding your company’s position within this context. We support our clients in this process through various methods, including:

  • Market intelligence
