Valuations
Business founders and leaders build businesses and products to build value. However, recognizing such value, especially intellectual property, behind products and services is not an automatic task. Knowing the economic value and importance of an assets’ intellectual property rights assists in the strategic decisions to be taken on the assets. Such knowledge can support decisions relating to growth strategies, divesting of assets, mergers & acquisitions, financing and tax planning.
Valuations are an art just as much as a science. A comprehensive valuation report requires a deep understanding of the industry fundamentals within which the business operates and of the company or product being valued. Drawing from our multi-disciplinary team and expertise, we are able to offer a holistic approach to company and product valuations. We are particularly strong in Intellectual Property.
