Intangible asset assessment

We are available to help companies determine the economic value of an intangible asset for the purposes of exceptional transactions, such as mergers, acquisitions, contribution of a business unit to a Newco, or the acquisition or sale of an intangible asset from or to a third party.

What we do

We have developed a 3 step method for valuing intangible assets: ​

     1. Data collection and analysis

  • Collection and analysis of all quality-related, accounting, technical, forecast, and documentary information (e.g. business plans, past studies) which may be useful in determining the value of intangible assets (patents, know-how, trademarks, software).
  • Analysis of the measures adopted by the company for the legal protection of its assets.
  • Identification and assessment of the technical and financial parameters of the asset for which the appraisal report is being prepared and of the company which owns the asset. ​

     2. Identification of the assessment method

  • Identification and choice of assessment method based on real cases.
  • Quality analysis of the main technical and economic factors concerning the intangible assets to examine.
  • Application of joint calculation methods to determine the economic value of the asset(s) according to the market within which the company operates.

     3. Preparation of the documental output

  • Preparation of an appraisal report for the intangible assets.

Results

  • Conscious management of the company's intangible assets for the purposes of exceptional transactions.
