Clients often use IP valuation services such as patent valuations for various reasons. This includes financial reporting, transactions, tax purposes, litigation, and asset management. Valuing intangible assets can help clients comply with regulatory requirements, determine fair prices for assets in transactions, report taxes accurately, resolve legal disputes, and make informed decisions about how to allocate resources.
To address the subjectivity and lack of comparables that can arise in valuing IP, we use robust and defensible inputs. We also draw our extensive experience and expertise in valuing intangible assets across a wide range of industries and sectors.
Our experienced team consists of Chartered Accountants and Registered Business Valuers. Most of our team have extensive experience at Big 4 accounting firms in disciplines such as auditing, taxation and restructuring. This experience means our intangible asset and intellectual property valuation services are backed by practical experience, and strong technical rigour.
Our Process
To ensure the most accuracy, our intangible assets valuation methods are tailored in consideration of the unique nature, its industry, risks, stakeholders, purpose of valuation, financial performance and market conditions.
Our typical process is outlined below:
1. Initial no-cost review
We commence by reviewing information regarding the intangible asset to the extent that this is available. In doing so, we will often review documents such as financial statements, licence agreements and samples of the intangible assets. This review allows us to make an early determination of the nature of investigations we will need to undertake, as well as to understand the technical approaches required in the intangible asset valuation.
2. Confirm scope of engagement and advise professional fees
Following the conduct of our initial review, we will advise you of our professional fees to undertake a valuation and the scope of our engagement.
3. Data and information request
We prepare a thorough information and data request schedule to enable an accurate valuation of your intangible asset. This data request is typically tailored to lessen the stress and the pressure involved when our clients gather their data.
4. Initial data and information review
We review the data and information provided in response to our information and data request schedule. We then conduct technical analysis, and consider any additional data or information required for the completion of our valuation services.
5. Preparation of a valuation report
We will present you with a report which provides a value of the intangible asset. This report provides a comprehensive explanation and reasoning for the selection of our specific valuation methods, and our calculation of value derived from the valuation method.
6. Meetings with you and your advisors
We typically conduct regular meetings with you and your other professional advisors, such as your accountants and lawyers. This is to provide time-sensitive advice regarding the nature of the valuation and our work. We are committed to maintaining ongoing communication and engagement with our clients.
