Financial Assessment of Intangible Assets
The financial valuation of intangible assets is required in different strategic contexts (mergers – acquisitions, divestitures, partnerships), accounting, legal and tax matters.
Our expertise in this field consists in identifying the intangible assets separable from goodwill (brands, technologies, customer base, etc.) in the application of the accounting standards.
Our approach enables us to estimate intangible assets and intellectual property rights such as brands, trademarks, patents, know-how, processes, software, digital solutions…
We also realize independent valuations of corporations’ activities to test the goodwill (“impairment tests”).
To understand the economic reality of your intangible assets, we can estimate the royalty rate a licensee may pay.
Finally, in the context of M&A transactions, we can measure the strategic and financial value of a trademark, patent, contract, license, goodwill, or other assets.
Methodology
The applicable methods are numerous and their relevance depends on the context and the information available in this context. There are three common approaches:
— Cost approach
— Market approach
— Income approach
In addition to economic data, our study is based on a thorough analysis of the assets to be valued, to determine, at least qualitatively, its strengths and weaknesses.
Thanks to our multidisciplinary team, we deal with the following aspects :
— Legal matters
validity, quality and scope of protection
— Technical matters
nature of the innovation, its position in the state of the art, validation of the development potential
— Economic and financial
analysis of accounting and main ratios to select the appropriate valuation parameters
— Marketing matters
positioning, development plan, communication, brand image
Business valuation
Considering the strong globalization trend, governments have strengthened their legislation to ensure that financial markets are more secure in the completeness and fairness of financial statements.
Our job as evaluators is primarily to help entrepreneurs to estimate the value their company created.
Therefor, our approach is :
— Comprehensive view
To thoroughly acknowledge the company’s mechanisms,
— Understanding the operation
To understand the internal operations of the latter
— Studying appropriate indicators
To study financial and / or accounting indicators
— Potential and long term view
Appreciate the company’s potential development by identifying and valuing its intangible capital in all aspects (human capital, relational capital, structural capital) and integrating innovative assets with short-, medium- or long-term development potential.
