Our Services
Intangible Asset Portfolio Assessment
Are you overlooking components of your IP that could mean millions in valuation? Remember, more than 90% of your business’ value is derived from your intangible assets.
We’ll investigate…
Does your company have hidden value in your intangible assets?
Do we know which intangible assets positively impact your company’s performance?
Are we taking steps to adequately develop your intangible assets?
How we’ll help:
We’ll identify on- and off-balance sheet intangible assets and determine how these assets drive current and future economic and strategic value for your business.
This includes identifying all intellectual capital for the company, both IP (which can be legally protected, such as patents, copyrights, and trademarks) and other intangible assets (which are internally protected, such as trade secrets, data, and software - the list goes on).
Once these assets have been identified, we can make recommendations about how they should be managed and protected so that the assets can ultimately be included in the Saltare Enhanced Valuation and properly communicated to investors and buyers.
You’ll walk away with a clear understanding of your company assets (both tangible and intangible) and what they’re worth in the marketplace. You will understand how these assets will get you the best possible value for your company - whether you’re looking for funding or preparing to sell your business.
Risk Mitigation
Are you putting yourself and your business at unnecessary risk?
We’ll investigate…
Is your intellectual property secure?
Do you really own your brand?
With many of your employees working remotely, have you properly safeguarded your IP?
Has using open-source software created a liability?
Do you have the right employee protections and agreements in place to safeguard your intangibles?
How we’ll help:
After an IP Assessment has been performed, we’ll create a process for your company to manage and protect your assets, and detail proprietary assets in your company’s internal registry to establish a chain of ownership. Building your portfolio of intangible assets ensures legal and non-legal protection, both domestically and internationally.
You’ll walk away with ultimate peace of mind, knowing that the most valuable and profitable assets of the company have been protected from loss or misuse in the marketplace.
Enhanced Valuations
Have you received a valuation for your company that you’re simply not satisfied with?
We’ll investigate…
What is a fair price to pay for this company?
What are your intangible assets worth?
Have you communicated your intangible asset value to investors, potential buyers, and stakeholders?
Should you invest in (or purchase) this company?
Does your company have hidden value in its intangible assets?
How we’ll help:
We’ll combine a traditional financial analysis with an intangible asset valuation, creating a complete representation of the company’s asset value. We provide valuations that take into account the company’s highest-value assets - the intangibles. These assets are not typically included and are often overlooked in traditional valuations.
You’ll walk away with a realistic valuation that can be shared with funders and buyers. With your company’s full value unlocked, it is ready to tell its compelling story to the marketplace and to realize more favorable selling opportunities and funding options.
Funding Support
Are you seeking funding for your business, or buyers for your company, but unsure of where to look?
How we can help:
Due to our extensive network of business brokers, bankers, investment banks, angel and VC investors, and private equity sources, we can help match business owners' specific needs to the right advisor.
To support your efforts, we provide the Saltare Enhanced Valuation, which highlights the company's complete asset portfolio- including both tangible and intangible assets.
You’ll walk away with funds in your hands or your business sold or transferred to the right buyer(s) at the right price.
