Intangible Asset Valuation
Where is your company’s value ?
According to US studies, 84% of company values can’t be found in their financial statements bur rather reside in their intangible assets. That means that lacking specific valuation, owners, bankers and stakeholders don’t get most of the corporate values. Why would it be different in European SMEs ? It isn’t and that’s daily reality.
Therefore the value of your company looks like an iceberg: you can only see a small part of it, most of it is hidden.
Most know intangible assets include brands, patents, client or supplier’s distributorship, database… and so many others.
They can be valued according to specific approaches, as one doesn’t value a factory, offices or inventories like the potential of a team or software. Such valuation occur for various reasons: funding group transfer, external disposal…
If you see your business in such a situation, it’s probably time whether it contains hidden intangible assets or not.
