Financial valuation of intangible assets

For several decades now, intangible assets have become a cornerstone of business success. While their financial significance is widely acknowledged, they are often not properly valued due to the complexities involved. Accurate valuation requires a diverse range of skills, particularly in technology, intellectual property, finance, and statistics.

Because of this complexity, many companies shy away from performing a financial valuation. However, doing so can be pivotal in scenarios such as:

• Raising capital or securing financing;
• Calculating royalties or franchise fees;
• Mergers and acquisitions;
• Developing innovative products;
• Establishing partnerships or joint ventures

The forward-looking nature of financial valuations can sometimes create the perception that they are "arbitrary" or even "manipulable." However, employing recognized valuation methods and adhering to professional standards (such as RICS, IVS, ISO 10668, IFRS, etc.) ensures consistency and reliability in the results.
