The allocation of value to a particular intangible asset is not as straightforward as it may seem. The valuation of intangible assets requires a certain mindset to understand how qualitative data relates to quantitative output.

We apply a holistic view in order to grasp fully the setting in which the intangible asset resides, and how it relates to other business value-drivers.

We distil complex input data to produce clear and justifiable results.

Through our experience with hundreds of valuations across a broad cross-section of industries we know how to recognize the hidden value of patents, brands, copyrights, trade secrets and customer relationships, amongst others.

We comply with stringent ethical standards assuring the highest quality level. Since 2003 we have conducted hundreds of valuations for multinationals, corporates and large family owned businesses in a confidential and secure manner. Due to our reputation we are often asked to appear in court cases as expert witness.

Our partner, Steven van Wijk, is a RICS (Royal Institution of Chartered Surveyors), Registered Valuer and Director of the Dutch Registered Valuator Institute.
