LITIGATION SUPPORT
Patents and trademarks are well-known intangible assets. There are many other types of intangible assets. These include contracts, covenants-not-to-compete, leasehold interests, proprietary manufacturing processes and technology, goodwill, and many others.
We will work closely with the client's Legal Counsel, and Auditor or Accountant, to fashion the materials and testimony needed to to support the value conclusions for an asset or group of assets. This support can include the review of reports and materials prepared by others, and attendance and testimony in Court.
Valuation Consulting services provide client solutions that are not necessarily about representations of value intended for use by third parties, but are services centered upon providing client feedback on the prospective impact of management decisions upon the value of an entity, or equity interest. Such as, "Will the proposed changes in operations tend to increase or decrease equity value?".
INTANGIBLE ASSETS
The value of a Business Enterprise consists of the value of the total permanent capital of a firm. The total capital of a firm is comprised of debt capital and equity capital. EBITDA multiples can be used to estimate the value of the total capital, and then subtraction of the debt capital provides an indication of the value of the equity capital. The value estimate for the equity capital can also be derived directly, and added to the debt capital to provide an estimate of the value of the total permanent capital.
Equity Securities that are not Publicly-Traded are difficult to value because they have many characteristics that differ from public securites, and these differences must be addressed, particularly when the valuation analysis includes comparison to Publicly-Traded Securities. At Equity Analysts Incorporated, we pay particularly close attention to these differences between Closely-Held and Publicly-Traded, and the importance of these differences in the valuation process and valuation conclusions.
Other Equities represent ownership interests in partnerships, general partnership interests, limited partnership interests, preferred stock in closely-held firms, LLC interests, and the ownership of sole proprietorships.
