Who you are

Investor & Acquirer

You are about to buy into it. Does the company own what the deck says?

Diligence on intangibles is usually the thinnest part of a deal, and the most expensive to get wrong. We verify what the target actually holds against the registers, find what was never assigned, and tell you which gaps are pricing issues and which are deal issues.

Why businesses like yours call us

  • The deck claims IP the register does not show — verification against official records
  • Unassigned work sits inside the cap table — founders, contractors, agencies
  • You need it priced, not just listed — valuation with the method and reasoning shown

Where to start

  • Entry product — IP Position Audit
  • One firm throughout — you are not handed to another firm at the next rung.
Fee — scoped to your business, quoted in writing before you commit. No rate card, no hourly meter: the number you agree to is the number you pay.
