What is Your IP Worth? Licensing. vs Selling: 7:45 - 9:15
How do you know how much your intellectual property is worth? Should you license it or sell? If you are selling it, what is a good deal?
Being able to value your IP allows you to determine an exit strategy, provides leverage in investor negotiations, in the event of an acquisition or when one of the equity stakeholders leaves.
In this Workshop we will cover:
1. What is IP and how is it accounted for on the Balance Sheet?
2. When is it important to know what your Intangible Assets are worth?
3. Three valuation approaches:
A. The Cost Approach - based on the direct (e.g. equipment) and indirect (e.g. labor) costs incurred in creating an asset
B. The Market Approach - based on comparables
C. The Income Approach - based on the income an asset is expected to generate
We will discuss circumstances which will warrant using one approach over another, how each approach works and do a case study for each.
Finally, we will cover under which circumstances one can capitalize software development costs as an asset on the balance sheet.
