What?

Comprehensive Technology and Company Valuation - Delivering a detailed analysis of the financial, strategic, and market value of the technology and company.

Why?

To provide companies with actionable insights into the real-world value and commercialization potential of their technologies. These valuations will form the foundation for informed strategic decisions.

When preparing for discussions with investors, it is critical to present a holistic view of your company’s value. For tech companies, the majority of value lies in unique know-how and technology—intellectual property is often your most significant asset. However, patents alone do not define your company’s worth; they must be evaluated alongside several other key components:

1. Patent value: Assessing legal strength, technical merit, economic potential, and market relevance.

2. Company history: Demonstrating stability, experience, and credibility in the industry.

3. Team expertise: Highlighting key personnel's know-how beyond the patent itself—critical for execution.

4. Operational know-how: Proprietary processes or methodologies that complement your IP.

5. Client base: Established relationships that validate market demand.

6. Sales and sale pipeline: Future revenue opportunities showcasing growth potential.

7. Integration and potential in the value chain: Strategic positioning within the industry ecosystem.

8. Revenues and forecasts: Current performance metrics that substantiate financial viability.

Together, these elements form a comprehensive picture of your company’s valuation and serve as a foundation for credible investor discussions.

How?

UNICO conducts its service offer in four phases. First an initial workshop to understand the unique attributes of each technology, their applications, and the client's objectives. Then an in-depth desk review and consultations with experts will help flesh out the final valuation before it is vetted by and presented to the client.

Phase 1: Initial Workshop

A workshop to gain a thorough understanding of the technologies, their value propositions, and client's goals. This step identifies key areas for valuation considerations.

Phase 2: Early Case Assessment

An initial assessment of the value is conducted based on:

• Market potential and trends.

• Business validation through discussion with relevant independent experts.

• Comparable intellectual property considerations.

• Strategic positioning within the value chain.

• Sales and financial metrics.

• Relevant discount and risk factors.

This provides the client with a preliminary understanding of their technology's business potential.

Phase 3: Draft Valuation Reports

Draft reports are delivered for client review and verification. These include estimated financial values alongside strategic insights into market opportunities and challenges for each technology.

Phase 4: Final Deliverables

We present a finalized valuation report tailored to findings from the valuation.
