Intangible Assets 101: Driving success, failure, and higher valuations

Today, Intangible Assets (such as data, brand, content, confidential information, design, inventions, know how, relationships and industry expertise) account for more than 90% of all value for companies in the S&P500 – and the same is also true for most small to medium enterprises, with this figure typically being even higher for early stage and technology ventures.

Yet these critical assets are typically off-balance sheet and are essentially ignored due to a quirk in modern accounting standards. This has led to a situation where many companies do not understand how to maximise the potential of these assets. For small to medium enterprises looking to scale, an understanding of how to leverage your Intangible Assets can accelerate growth and help drive increased profitability and greater margins.
