Breakfast Meeting – The Exit Planner’s Guide to Increasing Corporate Value: How to become an intangible capitalist – September 30, 2010
Click here to view the PowerPoint Presentation from this event.
Today, roughly 75% of the value of the average private business is intangible—invisible in financial statements and not well understood, even by those inside the organization. Exit Planners, like their clients, are handicapped by their business education and tools, which were optimized for the factories of the industrial era. To maximize the value of a business, you need new tools that focus on intangibles.
What does Intangible Capital mean to the advisors of business owners?
- Corporate and M&A Attorneys have new challenges when documenting and protecting their clients.
- Consultants focus on value for clients need the tools to zero in on and improve performance and corporate value.
- Investment Bankers and Business Brokers want to present their clients in the best light possible so they must understand and explain the key intangibles driving corporate value to potential partners and acquirers.
- Financial Advisors who want to better understand their client’s business need to gain a whole new vocabulary around the strength and sustainability of the business and why.
- CPAs need to embrace these new concepts to help plan for, track and measure investments and returns on intangible capital.
