Brand & Intellectual Property

Acquiring brands out of restructuring, running the licensing programme afterwards, and valuing intangible assets for lenders who need to underwrite them.

74Brands under licence today

A brand that stops trading does not stop being known. The customer memory outlives the balance sheet by a decade, and that memory is a licensable asset if somebody takes custody of it in time.

We buy marks, place them with operators who can actually make and sell the product, and run the royalty programme. Occasionally we simply lend against them and let the owner keep going.

Typical recovery range

Share of net orderly liquidation value

National consumer brands. Recognition without distribution is half an asset.

Illustrative ranges drawn from completed transactions. Every engagement is appraised on its own facts — these are the bands we argue from, not a quote.
