Over 90% of company value is now intangible — and your balance sheet shows almost none of it
In 1975, most of a company’s worth sat in buildings, equipment and inventory. Today it sits in brand, customers, data and intellectual property — the assets traditional accounting was never built to recognise. For a founder heading into a round, that gap is the difference between the number you defend and the number you settle for.

Brand, customers, technology, data, people, culture and six more. The Opagio 12 is our taxonomy of the intangible value drivers that traditional accounting can’t see — each mapped to the CHS framework, IFRS 3 and the Six Capitals model.
Protect it, borrow against it, or license it
Patents, trade marks and proprietary software are not just legal protections — they are balance-sheet assets you can put to work. An independent, investor-grade valuation is the entry ticket to all three.
Protect it
Identify and value every intangible across The Opagio 12, then map what lenders and acquirers will actually recognise — an independent audit shows you what it is worth.

Raise non-dilutive growth capital secured on your independently valued IP — £250K to £10M, no equity given up. An independent valuation is the entry ticket.

Turn your IP into a royalty stream. The Relief from Royalty method values what others would pay to use what you own — model it in the Valuator before you negotiate.

Patents and trade marks are the intangibles you can register. But the assets that most often justify a higher valuation — your brand, your customer relationships, your data, your people and your network — rarely appear in any register at all. The Opagio 12 names the full spectrum.

Common questions from founders heading into a round
The things founders ask before they put a number in front of investors.
How is this different from the valuation my accountant gives me?
Your accountant values what accounting standards recognise — typically only 20 to 40% of your intangible value. Opagio names and values the full Opagio 12 spectrum, including the brand, customers and data investors price in but the accounts leave out.
I am early-stage with little revenue — does this still apply?
Especially then. Before the numbers are large, your intangibles — team, technology, brand and early traction — are most of what an investor is buying. Naming and valuing them is how you justify a number a thin P&L cannot. Explore The Opagio 12.
Will investors actually accept an Opagio valuation?
Each asset is valued using recognised IVS methods, and every figure traces back to source — so it reads as evidence in diligence rather than a founder’s estimate. You take the workings into the data room.
How long does it take to get a number?
Start free in about ten minutes with the assessment. The full Value Drivers Register then builds from your own data as you connect it, so the picture deepens without starting from a blank page.
