How does the Asset Valuator in Opagio Intangibles work?

Full Explanation

The Asset Valuator in Opagio Intangibles is designed to make intangible asset valuation more accessible to companies that have historically found traditional valuation services out of reach. It values one intangible asset at a time.

You start from an asset, usually one already on your Value Drivers Register, and choose a method from seven: Relief from Royalty, MPEEM, With and Without, Replacement Cost, Cost Approach, Greenfield and Market Approach. For each asset type the Asset Valuator shows the methods available and marks a recommended one. Typical choices are Relief from Royalty for brand assets, the Multi-Period Excess Earnings approach for customer relationships, and the Cost Approach or Relief from Royalty for technology assets, depending on their characteristics.

You then enter the inputs the method needs, such as the royalty rate, attrition rate, discount rate and projected revenue. These are your assumptions: Opagio does not supply them. The form can pre-fill from your organisation's revenue figures or from the asset's last saved valuation.

The result is a fair value estimate that names the method used, with your assumptions restated in plain language. For Relief from Royalty, MPEEM, Replacement Cost and With and Without, a sensitivity table also shows how the value changes when two key assumptions move. The calculation is deterministic, so the same inputs always give the same result. You can save a result as a scenario and compare saved scenarios side by side. The output can support internal planning, investor presentations and board reporting, and can be a starting point for any formal valuation required in M&A or financial reporting. Opagio is not a valuer, and the output is not a signed valuation or a valuation of record.
