What is Opagio Intangibles and who is it for?

Full Explanation

Opagio Intangibles addresses a fundamental gap in business management: while intangible assets now represent over 90% of S&P 500 company value, most businesses — particularly SMEs — have no systematic way to identify, measure, or manage these assets. Traditional accounting treats most intangible investments as expenses, making them invisible on the balance sheet. Opagio Intangibles makes them visible, valued, and actionable.

The product serves three primary audiences. For company founders and management teams, it provides tools to identify their intangible assets across Opagio 12, value each one at the asset level, benchmark against industry peers, and develop strategies to build intangible value systematically.

For investors and fund managers, Opagio Intangibles enables intangible asset due diligence on potential investments, portfolio-level intangible asset tracking, benchmarking across portfolio companies, and identification of value creation opportunities. Private equity firms use it to develop intangible-focused value creation plans that drive higher exit multiples.

For professional advisors (accountants, valuers, M&A consultants), Opagio Intangibles provides efficient tooling for purchase price allocation analysis, intangible asset identification in M&A transactions, client reporting on intangible asset positions, and support for formal valuation engagements.

Core modules include the Asset Valuator (Relief from Royalty, Multi-Period Excess Earnings, With & Without, Replacement Cost), Growth Plan (bottom-up forecasting), the Value Drivers Register across Opagio 12, Normalised P&L, Intelligence, and Growth Accounting. Opagio Intangibles is built on established valuation standards (IFRS 3, ASC 805, IAS 38, IVS) and continuously updated with current market data and benchmarks.
