Since Victorian times, asset backed finance has helped to fuel the growth of UK companies. However, 21st century businesses have different needs, and produce value in new ways, often by using innovation and intellectual property (IP) - focused on intangible rather than tangible assets.

This fundamental shift necessitates innovative approaches to security for funding. Intellectual asset finance provides the best possible protection against intentional default, and the prospect of asset value appreciation.

Inngot provides the structure this emerging market needs. By pinpointing all the relevant intellectual assets, and 'commodifying' them through registration, Inngot makes it possible to use the most important assets a business owns as security for lending. And once intellectual asset finance is in place, Inngot will monitor your interest and put other people on notice of it.

Intellectual property (IP) is a key factor in any investment decision. Originators need to demonstrate the breadth and depth of what they own: investors need to understand what the IP can do and the capabilities that exist to monetise it. Most of all, both parties need to reach an agreement on value in order for a deal to proceed.

As well as defining and explaining all an organisation's intellectual assets, not just those that are officially registered, Inngot's Sollomon valuation provides a standardised, consistent valuation methodology to support innovation investment. It itemises the intellectual assets that are available for finance, summarises their historical and anticipated incomes and addresses key ownership aspects - helping you understand the opportunity immediately.

Inngot is an opportunity pipeline, a monitoring tool, a notice mechanism, a valuation methodology and a disposal route - all rolled into one. Pretty soon, you may find yourself wondering what innovation investment was like before Inngot.
