COMING TO LONDON | The Value of IP: Raising Capital with Patents As Collateral
September 05, 2023
“Companies that master the deployment of intangibles investment will be well positioned to outperform their peers”. -McKinsey & Company
On a global scale, there has been a consistent increase in the allocation of resources towards intangible assets, such as intellectual property, research, technology, and software. Regardless of the industry, companies that prioritize higher investments in intangibles witness a remarkable revenue growth rate that is 6.7 times faster.
As a result of the ubiquitous adoption of technology, asset-based lenders are recognizing the value of intellectual property and utilizing IP portfolios as collateral to secure loans. This provides businesses with a new source of capital, enabling them to harness the value of their IP to access funding.
Join us to explore this new avenue of raising capital and learn more about the necessary requirements to use intangible assets as loan collateral. We’ll discuss how to make the most of your IP portfolio and the potential opportunities it can offer.
