Our Process
At AMCO, we recognise that every client’s needs are unique, and our IP valuation process is meticulously tailored to meet the specific objectives and goals of each engagement.
​
Whether your focus is on business combinations, financial reporting, tax purposes, litigation, fundraising, strategic planning, liquidity events, or regulatory requirements, AMCO’s comprehensive approach ensures that you receive a valuation that is both accurate and strategically valuable.
Understanding your goals.
Our valuation process begins with gaining a deep understanding of your company, its business model, and its market environment. This includes:
​
Historical Context: We explore your company’s history, including key milestones, changes in ownership, major product or service developments, and significant events that have shaped your current market position and strategic direction.
​​
Business Model Analysis: We conduct a detailed analysis of your business model to understand revenue streams, cost structures, customer segments, and key activities. This helps us grasp the fundamental drivers of your company’s value.
​
​
​
In-Depth Management Discussions
We believe that qualitative insights are as crucial as quantitative data. AMCO engages in detailed discussions with your management team to capture the strategic vision, competitive advantages, and market conditions that influence your company’s future.
​
These conversations help clarify historical financial performance, validate management’s expectations, and align our valuation with the realities of your business.
Sector and Industry Expertise
AMCO’s valuation process is enriched by a deep understanding of the sector and industry in which your company operates. We gather insights into market trends, competitive dynamics, regulatory changes, and economic conditions to validate the assumptions and forecasts used in our valuation.
This industry knowledge is crucial for providing a realistic and market-aligned valuation.
