How much is your technology or company worth?
Technology valuation is an important part of deal negotiation. Independent technology valuations provide an objective, third party view on value when negotiating licences, alliances and other transactions and help to prevent deadlock over financial terms. Such valuations are important components of prospectuses and information memoranda.
While accountants can value products and businesses with a trading history, valuation of a new technology needs technical expertise and deep knowledge of technology and product development. Innovation Dynamics' technical experts can put a value on your technology based on accepted industry metrics, comparables and development risks.
Expert reports
Investors gain confidence when an independent expert has assessed a new technology or product against its current or emerging competitors and has commented on its competitive merits. Our experts can prepare such independent reports, helping potential shareholders and interested parties to make an effective, informed investment decision. In Australia, life sciences companies whose prospectuses have included an independent report prepared by a reputable advisory firm have raised more capital on listing, on average, than those that did not have such a report.*

Is acquisition in the best interests of your stakeholders?
Innovation Dynamics' industry specialists also provide advice as to whether a takeover offer or merger proposal is fair and reasonable. After considering all significant factors, we will report on whether an offer is fair and/or reasonable, as described under ASIC regulations, and if it is in the best interests of shareholders to accept the proposal.
Prepare yourself for financing
Investors and funding agencies may be approached by organisations that have not fully considered their investment needs or their level of preparedness. Innovation Dynamics can help make your company "investor ready" by ensuring that your offer documents have the right level of market, commercial and technical detail. We can also advise on sources of non-diluting funds and help you to prepare an appropriate "pitch" for different audiences. Innovation Dynamics' experienced staff can maximise your chances of receiving the right investment, in the timeframe you require. Innovation Dynamics' staff have been accredited as a business matching service provider under the Australian Small Scale Offerings Board.
