In terms of our business, we see IP as our most important asset. So when our NatWest Relationship Manager, Andy Edwards, mentioned the new IP backed loan, we did snap his hand off! We are expecting to expand our IP asset base significantly in the next 12 months, and I would expect to be coming back in and leveraging the value of our IP further.

HSBC wanted various due diligence checks, one of which was to use Inngot’s tools to value our IP to give them comfort. Using these tools avoided a long, complex, and expensive bespoke valuation. The process was quick, easy, and cost effective compared to alternatives, it satisfied HSBC, and it got us our money.
