Unlock the Potential of Your Company's Trademark Assets
More and more in recent years, companies have been seeking to unlock the monetary value of their trademarks, trade names and patents ("Trademark Assets") without selling them.
IDB Bank's more than 40 years of experience in a wide variety of industries gives us the extra edge necessary to understand how best to monetize the implicit value of these assets and how to help best put that value to work for you.
Industries covered include:
- Apparel and Accessories
- Food
- Home Furnishings
- Beauty Products
- Diamond & Jewelery
- Media & Entertainment
- Sports Teams
- Beverages
- Giftware
Benefits of Monetization of Trademark Assets:
- Make distributions to principals/shareholders (either to themselves - to provide return on investment - or to buy out minority owners)
- Finance an ESOP transaction that gives capital to the principals and may give the company certain tax advantages*
- Finance future acquisitions while increasing the return on equity via increased leverage
- General liquidity for future organic growth that cannot be supported by traditional capital without diluting ownership
- Generate liquidity to support working capital needs in times of financial weakness in certain segments of a company's business
*Please consult with your tax advisor for potential tax benefits.
Types of Financing:
- Working Capital
- Acquisition
