Financial Modeling and Market Research
Analysis that tells a story
Best-in-class models and research, developed by an experienced and accredited team.
Most financial models and market analyses are problematic, particularly in IP financial services, where corner-cutting and improper methodologies are common. Our models are grounded in sound theory and enriched with compelling narratives. All our analysts are highly proficient in Excel and other data tools, with most holding the Advanced Financial Modeler (AFM) designation, earned through a rigorous examination of modeling expertise. We use top-tier, reliable market data and validate our inputs through reasonableness checks and cross-referencing to ensure accuracy and credibility.

These models provide clear insights as to when clients can expect returns on their investments and the impact of various terms in their agreements. Our waterfall models can incorporate features such as break-even points, time value of money, expense forecasting, sensitivity to assumptions, and complex contract terms.

Proven Track Record
Case Studies
Facilitate Better Results with Market Research
A large private investment firm was achieving success in their primary markets and sought to explore additional opportunities in new sectors. FIN IP Group conducted a comprehensive market analysis and created a dynamic model to identify promising regions and industries. This analysis enabled the firm to strategically focus their patent prosecution and purchasing efforts, as well as make informed staffing decisions to capitalize on these new opportunities.
Augment Internal Models
A public technology firm approached FIN IP Group with a licensing model developed by another financial service provider. Despite being central to their strategy, the model lacked appropriate methodology and clarity, making it ineffective as a communication tool. FIN IP Group overhauled the model by redesigning its layout, introducing better theory, and following best practices. In a short timeframe, FIN IP Group provided an improved multiple with better data, flexibility, and various approaches. The revamped model enabled the firm to refine their licensing strategy and pursue new deals.
Uncover Value
A global patent licensing firm struggled to find data to support their efforts in the virtual conferencing market, as many licensees were large companies that didn’t separate conferencing revenue. FIN IP Group created clear models for different licensees, using direct data and market research to capture all value. These models helped the firm understand licensees’ businesses and start initial pricing discussions.
