Kelvin King is an IP valuation expert of some experience.  He has been valuing intangible assets for around 40 years and is one of the foremost experts in the world.  

In this episode of Where's the Exit, I ask Kelvin about 

• What is IP valuation?
• Why should SMEs be bothered with it?
• How do we go about valuing IP?
• Does the valuation depend on who it’s for? 

If you want to talk more about any of the points raised in the podcast then you can contact me via LinkedIn and I'll put you in touch with Kelvin, or you can contact him directly through LinkedIn or the website for his business, Valuation Consulting.
