Many UK small businesses are IP rich but asset poor.
You may have a great business, methodology, brand, creative work or years of valuable know-how.
But that doesn't automatically make it easy to get a bank loan or investment.
Why?
Banks and investors don't fund good ideas alone. They fund something they can understand, measure and see a return from.
The challenge is to turn your IP into something commercial:
1️⃣ Knowledge → Training & Courses
2️⃣ Methodology → Licensing & Certification
3️⃣ Business System → Franchise
4️⃣ Creative Work → Licensing & Royalties
5️⃣ Brand/Community → Events & Memberships
6️⃣ Solutions → Software & Subscriptions
7️⃣ Professional Systems → Practitioner Networks
A coach with a great methodology is one thing.
A coach with 30 licensees paying every month is a very different proposition.
The same applies to consultants, designers, photographers, artists and other service businesses.
To access money for growth, you need to translate the value of your business into the language banks and investors understand.
