For Companies Preparing to Raise, Sell, or Be Acquired

Companies are valued on what they earn and what they own. We prepare both.

Most companies walk into a raise or a sale with prepared financials and undocumented assets. Muniment Group readies both sides of your value: the numbers investors test, and the intangible assets they should be paying for.

muniment/ˈmyo͞onəmənt/
noun · law
A document kept as evidence of ownership, rights, or privileges; a muniment of title.

What We Do

Three engagements. One outcome: deal-ready.

Every engagement is scoped up front and quoted as a fixed fee before work begins.

The IP Value Audit

Structured discovery interviews decompose your product into functional verticals and surface what is hiding inside: trade secrets, patentable inventions, data assets, and brand. Every asset named, cataloged in an IP Asset Register, mapped to the categories valuation professionals credit, and paired with a protection playbook.

Fixed Fee · Three Tiers

Financial Readiness

Before a buyer's quality-of-earnings team arrives, your numbers should already tell a clean story. We normalize the financials, prepare the adjustments narrative, organize the data room, and surface the issues diligence would otherwise find for the other side.

Fixed Fee · CM&AA-Led

Exit & Raise Positioning

The combined product: assets documented, financials prepared, and a positioning narrative that puts both in front of investors or acquirers on your terms. For qualifying private-company sales, engagement may continue through the transaction itself.

Results

Documentation that counted

$50MM

A cybersecurity company engaged our founder for IP discovery. Interviews surfaced and documented the platform's trade secrets, patentable features, and trademarks, delivered with a protection playbook. The company used that documentation with a valuation firm to support a $50MM valuation. Nothing new was invented. The assets became identified, owned, and protected, which is what made them count.

$26.5M

Our founder brought Nomi Health's $26.5 million acquisition of Everyone Health and Sano Surgery to closing, a transaction that expanded a direct-contracting network to nearly 6,000 medical facilities across 48 states. Transaction readiness is not theory here. It is deal-table experience.

Founder

John Behles

Engineer, inventor, and Certified Merger & Acquisition Advisor. John has spent more than two decades reading technology and the deals built on it: he has taken his own medical devices from concept to prototype to patent to license, brought a $26.5M healthcare acquisition to closing, and built the IP discovery process whose documentation supported a $50MM valuation. He is also, separately, a registered U.S. patent attorney and the principal of Lexigent, LLC; legal services are engaged only through that firm, as described in the disclosures below. Muniment Group is the advisory side of that experience: one advisor who reads the technology, the ownership position, and the deal.
