About Saltare

Saltare Solutions operates as an advisory firm focused on assisting business owners in unlocking and extracting value from their intangible assets. The firm recognizes that a significant portion of a company's value—estimated at 90% for S&P 500 companies—is derived from assets not typically found on a balance sheet, such as intellectual property, brand reputation, and customer loyalty. Consequently, Saltare provides specialized services to privately-owned companies aiming to raise capital, sell their business, or improve their return on investment.

The company's core services revolve around identifying, managing, protecting, and valuing these intangible assets. Their proprietary process includes an Intangible Asset Portfolio Assessment, which uncovers both on- and off-balance-sheet assets to determine their impact on economic and strategic value. Following this, Saltare offers risk mitigation to protect these assets and provides an 'Enhanced Valuation' that combines traditional financial analysis with a comprehensive evaluation of intangibles. This approach aims to present a more complete and favorable picture of a company's worth to potential investors, buyers, and stakeholders. Additionally, the firm offers funding support, leveraging its network of business brokers, investors, and private equity sources to connect clients with suitable advisors or buyers.

The leadership team at Saltare Solutions brings a depth of experience from various sectors. Laura Yunger serves as CEO, leveraging her background in running divisions of Fortune 500 companies and her expertise in valuation enhancement and strategic planning. Athan Demakos, the President & Chief Strategy Officer, contributes over 25 years of experience in corporate communications, investor relations, and finance, specializing in using intangible assets to drive growth. The team is rounded out by Chief Marketing Officer Suzanne Hart, who has extensive experience in marketing analytics, strategy, and brand development from senior roles in banking and capital markets.
