You need to be sure that what you are buying is exactly as described. It is common that start up brands without any in house R&D and regulatory personnel, have to rely on outsourcing. In many cases, this leads to corner cutting that will affect the compliance and ultimately the value of the brand. If claims on the brands are not substantiated or safety has not been assessed, your investment may be endangered. We can ensure you take a calculated risk on a brands’ IP, claims and any potential expenses that may affect the brand and its compliance.
A family run investment company in London started their venture on a beauty and consumer product. The firm was in the process of acquiring a German based brand with 30 lines.
We undertook a risk litigation report on the products and reviewed the claims on the products to ensure the relevant substantiation was available in the product information file (PIF). The outcome was that over 40% of claims on the label couldn’t be used if the brand wanted to be compliant with the EU/UK regulation.
The cost for re-labelling or claims substantiation was calculated, and a plan was put in place to ensure that the brand could move into the desired territories without repercussion.
