How to value business when brand is popular in comparison to sale and is decades old enjoying repute?

Valuing goodwill or a brand developed in-house (i.e. by incurring marketing expenditure, ensuring quality and meeting consumer expectations and perceptions) is always a challenge.
The brand in order to have implications for valuation of a firm/business shall pass through two tests:

  • the brand must result into higher sales for the company compared to its competitors
  • per unit price of the product that the company realises must be higher than similar products offered by competition.
If an in-house developed brand passes these two tests, a brand would have significant impact on the value of the firm.
