What is the difference between brand and goodwill?
27 August 2011
In the practical sense, when selling a business, goodwill is all the hard work and effort the seller has put into the business over the years. When acquiring a business, goodwill is the difference between the tangible assets and the purchase price.
Goodwill value should not be confused with going-concern value. There is a big difference. One leading business appraiser has defined going-concern value as, "The premise that a business will continue to operate consistent with its intended purpose as opposed to being liquidated." In other words, the value of a business for just being in business is the going-concern value. It has nothing to do with whether the business is profitable, "on its last legs," or merely breaking even. Essentially, if the doors are open, a business is a going concern.
