Definition
Brand valuation refers to the estimation of the monetary value of a brand in a transaction whether it is internal or a purchase, sale or licensing agreement. It is the financial equity the company has in the brand as a transferrable asset.
The most popular brand valuation methods are the cost approach, market approach and income approach. [1]
Brand valuation and brand evaluation are related concepts and synergistic with each other. Brand evaluation is broader and includes non-monetary considerations.
While brand valuation is defined from the brand-owning entity’s point of view, brand evaluation is defined from the perspective of all stakeholders.[2]
