Brand valuation · ISO 10668 · ISO 20671

Your brand is an asset. Do you know what it's worth?

Three factors decide it. Move them below and see which one moves the value most. Every dot is brand earnings in today's money.

Brand contribution decides how much of the earnings is the brand's. Every column scales with it.

Share of earnings that exists because customers choose this brand.
What b is made of

b measures the relationship between the brand and its audience: does the audience find it, choose it and pay for it? In a valuation it combines three observed signals.

1 · RecognitionDemand that starts with the brand's name: direct visits, branded search, referrals.
2 · PreferenceHow much more often the company wins when the buyer already knows it.
3 · Pricing powerThe premium customers pay over comparable offers.

How brand value forms depends on the industry, and so does how it is calculated. The weight of each signal and the data behind it are set per industry: in B2B tendering preference shows in win rates, in consumer goods pricing power shows in the price premium, and in local services recognition carries more weight.

Repeat purchases by existing customers are left out: they belong to customer relationships, not the brand. In this demo b is set by hand to show its effect.

With your own numbers

Which lever is the biggest for your brand?

A Lite estimate starts from public data and takes 30–60 minutes. You get a value range, your biggest lever, and the one input that would narrow the range most.

Talk to us

A brand's true monetary value is only proven when someone pays for it, in an acquisition or a licence deal. Every other figure, including ours, is an estimate. Ours shows its assumptions.

Illustrative example company. The demo explains the model; it does not value any real company.

For management

Your brand is on every invoice, but not on your balance sheet.

That makes it easy to underinvest in, hard to defend in a budget meeting and easy to undersell in a deal. Putting a number on it changes four conversations.

01 · CEO, CFO, board

Selling, buying or raising capital

Know the brand's share of the price before the other side puts a number on it.

02 · CMO

Defending the marketing budget

Show what the spend builds in euros of asset value, not in clicks and impressions.

03 · Management team

Choosing the next investment

See whether protection, pricing power or recognition moves the value most, before the money is spent.

04 · Board

Tracking it year on year

Same model, same assumptions, every year. You see whether the brand is growing or wearing out.

In the boardroom the question is rarely only "what is the brand worth?" It is "what should we do next?" The model answers both.

What you get

From a first estimate to a report you can defend

Lite estimate

From public data. Methods and assumptions are agreed and shown; not every input is verified.

  • A value range, with data strength per factor
  • Your biggest lever
  • The one input that would narrow the range most

Use

First discussion, screening, comparison

Full valuation

From your own data, for a company operating in one market, reported following the structure of ISO 10668.

  • A value with sensitivity analysis
  • Where each factor's data comes from, and how strong it is
  • A baseline to repeat year on year

Use

Management decisions, financing, marketing budgets

We work strictly to the standards and show every assumption. The result is an estimate; its use in a transaction, licence or tax matter is for the parties and their advisers to decide.

The model

Three questions, multiplied

Each factor is a ratio, not a single digital metric. Because they are multiplied, the weakest one limits the whole value.

Earning potential

How much can the business earn when mature?

Market size × market share × target margin. A growth company may run at a loss today and still hold a valuable brand, so the model uses the margin the business can sustain, not this year's result.

Brand contribution

How much of that is earned because customers choose the brand?

The relationship between the brand and its audience, measured from observed behaviour rather than surveys: recognition, preference and pricing power. How these combine depends on the industry.

Durability

How long, and how safely, do those earnings last?

Market growth, brand protection, risk and the years counted, shown as one multiplier: how many years of brand earnings the brand is worth in today's money.

Why multiply?

A loss today does not erase a brand. But a business that can never earn has no brand value, a profitable business that customers do not choose for its brand has none either, and an unprotected brand lasts less. Set any factor to zero in the demo and the whole value goes to zero.

Data
