According to Brand Finance, the Brand Value is computed on the basis of separate values assigned for Brand Strength, Business Performance and External Changes. It is described as a specific asset valuation which calculates the value of the transferable element of the brand, generally comprising the value of the trademarks and associated intellectual property.
Brand Finance calculates the values of the brands in its league tables using the Royalty Relief approach – a brand valuation method compliant with the industry standards set in ISO 10668. It involves estimating the likely future revenues that are attributable to a brand by calculating a royalty rate that would be charged for its use, to arrive at a ‘brand value’ understood as a net economic benefit that a brand owner would achieve by licensing the brand in the open market.
London headquartered Brand Finance is the world’s leading independent, value-based brand strategy consultancy, with offices in over 20 countries including Sri Lanka. Brand Finance bridges the gap between marketing and finance by quantifying the financial value of brands. Brand Finance helped craft the internationally recognised standard on Brand Valuation – ISO 10668, and the standard on Brand Evaluation – ISO 20671.
