Frequently asked questions

Answers for business owners who want to understand the process before speaking with an expert.

Customer-based intangible asset valuation can be performed for customer relationships, customer contracts, subscription agreements, service contracts, distribution agreements, supply contracts, recurring revenue arrangements, customer lists, and client portfolios.

Customer relationships represent the long-term economic value arising from ongoing customer loyalty and repeat business, whereas customer contracts derive value from legally enforceable agreements that generate identifiable future cash flows over a defined period

The valuation typically requires customer contracts, historical revenue data, customer retention and attrition analysis, profitability information, contract terms, financial statements, and future revenue projections.

Customer relationships are typically valued using the Multi-Period Excess Earnings Method (MPEEM), which estimates the future economic benefits expected from existing customer relationships after deducting returns attributable to other contributory assets. The valuation considers factors such as customer retention, projected revenues, profitability, attrition rates, and the expected economic life of the customer base.

The timeline depends on the size of the customer base, complexity of the contractual arrangements, and availability of financial and operational information. Most valuation assignments are completed within a few weeks after receiving the required documentation.
