A practical valuation answer

What is my business worth without the franchise? is usually answered by examining the value impact of the franchisor relationship, causation and damages theory, and what the business would be worth with and without the disputed conduct. The right conclusion depends on the valuation date, the standard of value, and the documents and economics that can actually be proven.

These valuations are often two-track analyses: one value in the real world after the dispute, and another value in the but-for world absent the alleged misconduct. A strong report translates those facts into a clear valuation conclusion that can be used by owners, advisors, lenders, tax authorities, regulators, or the court as needed.

Why this matters: For franchise disputes and damages, small changes in assumptions about the value impact of the franchisor relationship or causation and damages theory can materially change the final conclusion.
