Abstract
Measuring firm goodwill in the private limited firm still remains a contentious issue in accounting. This paper proposes an alternative method of measuring goodwill bused on the market share such firms are able to achieve through competitive marketing strategies. It gives explicit recognition to the role that marketing resources play on determining the value of a firm when considering acquisition or disposal.
