About the Course:

This session walks the listener through several models--such as probability adjusted with and without analysis and the estimation of conditional probabilities--used to calculate the value of non-compete agreements. The program discusses many issues that arise in determining how to value Covenants Not to Compete such as:

• What are some forms of Covenants Not to Compete?
• What are some of the reasons that non-competes may have little to no value?
• How should a valuation analyst calculate tax amortization benefits? When should the tax amortization benefit be applied?
• Should the tax amortization benefit be applied when a company's equity is purchased?
• What is the common practice in connection with assuming the impact on a company after the non-compete expires?
• What are some of the expenses that a company might incur if its former employees compete against it?
• What are some of the reasons that a former employee will not be able to effectively compete against his former employer?
• How should an analyst factor enforceability on the valuation of a non-compete?
• How would a former employee having a consulting plan from the former employer affect the value of a non-compete agreement?
