Which statement best describes 'franchise value' in acquisitions?

Franchise value is the intangible benefits that come from a strong brand, market position, and customer relationships that can support paying more than the net value of identifiable assets in an acquisition. This intangible strength drives the premium buyers are willing to pay, reflecting expected future earnings and competitive advantage. It’s not about tangible assets or the day-to-day cash flow itself, and while it contributes to the overall value that ends up in goodwill, it’s not simply another term for goodwill.
