Who Owns Personal Goodwill?

Who Owns Personal Goodwill? 

Goodwill matters when it comes to business valuations.    

It can be understood as a collection of intangible assets that generate earning power for a company, such as patents, trade names, customer lists, etc.  

Goodwill comes in two forms, however:  Personal Goodwill and Enterprise Goodwill. Enterprise Goodwill can include a company name or franchise reputation, customer patronage, location, and product lines. On the other hand, personal goodwill is goodwill that attaches to the persona and personal efforts of an individual.
