> Business value is the value that a business creates through sales or services. So essentially, income - expenses + goodwill.

Well WeWorks’ business value was negative as expenses always(?) exceeded revenue

Goodwill is the excess paid for a business over the value of the assets so it’s a fudge factor at best

When a founder of a company that’s never really made money walks away will hundreds of millions and everyone else gets stiffed you know there was something very wrong going on
