Valuation Report Service for EBS / BRS

BIAfn is a leading EBS/BRS Valuation and Lease Analysis Provider

BIAfn has monitored spectrum rule changes over last 10 to 15 years, and conducted valuations in the 2.5 GHZ Band for more than 10 years. Our expert valuation professionals have valued more than 200 EBS/BRS licenses, totaling more than $400 million since the announcement of the rebanding in 2004.

Our valuation report includes:

Industry Overview
A detailed history of the industry, how regulations have changed over the years, highlights of the new rules/rebanding of the spectrum, a description of the commercial operators and their current status.

Market and Competitive Overview
BIAfn provides demographic and economic statistics of the counties covered by the GSA based on the results of an engineering study.  Factors such as population growth, retail sales, household income, etc. are used to make assessments about the value of the spectrum.  Our report also includes an overview of which commercial operators have an existing presence in the market and if any EBS licensees in the area have entered into lease agreements.

Valuation
BIAfn estimates the fair market value or fair market lease value of the spectrum using a comparable sales analysis.  A price per MHzPop multiple is calculated for each of the transactions in our database in order to compare values across various markets.  (link on MHzPop with definition – MHzPop multiple is calculated by dividing the sales price by the product of the total number of MHz available and the population served by the GSA).  Adjustments are the made to the multiples to reflect the marketability, market size, economic statistics, and competitive situation in the market.

Be sure to maximize the value of your EBS/BRS license.
