Goodwill is created when one company acquires another for a price higher than the fair market value of its assets; for instance, if Company A acquires Company B for more than the fair value of Company B's assets and debts, the amount left over is listed on Company A's balance sheet as goodwill.

The value of a company's brand name, solid customer base, good customer relations, good employee relations and any patents or proprietary technology represent goodwill.
