A tabletop game store owner needs a standard method to value distributor allocation rights for investor buy-in, as the ability to purchase limited-supply products at distributor cost is not reflected on the balance sheet.

There is no standard, accepted method to quantify the value of distributor allocation rights for investor valuation purposes, making it hard to justify the intangible asset's worth.
