Sports Value Consulting, LLC is the leading valuation and advisory firm in the professional sports industry. Driven by the desire to move from the theoretical world to a practical understanding of how teams transact, Mr. Rapkoch formed SVC in 2003.
This industry is not valued solely on the average price-to-revenue multiple of prior teams. It must include a forward-looking, deep understanding of the tangible and intangible factors related to teams. One cannot simply look to corporations-to-suite ratios or local demographics when comparing one city to another. SVC’s experience and staff of former operators provides an understanding of each market and the challenges it may have.
