Net worth can be computed by subtracting liabilities from assets.

Assets - Site Content, Subscribers and/or Customer Base, and Retained Earnings.
Liabilities - Employee Salaries, Web Development, and Hosting & T1 Line fees.

This gets a little fuzzy to me in an E-Businesses environment. My biggest assets are site content and my customer base. How can I assign a realistic dollar value to electronic information which I would consider a soft asset?

Thanks,

Happy
