Do You know what your machinery
and equipment is REALLY worth?
|
 When it comes to your business assets, at some point in time you will probably need to know the true value of the machinery and equipment. Since the answer to that question often affects an important decision, it makes good business and financial sense to utilize a professional appraiser. Business owners, attorneys, IRS, lenders and courts all ask the same question..."What's the machinery and equipment really worth?" Is there goodwill? Do only the tangible assets of the business have value? If so, how are those assets valued?
Professional expertise and knowledge enables Associate Equity Business Sales & Acquisitions to deliver a comprehensive and detailed Certified Appraisal Report consistent with the ethics and guidelines mandated by the Uniform Standards of Professional Appraisal Practice (USPAP). USPAP, promulgated by Congress and the Appraisal Foundation, is the leading authoritative source for appraisals.
That is why you can expect to receive an accurate, defensible, and descriptive report that includes photographs, model and serial numbers, and other descriptive information that will withstand scrutiny. Our assignment of value is based on extensive research, personal inspection, and contact with manufacturers and suppliers to determine what your items are really worth.
