Watch Out For These 3 Deadly Mistakes Of Determining Equipment Values.

Unless an Auctioneer or equipment dealer is Certified in equipment appraisal, they may have a hidden agenda. If the appraisal report you obtain is not USPAP compliant, it is not a “qualified” appraisal prepared by a “qualified” appraiser under the Council of Foundations, IRS, or others. A Certified Machinery and Equipment Appraiser(CMEA), a member of NEBB Institute, meets and exceeds the experience and training requirements of many governing authorities. Beware if the individual does not have a certification. You will only be opening yourself up to increased costs, liability, risk, and an unsubstantiated equipment appraisal.

Guessing is filled with liability and risk. The loan file will not contain the substantiation needed to support a loan decision.

The depreciation schedule is only essential to the business owner, CPA, and IRS. The depreciation schedule will not provide a fair market value, orderly liquidation, or forced liquidation value. Once again, this method is filled with liability and risk.

If you can answer “Yes” to any of these situations, you need an Independent Certified Machinery And Equipment Appraisal By A Qualified Appraiser Preparing A Qualified Appraisal.
