Why you need an appraisal<\/h1><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>

Attention Business Owner!
\nNow…More Than Ever, It is Extremely Vital You KNOW The Value Of Your Equipment!<\/p><\/h3><\/div><\/div><\/div>

Why Do You Need To Know The Value Of Your Machinery\/Equipment?<\/strong><\/p>\n

As a business owner, at one time or another, you will be faced with needing to know… What’s Your Machinery\/Equipment Worth?<\/p>\n

What do you do? Guess? Ask a friend? Go by book value? Unfortunately, guessing, friends, and book values are risky, unsubstantiated, and inaccurate! A Lender, CPA, Attorney, Court, IRS, and others ALL require a USPAP compliant, substantiated Certified Equipment Appraisal<\/a>. Suppose your appraisal is prepared by anyone other than a “qualified” appraiser preparing a “qualified” review. In that case, your appraisal will not hold up to scrutiny required by governmental authorities, lenders, CPAs, attorneys, courts, and others!<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>

A Certified Machinery & Equipment Appraiser (CMEA) Gives You An Independent Substantiated, Defensible, and USPAP Compliant Report You Can Rely Upon With Confidence.<\/h5><\/div>

A CMEA professional has the expertise, certification, and knowledge to conduct an independent third-party machinery\/equipment appraisal. Therefore, the value of an item is substantiated and reflects the realistic actual market value. In addition, each CMEA abides by the regulations and ethics of the Uniform Standards of Professional Appraisal Practice.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>

Why Would You Need The Professional Services Of A CMEA?<\/h5><\/div>

Sellers need to know they are not selling too low or pricing their machinery\/equipment above the fair market value. Buyers want to know they are not paying too much to purchase the machinery\/ equipment.<\/p>\n

In addition, for allocation purposes, the IRS requires buyers and sellers to agree on the value of tangible assets involved with a business transfer. They must \u201callocate\u201d a particular value for tangible assets and goodwill.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>

A Certified Machinery\/Equipment Appraisal holds up under scrutiny with courts, financial institutions, and other lenders. That\u2019s not all; business owners utilize a Certified Appraisal Report<\/a> in connection with good business sense in the following areas.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>
