There are numerous reasons why a Certified Machinery & Equipment Appraisal (CMEA) may be required by lenders, CPAs, attorneys, business owners, and others. And you may have needed one more than once, but didn\u2019t know it. How do you know: \u201cWhat\u2019s the equipment is really worth?\u201d Below are some of our best posts that explain who might need a CMEA and why.<\/p>\n

Who Needs a CMEA?<\/strong><\/a>
\nAs a CMEA, who will turn to you for your help and expertise? Below are four types of people who could potentially use your services this year.<\/p>\n

20 Reasons You Might Need a Certified Machinery & Equipment Appraisa<\/strong>l<\/a>
\nThere are at least 20 reasons why a Certified Machinery & Equipment Appraisal (CMEA) may be required by lenders, CPAs, attorneys, business owners, and others.<\/p>\n

Why Attorneys Need a CMEA<\/a><\/strong>
\nAttorneys frequently work on cases that involve the value of a business\u2019 physical assets, such as machinery and equipment, but oftentimes rely on the client\u2019s estimates, follow a depreciation schedule, or guess at their value rather than rely on a certified machinery and equipment appraisal. Even value estimates put forth by an uncertified auctioneer or dealer will not hold up to scrutiny with the IRS, courts, or lenders.<\/p>\n

Why Business Owners Need a CMEA<\/a><\/strong>
\nAt some point in every business owner\u2019s career, he or she needs to know how much his or her machinery and equipment are really worth.<\/p>\n

Why Do Lenders Need a CMEA?<\/a><\/strong>
\nOver the past couple of years,
bankers and lenders<\/a> have been actively seeking new ways to reduce their liability when making loans. Often, lenders are asked to make a lending decision that involves knowing the value of a piece of machinery or equipment, and one of the best ways they can protect themselves is by hiring a certified machinery and equipment appraiser (CMEA) to do the job. It is a mistake to guess at the value of a piece of equipment, both because the guess could be incorrect and because a guess would make it difficult to support a loan decision.<\/p>\n

Why Accountants Need a CMEA<\/a><\/strong>
\nGood accountants want to do what\u2019s best for their clients, and the best thing they can do is to make sure that they are compliant with laws and best practices for dealing with the IRS. And if an accountant relies on something other than a certified appraisal to determine the value of a piece of equipment, his or her client is taking a significant risk.<\/p>\n
