MACHINERY & EQUIPMENT

Machinery & Equipment

There are many reasons in which companies may require equipment valuation services, including merger and acquisitions, confirming you are properly insured, purchasing additional equipment, or simply assessing overall worth. Below is a comprehensive list of when to hire a machinery and equipment appraiser:
  • Financing/SBA Loans– Establishes collateral value. The lender will need to have a Certified Machinery and Equipment Appraisal.
  • 1031 Exchanges- One of the best kept secrets of the IRS. Assets require a valuation for a like-kind exchange.
  • ESOPS- Initial appraisals must start out with accurate values of tangible assets such as machinery/equipment. Book value is usually not accurate.
  • Valuations – Book value is probably not accurate and usually different from Fair Market Value. If the machinery/equipment is not valued properly, the entire business valuation is skewed. Lots of risk and liability.
  • Gifting – Requires an appraisal of the items becoming a gift.
  • Estate Planning- Trusts and Wills require a value of the items.
  • Liquidations – How do you effectively and profitably liquidate the assets?
  • Sarbanes-Oxley – Tangible assets must be valued and substantiated.
  • Buy/Sell Agreements – Partners need to know at the outset how machinery and equipment values will be determined.
  • Converting from C to S Corp– a CPA typically requires an appraisal of the assets.
  • Cost Segregation– Equipment values need to be substantiated.
  • Divorces– The division of property will require an accurate, substantiated value by the court.
  • Property Taxes- An excellent tool to prepare for a governmental authority to reduce and substantiate equipment values or substantiate the equipment is no longer owned by your client.
  • Partnership Dissolution – The partners are splitting the sheets and a total equipment value will be required.
  • IRS – The Pension Protection Act of 2006 requires a substantiated and certified equipment appraisal of the equipment.
  • Merger & Acquisitions – Buyers and sellers will need an accurate value of the machinery and equipment being purchased or sold.
  • Insurable Value- Insurance agencies and business owners need an accurate value of the machinery and equipment being insured.
  • GAAP and IFRS Reporting Purposes – Generally Accepted Accounting Principles and International Financial.
