How Our Appraisal Process Works
Quote
Every machinery and equipment appraisal project begins with a clear written quote based on asset types, industry, location, and turnaround time. We confirm the intended use SBA lending, mergers and acquisitions, litigation, estate, insurance, or internal planning. This upfront step ensures clients know cost, timeline, and scope before we start.
Schedule
Once the quote is approved, we schedule the appraisal at a date and time that fits your business. Most appraisal reports are completed within 5 to 7 business days, depending on size and location. Our team communicates throughout the process, so clients always know what stage their appraisal is in.
Inspect Equipment
For onsite inspections, we visit your facility to document, photograph, and verify each asset, including manufacturer data, serial numbers, condition, age, and custom features. For desktop appraisals, we review equipment lists, photos, and documentation to verify accuracy. This step ensures USPAP compliance and supports defensible valuation results.
Appraise
Using market based comparable sales, auction data, dealer input, and industry databases, we establish credible values such as Fair Market Value, Orderly Liquidation Value, Forced Liquidation Value, and Replacement Value. Every appraisal is completed by a certified equipment appraiser, supported by market evidence, and compliant with USPAP standards.
Deliver Report
Your machinery and equipment appraisal report is delivered in PDF format and includes values, methodology, equipment photos, asset lists, market trends, and remaining useful life estimates. We offer full support following delivery, including clarification for lenders, attorneys, or internal stakeholders. Our reports are defensible, detailed, and trusted across the U.S.
