Who Needs An Equipment Certified Appraisal?
Just to recap ... An Equipment Appraisal and an Equipment Valuation are the same estimate of equipment value. We have found that in different parts of the country, the report is referred to as "valuation" while in other parts of the country the report is referred to as "appraisal". They are the same with both titles provide a defensible estimate of equipment value.
Now, you may be wondering ... Who needs to know the value of equipment? It's The quick answer? EVERYONE who owns equipment!
There are over 18 different strategies that REQUIRE and ECA or EECA to deliver a defensible estimate of value for the equipment. Primarily, we are contacted by at least one of the following industry groups:
- Lending Institutions of all types
- CPA's
- Attorneys
- Business Owners
- Courts
- Assessors
The list above is consistently growing of professionals who require equipment values. Just remember that guessing at a value or relying on the depreciation schedule is filled with the risk of liability and will deliver a value that may be inaccurate and unreliable.
Your best choice is to not take anyone's word for an equipment value other than the word of an Equipment Certified Appraiser (ECA) or Expert Equipment Certified Appraiser (EECA). We KNOW what the equipment is worth!
