Equipment Appraisals

The Brokeropoly Company has a collaboration with one of the largest equipment appraisal companies in the world.

Business Evaluation Systems is one of the only appraisal firms that can offer both business appraisal and machinery and equipment appraisals. Too many appraisers just estimate or do not consider the value of a company’s hard assets. Worst of all most use “Book Value” as stated on the Balance Sheet. Most Accountants and even the Internal Revenue Service agree that Balance Sheet values for machinery and equipment, in most cases, are not even close to “Fair Market Value”. These values are based on Depreciation Schedules that are allowed by the tax codes and usually have very little resemblance to the actual useful life of the equipment. In other words, the values are tax driven and not fair market. Often many assets are not even considered to have value because they have been fully depreciated. However, these assets are still in use and performing the task they were assigned to do, thus they still have value.

When valuing a company, all fixed assets should be adjusted to fair market to show accurate values for both tangible and intangible assets.
