Let us discuss with you the scope of your assignment...whether small or large, Strategic Assets Consulting is standing by to discuss with you what you'll require.
We'll discuss the differences between a Site Visit and a Desktop Appraisal and the time frame involved. We'll also discuss with you the levels of trade (fair market value, orderly liquidation value, or forced liquidation value) required for the assignment.
After we collect the data on the equipment or work with a "host" when we work on a Desktop Appraisal, we go to work applying the three approaches to value to every piece of equipment: The Cost, Market, and Income Approach to determine which approach is the most reliable with verifiable data.
Someone who is not skilled, experienced, and Certified would not consider these important aspects of equipment appraisal.
Bottom Line: You won't want an unsubstantiated equipment value that will not withstand scrutiny and may lead to potential risk.
