We have written a number of blog posts on machinery and equipment appraisals, including What’s It Worth? and Certified Machinery and Equipment Appraisal. We have talked about the complexities of appraisals for custom-made equipment, such as dies, molds, or custom machinery, and the importance of working with an experienced appraisal company to ensure that you know the value of all your machinery and equipment.
Recently at Present Value, we have worked on some fascinating appraisal projects that we thought might of interest to our readers and also show the breadth of businesses that we work with on a daily basis.
The first project of interest was a radiology clinic, where we appraised the various X-RAY, CAT-scan, and MRI machines that comprise the assets of the business. Another cool project was at a construction company. In this case, we appraised all of the large earth-moving equipment – backhoes, front-end loaders, and dump trucks – and smaller equipment like Bobcats. One of the most fun projects was for a movie theater company that had a dozen theaters and one IMAX theater that we appraised.
Although these projects varied widely in scope and by industry, they demonstrate that understanding the value of machinery and equipment assets are of paramount importance to any business.
