Some businesses may succumb to the downturn and will need to sell off assets in preparation for bankruptcy declaration. Others, still stinging from tax time, may simply be searching for ways to save on taxes next year. Still others may be considering an equipment purchase or an acquisition of a struggling business. Present Value can assist business owners in any of these three situations by conducting certified business or equipment appraisals.

“When planning their reactions to the current economy, it’s important for our clients to know the worth of their assets,” said Chris Kinzie, Present Value co-founder. The company recognizes that many of the regulations surrounding equipment appraisals and business valuations can be confusing, and Present Value seeks to provide its clients with the necessary information to help them make informed, prudent business decisions. “We want to help our clients not just make the next choice, but the best choice,” added Kinzie.

A capital item is a item that had an original cost basis of $2,000 to $2,500 or more. It is done this way as these items are typically the ones with the most amount of value. Items of lessor original cost basis are considered support items (shop, electronic, furniture) that are included in the appraisal in groups at no additional cost to the client.

Example:

XYZ Company provides Present Value with a asset list. After reviewing the asset list Present Value determines there are 200 total items with 30 capital items. 170 of these items are considered support items and will be placed in different groups and given value at no additional cost. The remaining 30 capital items will be appraised individually as line items. (30 capital items X $90 per capital item = $2,700. Total cost of appraisal $2,700.
