Business Acquisitions
Purchasers often obtain equipment appraisals during due diligence to verify that machinery values support the purchase price.
Financial Reporting
Businesses use equipment appraisals for accounting purposes, purchase price allocations, insurance reviews, and internal financial planning.
Bankruptcy and Restructuring
Attorneys, trustees, and lenders rely on independent valuations during reorganizations, liquidations, workouts, and distressed asset situations.
