Case Study: Food Production Facility in Brooklyn

A food production company in Brooklyn contacted Truman Mox after its lender requested an independent machinery and equipment appraisal for a refinancing transaction. The company operated a commercial production facility with mixers, ovens, refrigeration systems, conveyors, packaging equipment, forklifts, and stainless steel support assets.

As the company’s New York Machinery and Equipment Appraiser, Truman Mox reviewed the equipment list, inspected the assets, documented condition, and researched comparable market data. The appraisal included Fair Market Value and Orderly Liquidation Value conclusions.

The lender used the report to review collateral support for the refinancing request. The business then moved forward with its financing plan and used the additional liquidity to improve production efficiency and support growth.

Common Reasons to Hire a New York Machinery and Equipment Appraiser

Businesses request professional equipment appraisals for many reasons. In each case, the goal is to obtain an independent value conclusion that can be relied upon by the intended users.

Commercial Financing

Banks and finance companies often require equipment appraisals before approving loans secured by machinery or business assets.

SBA Loans

SBA lenders may request independent machinery and equipment appraisals for 7(a) or 504 loan files.

Business Sales and Acquisitions

Buyers and sellers use appraisals during due diligence, purchase negotiations, and purchase price allocation.

Litigation and Disputes

Attorneys and courts may rely on independent equipment appraisals during divorce matters, shareholder disputes, partnership dissolutions, and commercial litigation.

Insurance Claims and Coverage Reviews

Professional appraisals can help document equipment values for insurance purposes or support claims after a loss.

Estate and Tax Planning

Equipment appraisals may support estate administration, tax reporting, charitable donation matters, and ownership transfers.

Internal Planning

Business owners often request appraisals before refinancing, expanding, reorganizing, selling, or making major capital decisions.

Value Conclusions We Provide

Different appraisal assignments require different value definitions. Truman Mox works with each client to determine the correct premise of value based on the intended use.

Fair Market Value

Fair Market Value estimates the price an asset would bring between a willing buyer and willing seller when both parties understand the facts and neither party is forced to act.

Orderly Liquidation Value

Orderly Liquidation Value estimates proceeds from a sale that occurs over a reasonable marketing period under orderly conditions.

Forced Liquidation Value

Forced Liquidation Value estimates likely proceeds when assets must be sold quickly, often with limited market exposure.

Replacement Cost New

Replacement Cost New may be appropriate when the assignment requires an estimate of the cost to replace equipment with a new asset of similar utility.

On-Site and Desktop Appraisal Options

Truman Mox offers flexible appraisal options throughout New York.

On-Site Appraisals

For complex facilities, lender-driven assignments, or larger asset lists, our appraisers can visit the site to inspect assets, verify information, document condition, and take photographs.

Desktop Appraisals

For some assignments, a desktop appraisal may be appropriate. Clients provide equipment lists, photos, invoices, maintenance records, and other supporting documents. This option can reduce cost and speed up the process when a site visit is not required.
