Case Study: Marine Service Company in Newport

A marine service company in the Newport area contacted Truman Mox after its lender requested an independent appraisal to support a refinancing request. The business owned boatyard equipment, forklifts, marine service tools, shop machinery, trailers, and support vehicles.

As the company’s Rhode Island Machinery and Equipment Appraiser, Truman Mox reviewed the asset list, completed an equipment inspection, documented condition, and researched comparable market data. The report included Fair Market Value and Orderly Liquidation Value conclusions.

The lender used the appraisal to evaluate collateral support for the refinancing request. The business then moved forward with its financing plan and used the additional liquidity to support seasonal operations and equipment upgrades.

Value Conclusions We Provide

Orderly Liquidation Value

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

Forced Liquidation Value

On-Site and Desktop Appraisal Options

Truman Mox offers flexible appraisal options throughout Rhode Island.

On-Site Appraisals

For complex equipment, larger asset lists, or lender-driven assignments, our appraisers can visit the location 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 documentation. This option can reduce cost and speed up the process when a site visit is not required.
