Machinery and Equipment Appraisal

Guide to Help you Understand Machinery and Equipment Valuation

A Certified Machinery and Equipment Appraisal is a critical component in the operation of a business. It helps business owners ensure they receive a fair price when purchasing and selling individual assets as well as when selling their entire company.


It also ensures accuracy during litigation, helps insurance companies when an insurance claim is made, and supports IRS and State of California tax disputes.

Although anyone can try to perform a personal equipment appraisal, it’s in a business owners best interest to hire a Certified Machinery and Equipment Appraiser as the report is from a third party and written to meet court of law requirements in case the matter goes before a judge and/or jury.


We’ll show you why an equipment appraisal is important, cover the terminology you’ll encounter, and offer advice to make sure you choose the right appraiser for your circumstances.
