Types of Appraisals

Summary Appraisal Report 

A summary appraisal report is typically utilized for estimating the value of machinery and equipment. On-site inspection details are included in the appraisal report. This USPAP compliant report expresses value as a single figure for each tangible asset valued and the aggregate is reported as a single number.

Desktop Appraisal Report

A desktop appraisal report is typically used to determine value without the expense of an on-site inspection and detailed analysis of the condition of the machinery or equipment. You send us pictures and a brief description of the machinery or equipment and we provide a value based on this information.

Types of Analysis

Fair Market Value (FMV)

Orderly Liquidation Value (OLV)

Forced Liquidation Value (FLV)
