Finance, Refinance, Recapitalization

Our machinery & equipment, real estate, and financial valuation professionals work with corporate executives, fiduciaries, financial institutions, investors and transaction advisors to finance machinery & equipment, intangible assets, real estate, fully integrated projects and facilities, and business enterprises.   From straight forward debt financing to the more complex structured finance transactions, our specialists know what is required and how to get the deals done.  

The Marshall & Stevens Approach

Our in-house professionals provide timely independent analyses to the entire spectrum of financing and investment sources. Some assignments require nothing more than a standard opinion of fair market value.  Others require an opinion of orderly and forced liquidation, highest and best use, go dark value, etc.

We service structured finance transactions by providing the opinions required to consummate sale leasebacks, off-balance sheet transactions, partnership, cross-border, and municipal transactions.

Opinions provided include, but are not limited to:

• Economic Useful Life and Remaining Useful Life
• Fair Lease Value
• Fair Market Value
• Fair Value
• Fairness Opinions
• Go Dark Value
• Limited Use Analyses and Compulsion
• Liquidation Values
• MACRS Classifications / Cost Segregation
• Portfolio Valuation
• Purchase Option
• Repowering Tax Analyses (80/20 Test)
• Residual Value
• Solvency Opinions
• Assignment of Tax Lives

Our specialists pride themselves on the ability to demonstrate a complete understanding of the needs and considerations of each individual transaction. We provide the necessary input and solutions to the challenges our clients may face, bringing a great deal of sensitivity and intelligence to each new transaction.

Important Compliance Requirements
