Experience Matters
Our team of fixed asset valuation specialists includes professionals who have earned top industry designations and have decades of experience valuing tangible assets for a variety of purposes: financing, financial reporting, tax reporting, insurance placement, and dispute.
Traditional collateral lending valuation analyses typically require a combination of the following opinion standards:
- Fair Market Value
- Orderly Liquidation Value
- Forced Liquidation Value
- Auction Value
With consideration given to premises such as:
- Value in use and in place
- Value in removal
Analyses for more complex financings (lease, sale/leaseback, synthetic lease) include more opinions to comply with specific tax law requirements, including:
- Economic Useful Life
- Residual Value
Marshall & Stevens provides value opinions without contingencies tied to the potential sale or liquidation of the subject assets therefore our analyses are performed without conflict of interest.
The team’s experience and understanding of equipment ranges from the intricacies of specific industry technology to the subtleties of fully integrated manufacturing operations. We pride ourselves in providing intelligent, detailed, and supportable valuation opinions that are compliant with the Uniform Standard of Professional Appraisal Practices (USPAP), the American Society of Appraisers (ASA) and, as required, specific financing requirements.
While site inspections are a preferred step in the valuation process, in order to best understand the condition of the subject assets, desktop analyses are performed upon request.
