Certified Business Appraisal
Often a business owner requires a formal presentation of the value of a business in a self-contained written report. This type of valuation is known as an Appraisal Report. If a valuation has the potential to go to court, or if the report needs to be reviewed by others, such as the IRS for tax implications, this type of report explains in full detail how the value was derived. The Appraisal is developed under the guidelines of the Uniform Standards of Professional Appraisal Practice (USPAP) and written by an appraiser certified to perform such analysis. USPAP represents the generally accepted and recognized standards of appraisal practice in the profession. Compliance with these standards ensures that proven peer-reviewed valuation methods are used to develop defendable opinions of value.
Situations that could necessitate an Appraisal Report are:
- Mergers and Acquisitions
- Exit Strategy Planning
- Buy-out of Partners/Shareholders (private firms)
- Buy/Sell Agreements
- Fairness Opinions
- Personal Financial Planning
- Insurance Underwriting
- Buy-in/Capital Infusions/Equity Participation Valuation
- Independent Appraisal Verification
- Divorce
- Family Business Ownership Transfers
This report is typically 70 – 90+ pages in length.
Equipment Appraisal
Business appraisals and real estate appraisals do not include a valuation of the individual pieces of machinery and equipment that are owned by a business. Owners, Bankers, CPA’s and Attorneys often need to know the current market value of equipment rather than a depreciated accounting value. The professional equipment appraisers at CBB hold the prestigious CERTIFIED MACHINERY AND EQUIPMENT APPRAISER (CMEA) designation and can deliver an equipment appraisal that is USPAP compliant, substantiated, and defensible.
