What is Equipment Appraisal?

Equipment appraisal involves the financial valuation of equipment and machinery that is part of a business. Certified equipment, directly related to the primary product or service of the company, usually acts as the basis for equipment appraisal. However, just about any machinery can be part of the equipment appraisal. People use equipment appraisal to calculate an owner's total collateral, or in matters of estate, property tax, balance sheet restatements, and other situations in which the parties appraise machinery as an integral part of a business.

There are a few kinds of equipment appraisals, from summary equipment appraisals to desktop appraisals. These types of equipment appraisals are simple and cost-effective. A desktop equipment appraisal, as opposed to the quick and easy summary, involves the owner going to the appraiser and receiving a valuation based on the data provided. Regular appraisals require an office inspection of the equipment. The results of this type of equipment appraisal will include a full description of the equipment and machinery appraised, as well as valuation on comparative sales and depreciation replacement costs, and photographs of the machinery. You may need assistance with an equipment appraisal at some point in your career, especially if you are thinking of selling or buying a business with lots of machinery as part of the contract.
