FAQs
How do international market factors affect the value of my equipment?
In a global economy, two identical machines can have different values based on where they were sourced. We account for currency exchange rates and international supply chain relationships to ensure your valuation reflects true global market conditions.
What is the difference between Orderly Liquidation and Forced Liquidation Value?
Orderly Liquidation Value (OLV) assumes a reasonable period to find a buyer, whereas Forced Liquidation Value (FLV) assumes an immediate, “as-is” sale. These metrics are vital for asset-based financing and help lenders understand their risk.
Can your team handle specialized equipment for niche industries?
Yes. Our team has extensive experience in virtually every sector, including aerospace, bitcoin operations, and cannabis cultivation. We understand the specific life cycles and obsolescence factors unique to these high-tech industries.
How do you ensure the accuracy of your M&E appraisals?
