Types of Appraisals
We offer two different types of reports for machinery and equipment appraisals. These include:
- Appraisal Reports, Restricted and Full, which are typically utilized for estimating the value of machinery and equipment. This USPAP compliant report expresses value as a single figure for each tangible asset valued and the aggregate is reported as a single number. On-site inspection details are also included.
- Desktop Appraisal Reports, Restricted and Full, which are typically used to determine value without the expense of an on-site inspection. It also provides a detailed analysis of the condition of the machinery or equipment. SFL Valuation Services will report a value based on pictures and a brief description of the machinery or equipment provided to us.
