Business
owners, attorneys, bankers, bank examiners, CPA’s, and
courts ask the same question : “What’s it really
worth? Is there goodwill? Do only the tangible assets of your
business have value? If so, how are those assets valued? Book
value (not accurate), or worse yet, do you guess or take a
non-certified person’s word?
Estimating
the true market value of your machinery and equipment at any
given time requires the specialized skills of a professional
who has the expertise and certification to determine its true
fair market value. Whether you need to know the market value
or other standards of value such as liquidation value, salvage
value or replacement cost, doesn’t it make sound financial
sense to obtain a credible Certified Appraisal Report that
holds up under scrutiny with financial institutions, government
agencies, buyers, sellers, shareholders or partners?
A
Certified Machinery and Equipment Appraiser (CMEA) is a professional
who has the training, knowledge, experience and background
to render a Certified Machinery and Equipment Appraisal Report.
All CMEA professionals receive extensive continuous training
on a monthly basis and are subject to peer review on a regular
basis. Only after a professional passes a comprehensive written
examination and submits a demonstration appraisal is that
individual awarded the prestigious professional designation
of CMEA by the NEBB Institute.
In addition, the professional is required to re-certify every
five years.
More
importantly, a CMEA is required to observe the highest standards
of professional ethics and comply with regulations mandated
by the Uniform Standards of Professional Appraisal Practice
(USPAP). Only the skills of a CMEA professional make sound
financial business sense to determine an accurate and appropriate
value. |
