There are no less than 20 typical reasons a business owner, CPA, attorney, insurance underwriter, lenders, leasing agents, business brokers, farm credit managers and others absolutely require the professional expertise of an independent third party Certified Machinery and Equipment Appraisal prepared by only a Certified Machinery and Equipment Appraiser (CMEA).
Can you really rely on a guess, book value, the word of a non-certified person, or auctioneer who may have a "hidden agenda"? The answer is "NO". You cannot. Why not? Relying on a guess, book value, auctioneer, or the word of a non-certified person is inaccurate and will not withstand scrutiny.
However, the skilled and experienced professionals at FIAG are Certified Machinery & Equipment Appraisers (CMEA). We apply the methodology of appraisal and employ the guidelines for determining values. Therefore, you can rely with confidence on a Certified Appraisal Report prepared by the CMEA's at FIAG because it is accurate, substantiated, defensible, and irrefutable. The Appraisal will hold up to scrutiny. Will yours?
