Why Do You Need To Know The Value Of Your Machinery/Equipment?

As a business owner, at one time or another you will be faced with needing to know… What’s Your Machinery/Equipment Really Worth? What do you do? Guess? Ask a friend? Go by book value? Unfortunately, guessing, friends and book values are risky and inaccurate.A Certified Machinery & Equipment Appraiser (CMEA) Gives You A Fair Realistic Independent Value You Can Rely Upon.A CMEA professional has the expertise, certification and knowledge to conduct an independent third party machinery/equipment appraisal.

Why Would You Need The Professional Services of A CMEA?

Sellers need to know that they are not selling to low or pricing their machinery/equipment above the fair market value. Buyers want to know that they are not paying too much to purchase the machinery/ equipment.

In addition, for allocation purposes, the ATO requires buyers and sellers to agree on the value of tangible assets involved with a business transfer.

They must “allocate” a particular value for tangible assets as well as goodwill.
