Types of Equipment Appraisals

Desktop Appraisals

A Desktop Appraisal is a cost-effective solution for non-litigation purposes, such as internal evaluations or some equipment sale scenarios. Using client-supplied data and photographs (manufacturer name, model number, serial number, etc.), our team produces a detailed report without an on-site inspection. These reports are ideal for most use cases—excluding bank financing, IRS documentation, and courtroom use.

Full Appraisal Reports

When maximum credibility is needed, our certified Appraisal Reports offer a comprehensive, USPAP-compliant analysis based on appraiser-inspected data. This level of service includes an in-person inspection of equipment, photographs, and verifiable condition assessments. These reports are suitable for:

Bank and SBA lending
Tax filings
Divorce and estate proceedings
IRS audits
Legal disputes and expert witness testimony

Approaches to Value

At AMG Commercial Services, our appraisers use three standard approaches to determine the most accurate and defensible value:

Market Data Approach
We analyze recent sales and listings for similar machinery to determine a current fair market value.
Cost Less Depreciation
This method calculates the new cost of the equipment and subtracts depreciation, considering factors like wear, age, and obsolescence.
Income Approach
Though less commonly applied in machinery valuations, this method calculates value based on the expected income the equipment can generate, discounted to present value.
