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. |
