About Tangible Asset Appraisals

Tangible assets are the physical backbone of your business – machinery, equipment, buildings, land – all holding significant value. Accurate appraisals of these assets are critical for a variety of reasons, from tax compliance and insurance coverage to mergers, acquisitions, and financial reporting.

At CRS, our team of accredited senior appraisers brings a unique blend of expertise. We hold specialty designations in Machinery and Equipment (M&E), and Cost Surveys from the American Society of Appraisers, and possess additional credentials like Chartered Financial Analyst (CFA) and Certified Cost Segregation Professional (CCSP).

An appraisal is often necessary for various situations, such as:

  • Buying or selling a business or asset
  • Tax compliance and planning (e.g., property taxes, depreciation)
  • Financial reporting and auditing
  • Mergers, acquisitions, and divestitures
  • Asset-based lending and financing
  • And more

After gathering information about the scope of and goals for the appraisal, CRS determines the appropriate premise of value and value definitions we use to complete the project. These will depend on the asset’s current and future use, the owner’s intentions, and market conditions.

  • Premise of value refers to the assumed conditions under which an asset is valued and establishes the circumstances affecting its worth. Examples include continued use, in exchange, orderly or forced liquidation.
  • Value definitions specify the type of value being measured based on legal, financial, or market considerations. These can include fair market value, orderly and forced liquidation value, and salvage value.

Using the correct premise and definitions for the valuation ensures our clients can achieve the best possible financial and strategic outcomes based on their specific situation.
