USPAP-Compliant Desktop Machinery & Equipment Appraisals

International Appraisals, Inc. provides professional desktop equipment appraisals for clients who need credible machinery and equipment values without the cost or scheduling delay of an on-site inspection.

A desktop appraisal can be appropriate when equipment is identifiable through photographs, equipment lists, invoices, serial numbers, depreciation schedules, purchase records, maintenance information, or other reliable documentation.

Desktop does not mean informal. A properly scoped desktop appraisal can still be developed for the intended use of the assignment and reported in a professional, supportable, USPAP-compliant format.

When a Desktop Equipment Appraisal Makes Sense

Financing & Collateral Review

Desktop appraisals can support SBA lending, bank financing, refinance review, credit underwriting, collateral validation, and borrowing base analysis.

Fast Turnaround Needs

When timing matters, a desktop appraisal may provide a faster solution than coordinating travel, inspection scheduling, and on-site data gathering.

Lower-Cost Assignments

Removing travel and inspection time can reduce appraisal cost while still providing a professional valuation report when the asset data is sufficient.

Clearly Identifiable Assets

Desktop appraisals work best when machinery and equipment can be identified through photographs, model numbers, serial numbers, invoices, and asset schedules.
