Certified, USPAP Compliant Appraisals

A Certified Machinery and Equipment Appraiser (CMEA) is experienced in collecting, substantiating, reporting and determining a value that is consistent with USPAP (Uniform Standards of Professional Appraisal Practice). USPAP, promulgated by the Appraisal Foundation and Congress, is an authoritative source for appraisals.

If the appraisal report you obtain is not USPAP compliant, it is not a “qualified” appraisal prepared by a “qualified” appraiser pursuant to the Council of Foundations, IRS or others.

A CMEA meets and exceeds the experience and training requirements of many governing authorities. A CMEA’s certified report is a reliable, irrefutable and defensible report that holds up to scrutiny with the U.S. Small Business Administration, IRS, courts, CPA’s attorneys and others. Relying on a non-certified report can expose you to increased costs, liability, risk and an unsubstantiated equipment appraisal.

  • Converting From A C Corp To A S Corp – The Tax Code requires an appraisal of the assets.
  • 1031 Exchanges – One of the best kept secrets of the IRS. Assets require a valuation for a like-kind exchange.
  • ESOPS – Initial appraisals must start out with accurate values of tangible assets such as machinery/equipment. Book value is not accurate.
  • Valuations – Book value is not accurate and usually different from Fair Market Value. If the machinery/equipment is not valued properly, the entire business valuation is skewed. Lots of liability!
  • Gifting – Requires an appraisal of the items becoming a gift.
  • Estate Planning – Trusts and Wills require a value of the items.
  • Liquidations – How do effectively and profitably liquidate the assets?
