Common assignments

Situations where clear value matters most.

Financing & asset based lending

Support collateral review, refinancing, lending decisions, and other situations where dependable machinery and equipment values matter.

Transactions, disputes & planning

Insurance, tax & liquidation

Establish supportable values for insurance needs, ad valorem tax matters, orderly liquidation, and forced liquidation scenarios.

Report scope

Choose the right level of reporting.

Not every assignment needs the same level of inspection and documentation. MRI helps determine the right report type based on the intended use, timing, and level of support required.

Field appraisal report

Best when condition, configuration, and documentation matter most. Includes an on-site inspection and is typically the right fit for higher-stakes assignments.

Desktop appraisal report

Best when a more efficient opinion of value is needed without an on-site inspection. Based on photos and equipment details provided by the client.

Basis of value

The valuation basis should match the assignment.

Different situations call for different standards of value. These are the most common definitions used in machinery and equipment appraisal work.

Forced Liquidation Value
The value realized when assets are sold piecemeal under duress at public auction.
Orderly Liquidation Value
The value realized when assets are sold over a defined marketing period with commercially reasonable exposure.
Market Value
The price at which assets change hands between a willing buyer and seller, with neither under compulsion.
Orderly Liquidation Value In Place
The value of assets sold under duress but purchased in place to remain in operation.
