An expert valuation of your company, supported by real market transactions, can help determine what your company is really worth. AccuVal has a deep understanding of various enterprises and extensive industry experience, enabling us to provide accurate evaluations and trustworthy guidance you can rely on. INTANGIBLES AND INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY While it is impossible to reach out and touch intangibles and intellectual property (IP), these often overlooked assets can be identified and frequently have substantial value. AccuVal uses a variety of proven valuation methodologies and keen business acumen to turn intangible assets into tangible value. Our professionals are immersed in the marketplace and benefit from the practical experience of having bought, sold and saved companies. This enables our experts to recognize value that is invisible to others, which is utilized to deliver clarity to decision-makers and increase the value of companies to potential buyers or lenders. MACHINERY AND EQUIPMENT When conducting an appraisal, it is not enough to simply identify an asset. Proper valuation comes from understanding the intricacies of the equipment and recognizing their functions within the business. With decades of experience, AccuVal’s experts appraise machinery and equipment across more than 100 industry segments. Appraisals are fully compliant with the Uniform Standards of Professional Appraisal Practice (USPAP). AccuVal expedites the valuation process using proprietary, state-of-the-art information management systems fully integrated with the world’s largest database of transaction and market data. The strength of this database, combined with the unparalleled field experience of our appraisal team, results in a well-documented, thoroughly supported appraisal report that can be relied upon to make business decisions.
- 2. INVENTORY Inventory is a valuable resource upon which companies often fund a portion of their working capital requirements. In-depth understanding of manufacturing allows AccuVal appraisers to fully recognize the value associated with attributes of raw materials, work-in-process and finished goods inventories sold through wholesale and retail distribution. Appraisers can also determine the value of replacement parts businesses and differentiate the value of individual product lines. AccuVal’s experts contrast clients’ internal performance with the competitive marketplace and advise businesses on how to improve inventory management to increase return on investment.
