Valuation Services

Desktop Value Analysis
VCG provides Desktop Analysis Reports for determining current and projecting future Fair Market Values, Orderly Liquidation Values and Forced Liquidation Values for various equipment types. We normally conclude the Desktop Analysis without the benefit of a physical inspection and certain other criteria requisite to an appraisal. The purpose of the report is to provide guidelines of valuation only, and the accuracy of these guidelines is determined by the information provided and the time constraints inherent in the rendering of the opinion.

VCG offers two types of written analyses.  The basic Desktop Analysis includes the definition of the value concept(s) subject to the assignment and the value estimate(s).  The more comprehensive Desktop Analysis includes the definition of the value concept(s) subject to the assignment, the value estimate(s) and a written narrative.  The narrative will include but is not limited to the equipment application, its estimated economic useful life based upon utilization, variables that may impact the equipment value, the demand for the equipment in the secondary market and an estimate of the remarketing period. Return to the top

Field Appraisals
VCG provides field appraisal services by appraisers who are accredited appraisers and members of the American Society of Appraisers and have extensive experience with a variety of equipment disciplines.  A field appraisal will include verification and a determination of the physical condition of the equipment subject to the assignment.  The report includes a description of the property, the value methodology applied, the valuation date of the appraisal and the conclusion of value(s).  The appraisal report is prepared in accordance with the requirements of the Principles of Appraisal Practice and Code of Ethics of the American Society of Appraisers and the Uniform Standards of Professional Appraisal Practice (USPAP) of the Appraisal Institute. Return to the top
