The Branford Group is a recognized leader in surplus industrial inventory and equipment auctions and valuations.

An equipment appraisal is more than a number in an email. It’s a documented valuation your lender, auditor, and insurer can rely on.

It includes:

• Scope of work
• Site inspection notes
• Valuation methodology
• Comparable sales data
• Signed certification

If you’ve never commissioned an appraisal, the process can feel like a black box. Now you know what goes into it.

Equipment on a manufacturer’s floor is often one of its largest assets — yet one of the least documented.

So when does someone finally ask, “What is it actually worth?”

Here are five common situations:

Asset-based lending — when a lender needs to size a borrowing base.
Refinancing — when collateral hasn’t been valued in years.
SBA lending — when a current valuation is required.
Insurance — when an equipment schedule hasn’t been updated since installation.
Buy-sell agreements — when business partners need a valuation they can both rely on.

If you’re a lender, banker, or CPA working with a client in any of these situations, The Branford Group provides equipment valuations backed by real-world market data and industry expertise.

The question isn’t always “What is this machine worth?”

Sometimes the real question is: “Worth what, under what circumstances?”

The same machine can have different values depending on how much time there is to sell it:

Fair Market Value — a willing buyer, a willing seller, and reasonable time to transact.

Orderly Liquidation Value — the equipment needs to be sold, but there is enough time to market it properly.

Forced Liquidation Value — the equipment needs to sell quickly, with limited time to find buyers.

Same machine. Same condition. Same market. Different assumptions. Different values.

A lender, insurer, and company evaluating a plant closure may each need a different valuation.

The right valuation starts with understanding the question
