Bankruptcy Equipment Appraisals: 5 Steps to Saving Money
Part 1 of 2: Investory & Information
Eventually during a bankruptcy process, the Bankruptcy Attorney will advise procuring a Bankruptcy Equipment Appraisal Report. While this may seem like just one more expense, a USPAP equipment appraisal is critical to your bankruptcy process, whether you own an agricultural business, a manufacturing plant, factory, construction or excavating business, or a speciality production shop.
You already know how important it is to get an experienced qualified equipment appraiser to provide an appraisal report, and a previous post suggested how to get an estimate on how much the appraisal will cost.
Appraising Commercial Trailers in a Demanding Market
Recently I prepared an ag equipment appraisal for a transportation company in the Sacramento Valley. The bulk of the equipment was rolling stock–trucks and agricultural trailers. During my research, I realized that the commercial trailers had increased tremendously in value as the years rolled by. Hopper trailers, in particular, are trading at premium prices right now, and not just in California. Part of the reason trailers don’t lose value as quickly as other agricultural and commercial vehicles is obvious: no engines to break down, no odometers, no hour meters and very few moving parts mean that maintenance is less complicated.
Ag Equipment Appraiser at Colusa Farm Show
February 1 dawned clear and windy, a perfect day for the Colusa Farm Show, just a few miles down the road from our Northern California Equipment Appraisal Office here in Yolo Co. So we set up call forwarding from the office phone and spent the day at “the Granddaddy of Farm Shows,” admiring farm equipment and chatting with dealers, manufacturers, farmers, dairymen, ranchers and other fans of agricultural equipment.
