At Phi Equipment Services, we specialize in the appraisal and valuation of industrial machines and installations. Our certified experts determine the real market value, replacement value, or liquidation value, providing essential certainty for business acquisitions, mergers, insurance matters, loan applications, and sales.

Purposes of Machine Valuation

• Insurance: Determining the new value or replacement value to prevent underinsurance in case of damage.
• Company Takeover/Sale: Establishing a market-conforming price, where the real market value (Actual Economic Value) often exceeds the book value.
• Financing/Lease: Providing insight into asset values for loan applications.
• Bankruptcy/Auction: Appraising the proceeds value at sale.

What We Appraise

We evaluate the entire machine park, including production lines, installations, and often rolling stock such as forklifts and aerial work platforms. Lease equipment is also included in our valuations.

Value Concepts

• Replacement Value: The cost to replace a similar machine.
• Market Value (Actual Economic Value): What the machine would yield upon sale in its current state.
• New Value: The value of a new machine.

Our Valuation Process

Our certified appraisers inspect the technical condition, operating hours, and maintenance history. We utilize current market databases for accurate valuations, resulting in a detailed appraisal report.

When to Get a Valuation

We recommend periodic valuations every 3-5 years, or during significant business changes such as relocations or investments.
