Valuation of assets is the cornerstone on which lenders provide financing. Our valuation services support our clients in mergers, acquisitions, liquidations, and many other transactions.

Tangible & Intangible Asset Appraisals
To meet routine cash flow demands, many businesses find the need to take out loans or obtain lines of credit. Stable small and mid-sized companies that have physical assets or digital assets [intellectual property] of value, often obtain a line of credit to ensure they can cover their operational costs, including payroll expenses, manufacturing costs, new equipment purchases, etc.

If, however, the company seeking the line of credit is not able to show ample cash flow or cash assets to cover a loan, the lender may instead offer to approve the loan with the stipulation that the company’s physical assets or digital assets be used as collateral.

The terms and conditions of an asset-based loan, depending on the type and value of the assets offered as security. Lenders prefer highly liquid collateral (such as securities), which may be readily converted to cash should the borrower default on the payments. Loans using physical assets are considered riskier; therefore, the maximum loan amount is typically considerably less than the book value of the assets.  Interest rates vary widely, depending on the applicant’s credit history, cash flow, and length of time doing business.
