In 2011, Desktop Equipment Appraisals launched their operations, establishing a notable record of estimating over a billion dollars’ worth of industrial machinery and hefty equipment. This impressive portfolio stretches across the United States, Canada, and Mexico, involving appraisals of substantial fixed assets in various industries. Furthermore, we facilitate the global transaction of large-scale capital equipment.

Managed by ASA member professionals, Desktop Equipment Appraisals takes pride in being a Master Certified machinery and equipment appraiser. We maintain up-to-date MSHA 5000-23 and TWIC credentials, granting us the essential access to mining operations and seaport facilities.

Every appraisal produced by our certified desktop equipment appraiser adheres to the rigorous guidelines laid out in USPAP Standards 9 & 10 (specifically for Business Valuations) and 7 & 8 (for Machinery & Equipment/Business Personal Property). These standards are enacted by the United States Congress and enforced by the Appraisal Foundation, serving as the benchmark for appraisal practices.

Our Desktop Equipment Appraisals, which are impeccably in line with USPAP guidelines, are unquestionable, inviolable, and are recognized and accepted broadly across government, legal, and lending institutions, as well as by public accounting and business valuation experts. Our team of appraisers comprises highly competent professionals bearing credentials from esteemed bodies like the American Society of Appraisers, International Society of Business Appraisers, National Association of Certified Valuators & Analysts, and the NEBB Institute. Furthermore, they are supplemented with advanced training from the Institute of Business Appraisers (IBA), the International Business Brokers Association (IBBA), National Association of Government Guaranteed Lenders (NAGGL), and the Institute of Real Estate Management (IREM). Each of our appraisers fulfills the qualifications stipulated by the IRS, Council of Foundations, and the U.S. Small Business Administration.
