Debtor-in-possession financing
Collateral values to support DIP facilities and cash-collateral negotiations.
Appraisals for restructuring & bankruptcy.
In a workout or a filing, every party needs a neutral, defensible number. We deliver USPAP-compliant equipment values, OLV, FLV and net OLV, for DIP financing, creditor recovery analysis and plan confirmation. Independent, on the record.
The short answer
What value is used in a restructuring or bankruptcy?
It depends on the question. Secured creditors and DIP lenders typically look at orderly and forced liquidation value (OLV/FLV) and net OLV to size recovery; a going-concern scenario may call for fair market or in-place value. We determine the premise the situation and the court require, value the equipment under USPAP, and stand behind the report.
Neutrality and documentation are everything here, the report has to withstand scrutiny from parties whose interests don't align.

Common questions
Restructuring appraisals, answered.
Do I need an equipment appraisal for a bankruptcy?
Often yes. Secured creditors, DIP lenders, trustees and the court rely on an independent USPAP-compliant equipment value to size recovery, support financing and test a plan.
Which value applies in a workout?
Usually orderly and forced liquidation value (and net OLV) for recovery analysis; a going-concern scenario may use fair market or in-place value. We determine and document the right premise.
Will the report hold up in court?
Yes. Reports are USPAP-compliant, prepared by a NEBB-certified CMEA, name the intended users, and are documented to withstand scrutiny from opposing parties.
