How Lenders Value Your Equipment?
When applying for financing secured by your equipment, one key factor lenders consider is the valuation - essentially, what your equipment assets are worth.
There are three main approaches lenders use:
1. Fair Market Value - This estimates what price the equipment could fetch on the open market under normal conditions. It assumes a willing buyer and seller with no pressure. This is the highest potential value.
2. Orderly Liquidation Value - This projects what the equipment could sell for in a "going out of business" scenario over 90-180 days. There is some time pressure on the sale.
3. Forced Liquidation Value - This is the lowest value, based on an urgent liquidation in 30 days or less, like a bankruptcy auction. The compressed timeline severely limits potential buyers.
Our asset based lending partners are experts at everything equipment. With over 90 years of finance experience, they take the time to understand your specific equipment and situation.
