Don't see your equipment? It is still covered.
A brewery, a print shop, a machine shop, a logistics yard, an imaging center, a collision bay. Whatever you operate, the same USPAP discipline and the same certified appraiser stand behind the number.
- Healthcare, medical & dental: hospitals, clinics, practices and laboratories
- Automotive: dealerships, service and collision centers, fleets and shops
- General machinery & equipment: manufacturing, fabrication, processing, construction and more
- Every appraisal: independent, USPAP-compliant, prepared by a NEBB-certified Machinery & Equipment Appraiser (CMEA)
Why you need it
The right number depends on why you are asking.
The same equipment can carry different values depending on the reason behind the appraisal: a loan, an SBA deal, a wind-down, an acquisition, a dispute, an insurance schedule or a tax filing. We determine and defend the premise of value the situation calls for.
Common questions
Answers, up front.
Which industries do you appraise?
We appraise all business machinery and equipment: manufacturing, fabrication, construction, agriculture, food processing, printing and plastics, logistics and warehousing, dealerships and service centers, hospitals and clinics. Medical and automotive assets are where our knowledge runs deepest. If your equipment is specialized, it is valued by an appraiser who knows it.
What if my equipment is unusual or hard to value?
It is still covered. Clinical and automotive assets get the deepest focus because they are the hardest to value; everything else is appraised as general machinery and equipment, to the same USPAP standard by the same certified appraiser.
Do you appraise equipment nationwide?
Yes. Lukes & Lukes is a national machinery and equipment appraisal firm. We work as a desktop appraisal from your asset list and photographs, or on-site across one or more locations, anywhere in the United States.
Are your appraisals accepted by banks, the IRS and the courts?
Yes. Every report is USPAP-compliant, prepared by a NEBB-certified Machinery & Equipment Appraiser (CMEA), and built to withstand lender, SBA, IRS, audit and legal review, regardless of the specialty.
