CEA provides consulting services to assist in any variety of machinery and equipment or inventory related valuation requirements. Recent examples of our capabilities and areas of expertise are highlighted by the following examples.

A national ferrous scrap recycling company contacted CEA to represent the company in an effort to reduce their Tangible Personal Property Taxes in the state of Florida. By providing accurate and documented market information contrary to the local counties assessed value, CEA saved the client tens of thousands of dollars in taxes.

A national bank requested CEA evaluate an initial buyout offering for the collateral in possession of a failed business. After analyzing the machinery, equipment and inventory which comprised a majority of the assets under consideration, CEA determined the initial offer was insufficient. The bank was able to utilize our information to negotiate a substantially higher settlement.

CEA has accumulated years of experience regarding valuation assignments that go beyond the traditional appraisal format. Whether it is a walk through value opinion, a desktop appraisal update, support of an ad valorem tax appeal, expert witness testimonial, or any valuation consideration necessitating a third party opinion, CEA is experienced and capable to assist in meeting your specific requirements.
