Finance Valuations

Independent pre-lend plant & equipment finance valuations for banks, lenders, receivers and liquidators across Australia. Forced Sale and Fair Market Value reports.

Overview

What It Is

A finance valuation provides lenders with an independent, defensible assessment of the value of plant and equipment offered as security for lending. We prepare reports addressing both Fair Market Value and Forced Sale Value, giving banks, financiers, receivers and liquidators the certainty they need to make sound decisions.

Our reports are prepared to professional standards and are widely accepted by major lenders and insolvency practitioners across Australia.

The Value

Lenders need to understand the realistic recovery value of secured assets before advancing funds — and how those values hold up in a distressed sale scenario. An independent finance valuation protects both the lender and the borrower by ensuring lending decisions are based on credible, market-tested figures rather than optimistic book values.

  • Support responsible, well-secured lending decisions
  • Understand both orderly and forced-sale recovery positions
  • Provide receivers and liquidators with realistic disposal expectations
  • Reduce risk on pre-lend security and asset-backed facilities
  • Obtain reports accepted by major banks and financiers
