I hear the phrase “the value is the value” oftentimes when discussing appraisal work with those not familiar with the profession. With machinery and equipment appraisals, the primary differences in value are fairly straightforward. They tend to correlate to the approach you most heavily rely upon and the definition of value that's estimated. Fair Market Value - Installed will drive a considerably higher value than any type of liquidation premise.

The old adages that "cash is king" and "you can’t spend profits" still hold true today. But however well-known these sayings might be, it requires a change in mindset to properly implement a cash flow management system that predicts your business's runaway as accurately as possible. Key to this new mindset is understanding the difference between the Statement of Cash Flows, a historical look at the source and uses of cash, and the Cash Flow Statement, which uses transaction history and forward-l

Business owners considering selling their business as a stock or asset sale at a gain often wonder if there is a way to minimize the tax impact in the year of sale. The good news is that if you receive at least one payment after the tax year of the sale, then the gain will be recognized when you receive each payment, therefore allowing the business owner the option to defer the gain.
