Maximize return on and return of investment
Effective asset management requires a systematic process of evaluating the performance of businesses and business divisions, product lines and production lines, inventory mix and utilization, and real estate utility and operating costs. AccuVal has the complete mix of valuation and advisory skills necessary to assist companies in making important decisions that impact the value and utility of business assets throughout their entire life cycle. Whether you are buying, selling, redeploying or repurposing assets, AccuVal is equipped to provide the information and expertise needed to improve profitability and boost your bottom line.
Asset Disposition
Knowing when and how to sell assets is one of the keys to maximizing ROI. That is why LiquiTec, AccuVal’s sister company, works closely with clients to prepare a short- and long-term plan to sell non-strategic and surplus assets. By mindfully planning for dispositions, time is available to match motivated buyers with the assets being sold. This may involve a variety of disposition methodologies – business brokerage; bundling product line dedicated assets and selling them through private treaty; conducting orderly liquidation and auction sales; or some innovative combination of these strategies. Regardless of how the assets are sold, we achieve the best results by executing the correct strategy and keeping the client’s best interests in mind.

Therefore, optimizing contributions made by all business assets creates huge advantage for corporations. Companies realize financial rewards by timing the purchase and disposition of machinery to benefit from the technological advancements of new equipment while maximizing the sale price of old; reducing inventory on-hand by improving turnover and mix; getting the most from the investment in real property by maximizing depreciation and lowering taxes; speeding up the collection of accounts receivables; and selling off non-strategic intellectual property.

Asset Tagging and Tracking
Property records can be difficult to interpret because descriptions are short, frequently abbreviated and occasionally nonexistent. This often results in the overpayment of property taxes, inadequate insurance coverage, the inability to show proof of loss in a disaster and inaccurate financial reporting, to name a few. AccuVal can easily remedy this situation by creating accurate property records, including detailed descriptions that correlate to bar codes affixed to the assets. The cost to tag and track your assets can be justified by the savings generated and risk averted. The new system ensures an accurate accounting for future additions, transfers and retirements.
