Certified Appraisals for Commercial & Industrial Assets
Appraisals are required to provide a valuation of an asset, whether it’s machinery, equipment, inventory, and other tangible property. And no matter your selling situation, you need an experienced appraiser by your side before you make any decisions.
When you work with BCL Auctions, you can rely on our certified appraisers to give you the most current and accurate commercial appraisals. As a result, you get an honest valuation for your commercial and industrial assets. After all, it’s one of the reasons why clients have depended on our appraisal services for over 50 years.

What You Can Expect from Appraisal Reports
The BCL commercial appraisal team provides clients in St. Louis and across the country with valuations and appraisals for all types of commercial and industrial equipment, machinery, and inventories. Also, we offer two types of reports:
- Field Appraisal Report – includes an onsite inspection by one of our certified appraisers. In your report you will find onsite inspection details and photographs with a single value number for each tangible asset. Furthermore, the aggregate is also reported as a single number.
- Desktop Appraisal Report – is used to determine value without the expense of an onsite inspection or detailed analysis of the machinery or equipment condition. Instead, we base our valuation on client provided information which may (or may not) include photographs and descriptions of each asset. In this report, you typically find only the aggregate value as a single number rather than a value for each tangible asset.
Privacy & Confidentiality Are Our Hallmarks
Whether it’s a single asset or an entire plant or business, we understand the individualized needs of our clients. And you will find that the BCL Commercial appraisal team places the highest priority on privacy and confidentiality. As a result, our clients have trusted us with their commercial auctions for over 50 years.
When we determine the type of valuation for your commercial appraisals, we base that on your specific needs. The following are the most common used in the valuation of commercial and industrial equipment, machinery, and inventories:
- Fair Market Value – is an opinion expressed in terms of money, at which the property would change hands between a buyer and a seller, neither being under any compulsion to buy or to sell assets and both having reasonable knowledge of relevant facts.
- Orderly Liquidation Value – is an opinion expressed in terms of money, that typically could be realized from a liquidation sale, given a reasonable period to find a purchaser (or purchasers) of commercial or industrial assets, with the seller being compelled to sell on an as-is, where-is basis, as of a specific date. This premise of value reflects the sale of an asset, by a motivated seller, after an adequate marketing period, to sell the property.
- Forced Liquidation Value – is an opinion expressed in terms of money, that typically could be realized from a properly advertised and conducted public auction, with the seller being compelled to sell commercial or industrial assets with a sense of immediacy on an as-is, where-is basis, as of a specific date.
