Asset Based Lending Valuations - Plant & Machinery and Inventory

SHM have a dedicated department of plant and machinery and inventory valuers specialising in all aspects of loan security valuation for finance purposes. Recognised as one of the UK's leading firms, SHM provides asset finance advice to professionals, banks and asset based lending institutions.

With a commercially tailored approach, SHM offer a proactive service that includes:

Valuations for sale and leaseback

Manufacturing businesses in many industries have realised that their plant and machinery assets can be utilised for raising capital. The process involves the valuation of the assets by a professional firm recognised by the lending institution, after which the lending institution will advance a percentage of the valuation figure and retain title to the plant and equipment or inventory, until such time as the advance is repaid in full. SHM have extensive experience in this field and are recognised by the majority of asset based lenders providing sale and lease back facilities.

MBO and MBI Valuations

Many management buy-out / buy-in's now rely upon the company's plant and machinery assets as part of the capital raising process. Introducing SHM at an early stage will bring added value to the transaction, as the valuations can be used for both formulating the offer and lending purposes.

Pre-funding Security Valuations and Documentation

In an addition to providing valuation advice, SHM also provides schedules for documentation to be incorporated in the finance agreement.

Depreciation Profiles and Residual Valuations

Residual valuation is a very important consideration when writing operating leases. SHM, with their large network of specialist trades and internal databases, have extensive experience in all sectors of industry and are constantly reviewing sectors of industry for price change, market and product change, brand strength, future economic and sector cycle changes. Depreciation profiles may also be incorporated in to the valuations to assist credit committees to access risk at different stages throughout the finance term.

Market Commentary and Recovery Strategy

SHM provides accurate market commentary and recovery strategies within their reports which gives clients an understanding of market conditions, recoverability, costs and risk issues at the time of valuation.

Industry and Market Overviews

Many finance companies now require Industry and Market overviews for vendor finance programmes. SHM can provide detailed reports with sufficient information to assist credit committee's decisions. These reports are also used by finance companies who may feel over exposed in one particular sector or asset.

Regular Valuation Updates

SHM are happy to provide valuation updates at intervals to suit the client's requirements.
