Eton delivers defensible, audit-ready machinery and equipment valuations for mergers, loan approvals, and tax compliance.
Machinery and equipment valuations present unique challenges, from rapidly evolving technology that affects obsolescence to specialized markets with limited comparable sales data.
At Eton, we bring the technical depth and market insight these complex valuations demand. With Big 4-trained professionals and a portfolio of 10,000+ valuations, clients count on us to provide credible, audit-ready results that reflect the full value of their assets.
We’ve handled thousands of valuations across industries and asset types, from standalone tools and construction equipment to complex fleets used in operations. This extensive experience ensures we deliver reports you can rely on in negotiations and that stand up to audit, legal, and board review.
We don’t rely on generic assumptions or one-size-fits-all templates. Every valuation is built around the specifics: The equipment you have, how it’s been used, and why the valuation is needed. We apply the most appropriate method, adjust for what actually affects value, and deliver a report that reflects your equipment’s role in your business and the market.
Other firms may push you through automated systems or expect you to make sense of the process yourself. But with Eton, you'll work directly with a senior specialist who understands the nuances of machinery and equipment valuation and takes the time to walk you through it clearly. This clarity ensures you always understand what’s happening and why it matters.
Our team includes Big Four alumni, securities lawyers, and Chartered Financial Analysts, combining elite expertise with boutique firm efficiency. You get the same level of rigor and accuracy you'd expect from top-tier firms without the inflated fees or drawn-out timelines.

Machinery and equipment valuations can be complex. Technology evolves quickly, markets shift, and reliable sales data isn’t always available. If these factors aren’t handled correctly, the valuation may not hold up under audit, may be challenged in a legal dispute, or may fail to meet tax compliance requirements.
Each of these issues carries its own risks, whether it’s penalties from regulators, setbacks in an M&A deal, or problems securing financing.
That’s why experience matters. Skilled professionals know how to factor in depreciation, address different types of obsolescence, and interpret market conditions to deliver valuations that are both defensible and decision-ready.
At Eton, we’ve completed more than 10,000 valuations, giving us the insight to apply the right methods and deliver reports you can rely on when the stakes are high. Contact us for a free consultation.
At Eton, we typically complete machinery and equipment valuations within 10 business days. If you’re working with a tight deadline, expedited options are available.
Here’s how the process works:
The cost of a machinery and equipment valuation depends on factors like the type of equipment, the number of assets involved, and how quickly you need the report. A small set of tools will require less work than a large, diverse fleet of specialized equipment.
