BANKRUPTCY
According to the SBA, small businesses can fail for a variety of reasons. From lack of capital or experience to an unsuitable location. Some failed companies must file for bankruptcy when their debts exceed available cash to assets. Many don’t realize that their assets do have some value. This is why a certified appraisal from a qualified expert can be so valuable.

This is the value used in bankruptcy proceedings. This method of valuation is the one that is acceptable under bankruptcy codes. Bankruptcy is an incredibly stressful process. System Associates LLC is an experienced Appraiser that can lend a hand and help you through the process.
