They appraised an older trailer for me that required a bonded title. They were great with communication and it only took about 2 weeks to get a very nice detailed appraisal report, which finding comps for older trailers is not straight forward. Highly recommend!

FAQ
Food Trailer Appraisal FAQ
What is a food trailer appraisal used for?
A food trailer appraisal establishes a fair market value opinion for equipment financing, insurance coverage or claims, resale negotiations, and business or estate valuations involving a mobile food operation.
What information do you need to appraise my food trailer?
We typically need the VIN or serial number, year, make, and model, a list of installed kitchen and beverage equipment, build-out specifications, current condition, and photos of the exterior, interior, and major equipment.
How do you determine the value of a food trailer?
Value is determined using the sales comparison approach with recent comparable listings, alongside the cost approach for the trailer's build-out and installed equipment. We factor in age, condition, equipment quality, and regional market demand.
Do you appraise food trailers with custom kitchen build-outs?
Yes. Custom cooking equipment, refrigeration, ventilation systems, and other build-out specific to your operation are factored into the valuation.
Can a food trailer appraisal support an equipment loan?
Yes. Our USPAP-compliant reports are prepared to meet lender and SBA financing collateral requirements.
