Professional appraisers can often assist business owners and their accountants both before and after they reach reorganization status. Appropriately experienced appraisers can serve the informational, analytical and assessment need of debtors in possession, of secured and unsecured creditors and even of their accountants. These analyses are designed to identify and maximize all of the elements of business value (both tangible and intangible) to the benefit of all parties in interest to the reorganization.
