A Look into the Future of the Appraisal Profession

In today’s litigious business environment, stakeholders in the appraisal process, as users of the work products of opposing appraisers, often find themselves frustrated.
Ultimately, this frustration results in stakeholders averaging differing opinions of value, without the benefit of a means to assess the credibility of the foundation upon which each opinion of value rests – which may be tantamount to saying that the good, the bad and the ugly can somehow be suitably reconciled on the road towards achieving a credible finding to rely upon. Consequently, many stakeholders in the appraisal process are now reluctant to accept the work of appraisers. Nonetheless, timely decisions need to be made concerning matters involving the determination of value. From this state of frustration, a renewed interest in the field of appraisal review has evolved.

The U.S. Small Business Administration has once again updated its primary policy document related to so-called “change of ownership” loans which often require the services of “independent” and “qualified” business appraisers which include Certified Business Appraisers (CBAs). After a tumultuous six month period involving their March, 2009 decision to implement a “goodwill cap” associated with business acquisition financing, the SBA has “loosened” their grip in this area by issuing SOP50-10(5)(B) with an effective date of 10-1-09.
