How We Value Plant and Equipment Using IVS 300
All valuations follow IVS 300, the international standard for tangible operational assets. We apply the most appropriate method based on the asset and the valuation objective.
- Market Approach — When comparable sales data exists (e.g. forklifts, generators)
- Income Approach — When the asset generates standalone revenue (e.g. rental fleets)
- Cost Approach — When specialised equipment has limited resale data (RCN minus depreciation)
