Independent valuation reports and collateral valuations for banks, leasing companies and lending institutions – reliable, on schedule and specialised in unusual assets.
When granting loans, structuring leasing agreements or managing collateral portfolios, banks, leasing companies, lending institutions and other financial service providers face one central challenge: they need robust, independent and verifiable valuations of the assets pledged as collateral.
Our specialised reports for financial service providers deliver exactly that basis. We assess vehicles, fairground equipment, temporary structures ("Fliegende Bauten") and special machinery using recognised methods and determine the current market value as well as – where required – the actual cash value, the replacement value and any risks affecting the realisation of the asset.
As a firm of independent experts focused on specialised and niche assets, we bring the expertise that standard valuation tools and non-specialist valuers cannot provide in this segment.

From granting a loan to taking back a leased asset – our reports can be used at every stage of the financing process.
Before a loan is granted, a robust valuation of the pledged collateral is indispensable. Our report provides a verifiably derived market value that serves as the basis for lending limits and credit decisions – and minimises default risk.
When structuring leasing agreements, an independent report creates clarity about the asset's value at the start of the contract. On lease return it documents the current condition and residual value – objectively and verifiably for all parties.
For the ongoing management of collateral portfolios, regular reports supply up-to-date market values and help to spot changes in value early. This matters particularly for assets subject to economic or seasonal swings, such as fairground installations or special-purpose vehicles.
When taking over loan portfolios or reviewing existing collateral as part of a due diligence, the report provides a neutral assessment of the real realisable value – taking market developments, condition and marketability into account.
In the event of insolvency or enforcement, an up-to-date report is the basis for a realistic estimate of the proceeds. With specialised assets such as fairground installations or special-purpose vehicles in particular, book values and actual market values often differ considerably.
Correctly accounting for leased or financed assets in the annual accounts requires current, verifiable valuations. Our report provides the documentation auditors and tax advisers need.
A report for financial service providers contains every figure needed for financing, leasing and credit decisions. These include the market value, the actual cash value and the replacement value, along with a verifiable assessment of risk and marketability.
Our promise: Reliable reports delivered on schedule – at short notice if needed. Throughout Germany as well as in the Netherlands and Belgium.
The price currently achievable on the open market as at the valuation date – the basis for purchase, sale and all market-related decisions.
The cost of acquiring an equivalent asset as well as the actual cash value taking age, condition and wear into account – relevant for insurance aspects and risk assessment.
An assessment of how readily the asset can be liquidated on the market: how quickly and at what price is it actually saleable in an enforcement scenario? Particularly relevant for specialised assets.
Photo documentation, technical condition survey, market analysis and a verifiable derivation of every figure – ready for auditors, supervisory authorities and internal compliance.
Our strength lies exactly where standard valuation tools fail: fairground equipment, temporary structures and special-purpose vehicles.
Fairground equipment and temporary structures ("Fliegende Bauten") are particularly demanding to value as financing collateral. Their market value is subject to seasonal swings, depends heavily on manufacturer, condition, the official safety inspection required for temporary structures ("Gebrauchsabnahme" under German state building regulations), and on conversions and modernisations – and can hardly be assessed correctly without deep market knowledge.
As a firm of independent experts with decades of experience in the travelling showmen's trade, we know the market in Germany, the Netherlands and Belgium precisely – and deliver valuation reports and collateral valuations that banks and leasing companies can rely on.
In vehicle financing, a robust market value is the decisive figure. For classic cars, vehicles with bespoke conversions, special bodies or commercially used utility vehicles, standard valuation tools often fail to deliver reliable results – this is where the judgement of an independent expert is needed.
We assess every vehicle class – from cars and utility vehicles through lorries, vans and motorhomes to classic cars and special-purpose vehicles – and deliver reports that stand up to the requirements of banks, leasing companies and auditors.
We determine the market value (open market value) as at the valuation date and – where required – the actual cash value and replacement value, supplemented by a verifiable assessment of risk and marketability. These figures give banks and leasing companies a robust basis for credit and financing decisions.
We work reliably and on schedule. As a rule the report is ready within a few working days of the inspection. Where the need is urgent – for instance as part of a time-critical credit decision – appointments at short notice and express reports are also possible.
Yes. We also offer the valuation of entire asset portfolios – leasing fleets or collateral holdings, for example. You benefit from efficient processes and a consistent valuation methodology across all assets.
Our reports are prepared using recognised valuation methods, are fully documented and verifiably derived. They are suitable as a basis for annual accounts, audits and regulatory requirements.
For lending institutions an independent report by an external expert is often mandatory from a regulatory perspective – and it strengthens your legal position vis-à-vis borrowers, insolvency administrators and supervisory authorities. Internal estimates do not offer that certainty.
We prepare reports throughout Germany as well as in the Netherlands and Belgium – particularly relevant for financial service providers financing fairground equipment or vehicles from the international showmen's trade.
