Valuations
Key Considerations when Selecting an Aircraft Appraiser
Aircraft Valuation - Aviation Valuations
Aircraft valuation is a complex process that includes scrutiny of the aircraft’s diverse value points. There are many dynamics, from each aircraft’s unique status to the aviation industry impact in general, that influence the value of an aircraft; such as maintenance, engines, damage, cycle rate, exterior condition, interior condition, avionics, logbooks, regulations, market, etc. Understanding each value point and how it affects the aircraft in relation to the marketplace is paramount in aircraft valuations.

Business Valuations
It is relatively easy to determine the value of interest in a publicly traded business entity. Simply open the Wall Street Journal, locate the stock price and multiply that number by the number of shares. Determining the value of Closely Held Businesses is more challenging because of the market conditions and the industry in which it operates. The definition of a Closely Held Business is a business that is owned by relatively few stockholders (or partners) and is not publicly held, i.e., not traded on a national or local stock exchange or in the over-the-counter market.
While the actual methodology is in valuing publicly traded verses closely held businesses is very similar, there are distinct considerations that must be observed when valuing closely held businesses. Most of these considerations relate to the differentiation of ownership benefits, the quality and availability of information and the market of available buyers.
Using the most widely recognized valuation methods, SAI Valuations arrives at an opinion of the estimated value of the interest in a business entity as of a given point in time. The ownership interest valued may be a company’s common equity or the total equity of invested capital, both equity and debt.
