ASA offers the profession's only specialty in Going Concern Valuation. This specialty is designed for those appraisers who value complex commercial real estate with a business component, such as car washes, fueling stations/c-stores, and lodging properties on a regular basis. Appraisers in this specialty have the knowledge and understanding of when (and when not) to properly allocate/segregate the value components as required by lending institutions, and the ability to analyze their effect on value as required by USPAP.
ASA's Going Concern Program is comprised of two courses (RP401, Allocating Components in Going Concerns Appraisals and RP400, Going Concerns Appraisals Case Studies Appraisals) and was developed in response to requirements impacting SBA-backed business loans and moves by financial institutions, both of which have provided new opportunities for ASA-designated appraisers who specialize in Going Concern Appraisals.
