Valuing Inventory for close

by a searcher

How should one go about verifying the value of inventory being acquired? Should a third-party appraisal include this, or should the operator review seller purchase orders placed with the manufacturer? What's the best way to go about doing this?

Depending on the amount of inventory and the complexity you could do it yourself. Don't complicate it. consider having the buyer warranty the invoentory level at a minimum amount and have a 90 day hold back to verify inventory post closing.
