Valuation of stocks
Valuing an inventory is more complex than it seems. Seasonal items, obsolete products, commodities that fluctuate in price, all factors that determine true value. NTAB combines physical inspection with our proprietary digital valuation database for an accurate and objective valuation.
When do you get a stock appraised?
Most common situations where you need an independent stock appraisal:
Financing & credit
Banks and asset-based lenders require independent valuation of stocks as collateral. NTAB provides the rationale for new financing or review of existing credit facilities.
Financial statements & audit
A current inventory valuation is essential for reliable financial statements. We prepare an independent valuation report that meets applicable standards.
Business acquisition or merger
In an acquisition, you want to know what you’re buying. An objective stock appraisal prevents overpayment and is the basis for negotiating the purchase price.
Bankruptcy & restart
Administrators rely on NTAB for accurate valuation of inventory. We determine both liquidation value and value at continued operation.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is inventory counting mandatory for annual accounts?
According to Article 2:10 of the Civil Code and the Guidelines for Annual Reporting, you are required to keep accurate inventory records. An annual count and correct inventory valuation for the annual accounts are essential. NTAB helps with a reliable valuation that complies with laws and regulations.
What is a healthy inventory value?
A healthy inventory value is balanced with sales, liquidity and storage capacity. Too much inventory means risk of value loss and unnecessary costs, while too little inventory leads to missed revenue. Together with you, NTAB analyzes the composition and value of your inventory so that you can target optimization without these stocks lapsing into obsolescence. For the financier, an analysis of this is also important to clearly understand the true value of the inventory in a liquidation.
Why is a stock appraisal important?
A stock valuation is more than a number. It is a reflection of your business operations. NTAB helps companies looking to sell, restructure, or seek financing, with clear appraisals based on liquidation value, market value, and marketability. Whether you’re applying for financing or considering selling, a clear valuation of stock helps make better decisions.
What is the difference between market value and liquidation value of a stock?
Market value is what a stock will fetch in a normal, considered sale. The liquidation value is the expected proceeds in a forced sale under time pressure, such as bankruptcy. Depending on the purpose of the appraisal, we determine which value basis applies.
How long does a stock appraisal take?
Turnaround time depends on the size and complexity of the inventory. A standard appraisal with physical inspection and report is usually completed within a few business days. In urgent situations, such as a relaunch after bankruptcy, we work on short notice.
For what purposes is an NTAB appraisal report appropriate?
Our appraisal report is useful for financing applications to banks and asset-based lenders, audits, corporate acquisitions, mergers, restructurings and bankruptcy proceedings. The report meets applicable standards and is certified.
