Inventory Log Sheet for that expensive equipment or household antiques

Inventory Log Description

This inventory log is designed to document valuable assets for insurance and reimbursement purposes. It can be used in both personal and professional settings to safeguard against financial loss in the event of fire, theft, or damage.

For Personal Use (Antiques & Collectibles):

• Record photos, descriptions, history/provenance, purchase details, and appraised values of antiques, fine furniture, artwork, or heirlooms.

• Maintain this log in a secure location (safe deposit box, digital backup) and provide a copy to your homeowners insurance company.

• Proper documentation ensures accurate reimbursement should a claim be filed.

For Business Use (Healthcare Facilities & Equipment Owners):

• Track the value of high-cost medical equipment (e.g., C-Arm units, surgical tables, ultrasound machines, sterilizers, etc.) that represent significant capital investments.

• A single C-Arm, for example, can cost upwards of $100,000 to replace. Documenting these items with photos, purchase history, and appraised values ensures insurance claims are supported with clear evidence.

• This log also supports compliance and audit readiness for healthcare operations, providing a transparent record of capital assets.

Key Benefits:

• Protects against under-valuation in insurance claims.

• Provides verifiable records for replacement cost coverage.

• Serves as a quick reference for business continuity planning and asset management.
