Get an asset valuation for restructuring or insolvency proceedings

When a business is under financial pressure, accurate asset values are not a formality; they are the basis on which every major decision gets made. Whether a company pursues a Company Voluntary Arrangement, enters administration, or faces liquidation depends partly on what its assets can actually realise. Secured lenders, creditors, and insolvency practitioners all need figures they can rely on and defend.

BTG Eddisons Asset Sales provides rapid-turnaround asset valuations for restructuring and insolvency proceedings across a wide range of industrial and commercial sectors. Valuations are led by Richard Temple MRICS, a Chartered Machinery Valuation Surveyor and Registered Valuer registered with the Royal Institution of Chartered Surveyors since 2011, with direct experience working alongside insolvency practitioners, administrators, and secured lenders.

This page describes a professional asset valuation service. It does not constitute legal or insolvency advice. Directors facing financial distress should take advice from a licensed insolvency practitioner or solicitor before making decisions about a Company Voluntary Arrangement, administration, or liquidation.

How do asset valuations impact restructuring and insolvency decisions?

The numbers matter. Whether a company pursues a CVA, enters administration, or faces liquidation depends partly on what capital its assets are able to generate. Secured lenders base their stance on security valuations, creditors weighing rescue proposals need figures to compare against liquidation scenarios, and administrators fulfilling their duties under the Insolvency Act 1986 need defensible figures that demonstrate they have acted in creditors' collective interests.

Insolvency practitioners are also required to follow Statements of Insolvency Practice when conducting appointments, several of which touch directly on the obligation to obtain and consider asset valuations. Without reliable figures, decision-making becomes guesswork. With them, all parties can assess their positions rationally.

Who needs an asset valuation for restructuring and insolvency?

Insolvency practitioners

Licensed insolvency practitioners appointed to cases must value assets accurately to discharge their duties and demonstrate they have acted properly throughout their appointments. Our valuations are prepared with the IP's reporting requirements in mind, giving practitioners clear, defensible figures for creditor communications.

Company directors

Directors facing financial distress need to understand what their assets are genuinely worth before deciding between rescue options and formal proceedings. An independent valuation supports informed decision-making at a critical time. Directors should take advice from a licensed insolvency practitioner or solicitor before acting on any valuation in a distress context.

Secured lenders

Banks and finance providers holding charges over business assets instruct valuations to quantify their exposure and assess whether to support a restructuring or enforce their security. We provide both market value and forced sale assessments so lenders can model different recovery scenarios.

Solicitors and professional advisers

Advisers guiding distressed businesses through their options use independent valuations to build a realistic picture of what is available and what different outcomes are likely to deliver for creditors.

Why are accurate valuations critical during restructuring and insolvency?

  • Support creditor negotiations Realistic asset figures allow meaningful discussions about what creditors might recover under different scenarios and whether proposed arrangements represent fair value.
  • Quantify security positions Lenders holding fixed or floating charges need current valuations to calculate their likely recovery under enforcement or insolvency.
  • Guide disposal strategies Practitioners deciding between piecemeal sales, packaged disposals, or trading the business need to understand what different approaches are likely to raise.
  • Demonstrate compliance with statutory duties A professionally prepared valuation supports the practitioner's obligation under the Insolvency Act 1986 to act in creditors' collective interests and realise the best value reasonably obtainable.
  • Stand up to scrutiny In contentious appointments, creditors or courts may challenge the basis on which assets were valued, and decisions were made. A report prepared by a named, qualified valuer provides a defensible evidential record.

How do I arrange an asset valuation for restructuring or insolvency?

Call 0333 200 2041, email [email protected], or complete the form at the bottom of this page. We understand the time pressures that insolvency appointments create and will prioritise your instruction accordingly.

An expert visits the site to carry out an on-site inspection. Each asset is assessed individually, with its condition and saleability recorded and photographed for the report.

The resulting valuation report sets out each asset with a description, condition note, photograph, and assessed value on the agreed basis. Market value and forced sale value are both included where required.

Reports are prepared to the professional standard that insolvency practitioners, creditors, and courts expect.

Frequently asked questions about asset valuations for restructuring and insolvency

Richard Template Assets

Richard Temple

Director

“In an insolvency appointment, the valuation is often the first document everyone looks at. Creditors, lenders, and practitioners all want to know the same thing: what is this actually worth, and what will it actually sell for? Those are two different questions, and both answers need to be defensible.”
