When a business enters insolvency, its assets are typically sold to raise funds for creditors. The insolvency practitioner responsible for the case, whether that is an administrator, liquidator, or receiver, has a statutory duty under the Insolvency Act 1986 to realise the best value reasonably obtainable for those assets.
BTG Eddisons Asset Sales works with practitioners across all types of formal insolvency processes, including creditors' voluntary liquidation, compulsory liquidation, administration, and administrative receivership. Whatever the process, our role remains the same. Value the assets, identify the right disposal route, and manage the sale from instruction through to site clearance.
If you are handling the insolvency or liquidation proceedings for a client, get in touch for bespoke advice on how to raise the most capital from their assets.

Whether you are acting on behalf of a business disposing of plant and machinery, metalworking equipment, woodworking machinery, or the entire contents of a factory, a professionally managed asset sale can deliver more than most clients expect:
Insolvency and liquidation sales offer buyers access to plant and machinery, commercial vehicles, catering equipment, retail stock, office equipment, and more, typically at below replacement cost. Stock comes directly from businesses in formal insolvency processes, so the range of assets available varies with each sale.
To bid, register on our auction platform and browse current lots. Assets may be sold by online auction, tender, or negotiated sale, depending on what delivers the best outcome for the insolvency practitioner. Each lot page sets out the applicable sale method and terms.
Assets are sold as seen, so we strongly recommend attending a viewing before bidding. Contact us to arrange a viewing time for any lot you are considering. Payment and collection terms vary by sale and are set out on each lot page.
