Releasing capital from your business assets

Equipment sitting idle on the floor is capital that is not working. For businesses carrying surplus machinery, underused vehicles, or redundant stock, selling through weekly online auctions is one of the fastest ways to convert those assets into working funds without disrupting the business that continues operating around them.

Unlike a factory closure or insolvency, a cash flow disposal does not have to be all-or-nothing. Many businesses sell a section of the floor, a line that has been replaced, or a fleet of vehicles no longer needed for current contracts, while the rest of the business carries on.

BTG Eddisons Asset Sales manages the full process from valuation through to sale and collection, so you are not trying to run a disposal alongside running a business. Call 0333 200 2041, email [email protected], or complete the form below to start the conversation.

What can selling assets do for your cash position?

Whether you are carrying surplus equipment from a completed project, machinery that has been replaced by a newer line, or vehicles no longer required for current contracts, a structured disposal can deliver:

  • Working capital, quickly – Weekly online auctions mean assets can be listed and sold within weeks of instruction, generating funds that go straight back into the business.
  • No need to stop trading – A cash flow disposal works around the business. Assets are photographed, lotted, and sold while you continue operating. Buyers collect at agreed times, and access is managed throughout.
  • The right method for each asset – High-value or specialist machines may achieve a better price through tender sale or negotiated sale than open auction. We recommend the right route for each asset rather than defaulting to one method.
  • Discreet handling where needed – Where a business does not want competitors or customers to know assets are being sold, tender and negotiated sales can be conducted without public listings.
  • A clear picture before you commit – We carry out a valuation before anything goes to market, so you know what to expect before you agree to proceed.

How the asset sales process works

Get in touch, and we will talk through what you have, what you need to achieve, and how quickly it needs to happen. There is no obligation at this stage. We will give you a realistic picture of what the assets are likely to return and how long the process will take before anything is agreed.

If you are happy to proceed, a Director visits the site to inspect and value the assets. The valuation gives you a guide price and informs the sale method recommendation. Not everything suits auction, however. Where a single high-value machine is better placed through a direct approach to known buyers, we will say so.

We photograph assets on site, lot them, and market them to our network of more than 26,000 registered buyers. Online auctions run every week, so assets can typically be listed and in front of buyers within weeks. Buyers attend viewings, bid online, and collect directly from the site once the sale is complete.

Frequently asked questions about releasing capital from assets

Author: Paul Cooper

Director

“Most businesses that come to us with a cash flow concern are sitting on more value than they realise. A line of machinery that has been replaced, a fleet that has been cut back, a store of stock that has been superseded; these are not liabilities. They are capital waiting to be released.”
