Restructuring Asset Auctions

notebook with the word Restructuring

What does restructuring mean?

Restructuring is when a business modifies its financial and/or operational aspects. Typically, this action is carried out when a firm is facing financial issues, and may lead to the modification of debt, working ways or hierarchy. The goal of the restructuring process is to reduce cash-flow concerns and improve company operations.

How are asset auctions linked to business restructuring?

Quick access to capital and reduced asset liabilities are often imperative during restructuring, and online auctions are a disposal solution that can help with this. Unused machinery or surplus stock are usually the first items to be sold using these platforms.

If a business is restructuring due to administration or liquidation, asset auctions are a reliable and legal method to raise funds to repay creditors. You will find that insolvency practitioners work closely with auction houses like us to solve their clients’ ongoing problems.

Why should I sell business assets at auction during a restructuring process?

While there are several methods to sell your assets during a restructuring process, auctions are one of the best options for the following reasons:

  • Speed – Auctions can be arranged and closed within days or weeks, giving stakeholders access to cash fast
  • Maximum value – Competitive bidding often drives better prices than private sales
  • Transparency – The openness of the auction process can build trust with creditors, stakeholders and regulators
  • Compliance – Asset auctions can meet legal requirements during insolvency, administration or liquidation proceedings
  • Focus – Selling underutilised or unused stock, equipment and machinery can streamline operations

What asset types can be sold when a business is restructuring?

You can sell just about any item at auction. We are pleased to work across a range of sectors, listing items like CNC machines, office furniture, food processing equipment and more. If you have assets to sell ahead of a restructuring period, please get in touch to list them with us.

How do asset disposal services for restructuring work?

Consultation and valuation

Our service begins when you contact us. You can either fill out the form further down the page, call 0333 200 2041 or email [email protected]. We will take time to understand your requirements and explain how our services work.

If you are happy to proceed, one of our RICS-certified team members will visit your site to assess, itemise, value and photograph your assets. We will then arrange for each item to be collected and transported to our secure storage facility.

Marketing and bidding

The details and photographs of the assets you are selling during your restructuring will be given to our admin staff. They will take time to add the lots to our online platform, ready for the auction’s start date.

Alongside this, we will deploy a bespoke marketing strategy to raise interest. Social media posts, targeted emails, physical posters and magazine adverts are commonly used methods to achieve this. Bidders will then be able to make suitable offers when the auction opens.

Aftersales

Successful buyers will be notified when the auction closes, and it is up to them to arrange a collection date and time. The funds raised will finally be distributed to your firm or the professional handling your insolvency, liquidation or administration proceedings.
