Why have an auction?
Several reasons. Auctions can accomplish specific goals. Whether you have a few selected items to dispose of, an entire plant to maximize value from, or even a group of plants to offer, auctions sell more assets on an annual basis than equipment dealers.
Auctions can happen in a very short time frame. The auction process forces buyers to step up and buy with finality.
How many types of auctions are there?
Three, with the most common being the GUARANTEED AUCTION. With a guaranteed auction, we review your assets and determine their value. We come to an agreement to purchase the assets available and can fund immediately, usually with a deposit paid on the day of contract execution and the balance being wired 48 hours before the auction. This scenario can provide a monetary comfort and takes the burden of the disposition of your shoulders.
The second most common auction is the COMMISSION AUCTION. This used to be the only way auctions were conducted, but commission auctions do burden the owner of the assets with more risk. Many are reluctant to choose this route and generally like the comfort of a GUARANTEED AUCTION. In this scenario the owner and the auctioneer agree on an expense budget to cover advertising, labor and other auction related items. The auctioneer then adds a buyer's premium to each item that is sold. The owner receives the proceeds of the auction minus the expenses and the auctioneer will retain the buyer's premium.
Another type of auction that is gaining popularity is the GUARANTEE & SPLIT. This is a shared risk format. The auctioneer guarantees a fair amount to be paid prior to the auction. Any overage from the auction is split between the owner and the auctioneer. This is very popular where the assets include one or more very valuable items that have very limited use. The guarantee covers the value of the conventional items and offers a wild card/ incentive to the auction house to find a buyer for the limited use items.
We are happy to discuss your particular needs and find a solution that works for you; under the INDUSTRIAL ASSETS CORPORATION umbrella, we have all the tools to build the deal that suits you.
