Equipment Consignments / Private Treaty
Another option for selling your excess fixed assets is through Consignment or Private Treaty, which is a sales methodology whereby individual assets, production lines or entire facilities can be offered for sale onto the national and global markets, with the rightful Owner/Seller agreeing to be represented by a liaison (Apprise Communications) who acts on their behalf throughout the sales process.
Apprise Communications handles each aspect of the project and achieves a goal of optimal financial results through the implementation of techniques that match a high volume of buyers to the asset being sold.

Steps of the Consignment Process
1. The first step involves agreement between you and Apprise Communications establishing our legal position to solicit contracts on your behalf.
2. Each sale contract is unique and is carried out by a dedicated Private Treaty Specialist within our team who is highly knowledgeable in the technology or industrial asset being sold.
3. Apprise Communications conducts an appraisal and market evaluation; a sales price and pricing strategy is agreed upon by the parties.
4. Apprise Communications then markets the asset soliciting individual sale contracts with buyers which include individuals, government agencies, corporations and our database of national and global institutions that utilize the same type of equipment.
5. The sale takes the form of discussion and negotiation between the buyer and the seller facilitated and undertaken by Apprise Communications.

We recommend contacting us as soon as you are considering the sale of your excess fixed assets. Our experience has taught us that a longer selling period benefits our clients, allowing for detailed inspections, and potential buyers to work out procurement plans and determine exactly what they need, as well as time for necessary capital expenditure approvals, or fund raising to take place. It also allows the seller more time to consider offers and combination of offers to best suit their requirements.
