Why Commercial Liquidation and Decommissioning Matters 

Commercial liquidation and decommissioning are essential when preparing for a big step with your business. It’s a quick and efficient way to ensure your old space is cared for. Using liquidation and decommissioning services will determine a business’s total value of assets and help you receive the best possible return. Office furniture liquidation and decommissioning allow companies to manage their transitions smoothly, reduce waste, ensure compliance with disposal regulations, and support sustainability by reducing waste.   

Decommissioning an Office: What to Expect  

When moving or downsizing your office space, you should evaluate all your corporate asset disposal options. The more you learn about the possibilities of what’s out there, the better equipped you’ll be to decide on what liquidation team you’d like to work with.   

Step 1: The Consultation  

Your consultation is our initial assessment, during which the company will learn your needs and ideal objectives. This is also the step where an agile decommissioning service can value the items you’re moving to determine how much you’ll recover.   

Step 2: The Planning Phase  

Next, you can expect a customized plan that outlines your project’s timeline, scope, and logistics. This will be achieved through an inventory assessment, determining the best disposal method.    

Step 3: The Execution  

A decommissioning and liquidation team will physically remove the furniture to sell, donate, or recycle based on its value and condition. As a last resort, some items may be responsibly disposed of. The goal is to extend the life cycle of as many items as possible through second-hand use and minimize your eco-footprint.   

Step 4: The Finalization  

When everything is said and done, your liquidation and decommissioning partner should provide a comprehensive report detailing the successful execution of the plan and its outcomes. Finalization may include a final walkthrough with your assigned project manager.  

5 Benefits of Working with Professional Liquidators  

There are several benefits to hiring a professional liquidation and decommissioning team for your space.   

Most offices have requirements for their renters– for example, if you don’t leave behind furniture, they could charge you extra lease fees you weren’t expecting. Working with a decommissioning team will protect you from that.   

1. You’ll save time, money, and stress  
2. Your entire relocation process will be streamlined   
3. You’ll get a maximized return  
4. Your movers will strictly adhere to all office lease regulations   
5. You’ll be able to focus entirely on the move  

FAQs  

What items can be decommissioned?  

Generally speaking, most office desks, chairs, cubicles, filing cabinets, and electronic devices can be decommissioned.  

Why should I hire a professional company rather than do it themselves?  

Commissioners and liquidators don’t just remove your old furniture, we aim to reuse and recycle as much as possible. Plus, they do all the heavy lifting for you, which costs less than renting a dumpster for multiple days.  

What happens to the liquidated furniture?  

Your partner’s strategy should be to keep as much of your equipment away from landfills as possible. They’ll do this through donations and by photographing furniture to be decommissioned and advertised. If it can be salvaged, they’ll break it down to recycle what they can.  

How far in advance should I schedule a liquidation?  

It’s never too early! Booking out at least a month in advance is recommended, as large-scale commissions may take multiple weeks. Commissioners fill up quickly, so it’s important to contact them as soon as possible to ensure your furniture is moved out by the time your lease is up.
