Whether you’re a new restaurant owner, opening a retail establishment, or need furniture for an office, you’ll find many of the items you’ll need to get started at auction. But the best part? You’re likely to get a deal you can’t find by shopping retail.
As a new business owner, you know having liquidity and extra capital on hand is extremely important. When unexpected expenses pop up, you want the peace of mind that you have money in the bank. An initial line of credit or investment money can be spent quickly when you’re paying retail prices for brand new supplies.
At auction, you can often find gently-used equipment in great condition. It’s a common misconception that only old items are sold at auction. Often, late-model or new items cross the auction block due to a store closing or surplus.
