Once a trustee or attorney is assigned to the case, we’re brought in to assess the assets. We determine whether a bankruptcy auction would yield meaningful value for the estate.

If there's value, we act quickly to secure the assets. This may include changing locks on business premises or transporting vehicles and equipment to a secure facility.

3. Proposal & Court Approval

We provide a detailed auction proposal outlining our fees, process, and anticipated outcomes. This proposal is submitted to the court for approval in full compliance with bankruptcy procedures.

4. Inventory & Auction Prep
