Solutions for Industrial Assets

Lueders & Partner combines the appraisal and liquidation of industrial assets with complementary solutions for financing, leasing and restructuring. Depending on the requirements, we provide individual services, support consecutive project stages or develop an integrated solution together with specialised cooperation partners.

The individual areas of expertise are often closely interconnected: an industrial appraisal can provide the basis for financing or a leasing model, support a business continuation or serve as the starting point for the subsequent liquidation of machinery, equipment and other assets.

Appraisal as a Basis

Sound decisions concerning industrial assets first require a clear understanding of their actual value. Lueders & Partner prepares industrial appraisals for machinery, production equipment, operational and office equipment, vehicle fleets and other movable fixed and current assets.

Depending on the assignment, we determine the required current, market and liquidation values. These appraisals can then feed directly into subsequent project stages – for example financing solutions, restructuring, transactions or liquidations.

Liquidation and Marketing

When industrial assets are to be sold, Lueders & Partner can build directly on the preceding appraisal. Depending on the project, machinery, equipment, inventories or complete operational assets are marketed through international online auctions or structured private sales.

We manage the entire liquidation process, from recording and preparing the assets to international buyer marketing and the execution of the sale.

Financing and Leasing

Industrial machinery and equipment can not only be appraised or sold, but can also provide the basis for financing solutions. Particularly in restructuring, investment or business continuation scenarios, an appraisal of the existing fixed assets can provide an important basis for suitable financing models.

Together with specialised financing partners, solutions such as leasing or sale-and-lease-back arrangements can be developed on this basis. Lueders & Partner provides the asset appraisal and, where required, brings suitable partners from its established network into the project.

Restructuring and Business Continuation

In complex business situations, a single service is often not sufficient. Appraisal, financing, liquidation and the involvement of additional specialists can all form part of an integrated solution.

For this purpose, Lueders & Partner works on a project basis with insolvency administrators, banks, leasing companies, private equity firms, restructuring advisers and other specialised partners. The objective is not a standardised service package, but a combination of the required expertise tailored to the specific situation.

Combining Services Effectively

Our particular approach lies in combining the individual areas of expertise. A project may begin with an industrial appraisal, followed by financing based on the appraised fixed assets, and subsequently lead to a liquidation. In other cases, individual services are provided in parallel or implemented together with external specialists.

This enables Lueders & Partner to handle individual assignments as well as support more complex projects across several stages. Clients have a central point of contact, while additional expertise is brought in wherever required for the respective solution.

Solutions in Practice

Our Case Studies illustrate how varied these combinations can be. They document projects in which appraisal, liquidation, financing, business continuation and cooperation with network partners have worked together.
