Sell Your Factory Stock to a Buyer Who Moves at Your Pace

We buy surplus stock from UK factories that are closing, relocating, downsizing or going through insolvency. Send us the details and we’ll come back with a quote fast, whether you’ve got weeks to plan or days to act.

A Fast, Straightforward Way to Clear Factory Stock

Factory Clearances is part of Surplus Solutions Group, and we buy surplus stock directly from manufacturers, factory owners, and the insolvency practitioners and administrators handling a business wind-down. Sometimes a factory’s closing for good. Sometimes it’s relocating and can’t take everything with it. Sometimes an administrator’s been appointed and needs stock turned into cash for creditors within a set timeframe. Whatever the situation, we buy the stock as it stands and collect it ourselves.

We’re not a marketplace and we don’t ask you to list anything or wait on individual buyers. You tell us what’s there, we make an offer for the lot, and if it works for you, we handle collection from that point on.

Who We Buy Factory Stock From

Manufacturers closing a site or relocating production elsewhere

Businesses downsizing or consolidating multiple factories into one

Insolvency practitioners, administrators and liquidators realising stock for creditors

Receivers and accountants managing a company wind-down

If you’re an insolvency practitioner or administrator working to a statutory deadline, we understand the timeframes you’re operating under and can move quickly once instructed.

Common Questions About Selling Factory Stock

What is a factory clearance stock buyer?

A factory clearance stock buyer purchases surplus stock directly from a factory, whether it’s closing, relocating, downsizing or being wound down through insolvency, so the business or appointed practitioner doesn’t have to sell it off piece by piece.

Do you buy stock during administration or insolvency?

Yes. We regularly work with insolvency practitioners, administrators and liquidators who need factory stock turned into cash for creditors within a set timeframe.

How quickly can you make an offer and collect stock?

We aim to turn quotes around within a few working days, and can move faster where a statutory deadline is involved.

Do you buy stock from any industry, or only specific sectors?

We buy across most manufacturing and industrial sectors. If you’re unsure whether your stock fits, send over the details and we’ll give you a straight answer.

Is there a minimum quantity of stock you'll buy?

We handle everything from a single stockroom to a full factory clearance, so get in touch even if you’re unsure your volume is worth listing.

Can you work directly with an insolvency practitioner or administrator?

Yes, this is a large part of what we do. We’re used to being instructed directly by IPs, administrators and receivers, and can work within the reporting and timeframe requirements that role involves.

Will you provide documentation for creditor reporting?

Yes, we can provide clear documentation of the transaction, useful where a stock sale needs to be accounted for as part of the insolvency process.
