Opportunity to acquire a Dover, Delaware-based auction and liquidation business specializing in restaurant equipment, commercial kitchen equipment, and other business assets. Operating as Auction Factory MD & DE, the business serves the Maryland and Delaware market through online equipment auctions and commercial liquidations. Auction offerings have included new-in-box and used equipment, including commercial refrigeration, cooking equipment, ice machines, glassware, balers, and air compressors.
Previous auctions have featured recognized manufacturers such as Traulsen and Vulcan. Warehouse activities include equipment storage, auction preparation, buyer previews, and scheduled pickups. The business combines a specialized equipment focus with an online auction format, providing an opportunity for a hands-on owner, restaurant-equipment dealer, or existing auction operator.
Approximately over $1,500,000.00 in assets are currently on site, based on the seller’s estimate. The valuation basis, itemized asset list, and specific assets included in the transaction will be confirmed during the sale process.
Potential growth opportunities include developing additional consignment relationships, pursuing restaurant-closure and warehouse-liquidation projects, and increasing auction frequency as inventory supply and operating capacity permit. Additional opportunities include expanding email, SMS, and social-media marketing to reach more equipment buyers and prospective sellers. These represent potential expansion strategies, not guaranteed future results.
