Manufacturing companies and others often end up with a part of their production that they are not able to sell at intended price or full value.

Products become obsolete or warehouses need to be cleared to make room for the new collection.
These companies then normally have the choice between destroying the merchandise and selling it for cents to the Euro to a liquidator.

We offer alternative solutions where we:

  • Purchase the excess inventory at full book value - sometimes up to wholesale value - recreating cash flow for our client
  • Remarket the inventory making sure not to cannibalize existing sales or interfere with sale network and engage in protecting brand equity.
A manufacturer of deluxe pens finds itself with surplus inventory (previous season's collections) whose book value is 1 million Euros. If it accepts the offer of a liquidator to buy the entire stock at three hundred thousand euros, the manufacturer will register a capital loss of seven hundred thousand euros on the sale of its inventory, and above all will expose itself to a major risk of finding its products back on the parallel market at a cut-rate price.
EFFICIO will:
  • Buy the inventory for a million euros in Trade Credits (EFFICIO's currency) and avoid a situation where the pen manufacturer registers a capital loss.
  • Commit to re-selling the inventory observing the recommendations of the manufacturer, that is avoiding interfering with the existing sales network and making sure not to undermine the image capital of the pen brand.
The manufacturer will use its trade credits to partially finance a poster advertising campaign of three million Euros -at market prices-, one million being paid with its trade credits and two millions in cash.
