Closing or downsizing? Turn the whole operation into cash.
We liquidate complete businesses at auction — restaurants, shops, warehouses, offices — usually within 30 days of engagement. One accountable company handles cataloging, marketing, buyers, and payment. You get a documented settlement and a check.
For owners, lenders, trustees, landlords, and attorneys handling a business closing or equipment-heavy transition.
Photographed by our team at the Biscuit Love Franklin liquidation — every lot we sell is cataloged like this.
Cataloging, photography, marketing, bidding, payment collection, settlement, and check are handled through one accountable process. Built for complete estates and whole-operation liquidations, not reseller consignments.
Restaurant and business liquidations

“We could not have asked for a better company or group of people to help facilitate the closing auction of our family business that had been in operation since 1958. They were honest, understanding, communicative, and generous with their work ethic.”Jim A. Family business closing, McLemore Auction seller

FAQ
Why auction instead of listing equipment item by item?
Auction creates one deadline, one marketing push, and competitive bidding across the full asset base instead of weeks of one-off negotiation.
What does it cost?
Commission is paid from the sale proceeds. We review the asset mix, timeline, and access requirements before proposing terms.
What about the building or lease?
We can coordinate around landlord, lender, trustee, or real estate timing so equipment removal fits the larger closeout plan.
How fast can this happen?
Many complete business liquidations can be cataloged, marketed, sold, and settled in about 30 days after engagement.
