A liquidation sale is the process of selling the assets of a business in an orderly fashion over a period of time in order to achieve values that are close to market value. Liquidation sales are similar to store closings, when a store sells its remaining inventory.

You've probably heard the term liquidation but may not know exactly what it is. In the world of business, it is the process that a business uses to pay their debts by selling their goods and assets. A liquidation company buys the goods at a discount and then resells them to the public.

For retailers and manufacturers, liquidation stores provide an avenue for inventory management and revenue recovery. By selling excess or returned items to liquidation stores, businesses can free up warehouse space and recoup some of their investments.
