Asset Recovery Services

Recovering Value Others Leave Behind

Every organization has hidden value.

Sometimes it’s idle equipment gathering dust in a warehouse. Sometimes it’s obsolete inventory, underutilized machinery, aging aircraft components, surplus data center equipment, excess hotel furnishings, or manufacturing assets no longer needed. In other cases, the value lies in outstanding receivables, recoverable credits, surplus real estate improvements, or assets that have simply been overlooked.

For decades, Michael Lewis Group has helped organizations identify, recover, preserve, optimize, and monetize these assets.

Our experience began in traditional capital asset recovery, purchasing, refurbishing, re-marketing, and monetizing depreciated equipment for Fortune 500 companies, financial institutions, government agencies, educational institutions, manufacturers, leasing companies, utilities, healthcare organizations, transportation companies, and many other industries.

Today, we’ve expanded those capabilities into a comprehensive Asset Recovery & Capital Recovery practice designed to help businesses maximize value from virtually every class of asset.

More Than Liquidation

Many firms simply auction equipment.

We begin by asking a different question:

What is the highest and best use of the asset?

Sometimes the answer is liquidation.

Sometimes refurbishment produces substantially greater returns.

Sometimes equipment should be redeployed internally rather than sold.

Sometimes refinancing, a sale-leaseback, or recapitalization unlocks greater value than an outright disposition.

Sometimes recovering overlooked receivables, credits, or other financial assets delivers a faster and more meaningful improvement to cash flow than selling physical assets.

Our objective is not simply to dispose of assets. It is to maximize recovery while preserving enterprise value whenever possible.

Why Michael Lewis Group?

Our experience extends beyond asset recovery.

For many years we have also worked extensively in commercial finance, commercial real estate lending, structured finance, hospitality finance, aviation, equipment finance, and institutional capital markets.

This unique combination allows us to evaluate recovery opportunities from both an operational and financial perspective.

Rather than viewing every engagement as a liquidation project, we evaluate the full range of available solutions to help clients maximize value, improve liquidity, strengthen balance sheets, and preserve capital.
