What is Investment Recovery?

 
 

Adding Value to Still-Valuable Assets

 
Investment Recovery (often referred to by practitioners as "IR") is the practice of recovering the highest value of assets no longer needed by a company. The IR process begins by identifying idle assets within the organization then reusing or disposing of the surplus; recouping substantial value in the process.
 
Think of it this way: Every large organization purchases assets-from office buildings and manufacturing facilities to the equipment and machinery required for operation. Over time, those assets wear out or are no longer needed where they were originally put into service. That's where investment recovery adds exceptional value.
 
In fact, professionally-run IR Departments return over a 30X bottom-line net profit for every dollar invested in investment recovery operations, making it among the most productive departments in any organization!

As experts in surplus asset management, IR professionals employ a unique process to find and identify surplus assets no longer being fully utilized by their organization, then go through distinct steps designed to recoup the highest-possible value from those assets. IR practitioners save their companies-primarily Fortune 1,000 businesses-hundreds of millions of dollars each year.
