asset sales
Liquidating owned property
Asset sales are transactions in which a company sells individual assets—equipment, property, inventory, or divisions—rather than selling the entire business or its stock.
In bankruptcy or restructuring, asset sales allow firms to raise cash or shed unprofitable operations: The airline conducted asset sales to pay creditors.
