Commercial Auctions

Buying and selling through commercial auctions offers businesses, investors and entrepreneurs a fast, transparent and cost-effective way to source quality assets or liquidate surplus stock. From office furniture and IT systems to medical and event equipment, auctions provide a trusted alternative to traditional sales channels.

Whether you’re browsing commercial auctions near you or exploring online bidding through leading commercial auction websites, Auction News brings everything together in one place - connecting buyers and sellers with reputable commercial auction houses across the UK.

Why Buy and Sell Through Commercial Auctions?

Commercial auctions make it easy to purchase business-related equipment at competitive prices or quickly dispose of assets you no longer need. Many lots come from company closures, relocations, refurbishments or insolvencies, providing a wide choice of high-quality items with clear provenance.

Unlike classified listings or private sales, auctions are transparent and time-bound - every item sells to the highest bidder, often achieving better returns for sellers and true market value for buyers. You can also view upcoming sales, lot photos and inspection details through each commercial auction listing on Auction News.

Wide Range of Commercial Equipment Auctions

Our commercial category covers a huge range of sectors, making it easy to find the equipment you need under one trusted source. Typical listings include:

  • AV & Broadcasting Equipment: Cameras, lighting rigs, sound desks, monitors and mixing consoles often feature in specialist commercial equipment auctions. Ideal for production companies, educational institutions or live event providers upgrading their systems.

  • Cleaning, Health & Safety: Everything from industrial vacuums and floor scrubbers to PPE, fire extinguishers and signage appears in this category. These items are particularly sought after by facilities managers and contractors.

  • Event Management: Staging, lighting, catering and crowd control equipment frequently enter the market as events and festivals upgrade or close. Buyers can find quality gear for venues and hospitality operations at a fraction of retail value.

  • IT & Computer Equipment: A consistent performer within commercial auction houses, this section includes laptops, servers, networking hardware and printers from office closures or upgrades - perfect for start-ups or SMEs looking to scale affordably.

  • Medical & Beauty: Hospital beds, diagnostic tools, salon chairs and aesthetic machines can all feature here. As health and wellbeing sectors evolve, auctions offer reliable access to professional-grade equipment that might otherwise be out of reach.

  • Office Furniture & Equipment: Desks, chairs, storage solutions and boardroom tables are commonly sold through commercial auctioneers, often in excellent condition following corporate relocations or refurbishments.

  • School, College & Education: Educational surplus such as classroom furniture, lab benches, sports gear and interactive whiteboards can be found within this sub-category - ideal for schools, training providers and community organisations.

  • Surplus, Clearance & Pallets: Retailers and wholesalers often use auctions to dispose of excess or end-of-line stock. Buyers can expect mixed pallets of new goods, clearance items and returned merchandise at heavily discounted prices.
