What is factory clearance?

Factory clearance is when the business overseeing a factory deems either products or machinery made or used in the factory unneeded or unprofitable, so uses clearance to earn money off of it. This can happen for many reasons, although the most common ones is that the business has phased out the need for such a method of production or has introduced a new way to make a better product.

​

The way of doing it depends on what parts are on clearance, things like lots of machinery are often best sold to other larger businesses in the market, and things like mass of products are best sold to liquidators. The choice mostly comes down to what your stock is and how much of it you have.

​

How can I tell when to use factory clearance?

It’s best used when approaching a point where it can no longer make profit. This is not a fully defined rule though, as other scenarios can lead to clearance being the best option. Some examples are if the business needs to redirect costs into another sector or product, or if the business needs to move location to streamline themselves with their market, or optimise costs.
