Global Services
We offer a range of integrated and standalone solutions customised to unlock and optimise unrecognised value through valuation, lending, investing and disposition.

FINANCING & INVESTMENT
GA Europe provides both short and long-term capital to clients beyond traditional asset-based lending. We lend or invest directly in brands, real estate or inventory.

VALUATION & APPRAISAL
Leveraging the world's largest proprietary asset-recovery database and a century of disposition expertise, we deliver the insight and accuracy clients need to make sound decisions.

RETAIL SOLUTIONS
Through hands-on management, up-front capital and guaranteed outcomes, we help business owners, operators and their lenders identify and extract the highest value from their assets to ensure effective restructuring and sustainable successful going concern of the core business.

DISPOSITION & ASSETS FOR SALE
With a proven track record in asset recovery and monetization, we connect buyers and sellers to maximize value. From surplus inventory to entire business divisions, we facilitate seamless transactions through strategic sales, auctions, and tailored disposition solutions.

Testimonials
We are proud of what we do and the difference we make to the organisations and people we work with.
As Schoenenreus' curator in 2015, I collaborated with Joyce van Iersel, whose knowledge was invaluable. GA Europe, led by Tino Bauer, facilitated a company restart, then recruited Joyce to their team. Together, they've excelled at distressed business turnarounds, and I've transitioned to working with them as a lawyer on successful deals, with a partnership that continues to grow.
Bas van Dooren
Partner / Lawyer
SALONAO GmbH and GA Europe effectively completed several retail liquidations and closures, expertly managing all aspects from staffing to final sell-offs without excess stock, proving GA's proficiency in retail restructuring. They anticipate further collaborative projects ahead.
Rainer Schrems
SALONAO Company Solution GmbH
Grateful to GA for professionally selling large stock in Salamander stores quickly, ensuring a smooth transition to a new company, with transparent and aligned processes throughout.
Christoph Bremmer
Salamander Germany
Our partnership with GA Europe in creating POS materials showcases seamless cooperation and a mutual commitment to excellence, resulting in enjoyable and successful projects. Looking forward to future collaborations.
