- Gordon Brothers Group
-
Gordon Brothers Group, headquartered in Boston, Massachusetts, is a liquidation firm[1] that was founded in 1903 by Jacob Bernard, Louis and Joseph Gordon.[2]
The company specializes in appraising the value of non-property retail assets, principally shop stock. Companies can then use it as collateral for borrowing, from banks or from Gordon Brothers' financial arm. It is also an expert in "disposal" - selling off inventory when stores close down through merger or bankruptcy. Gordon Brothers buys and sells $10B in assets a year, but appraises three times that amount.
