I understand that your company recently purchased an sewing machine, which is considered a fixed asset, but has not yet used it. However, you have received instructions from your Director to urgently liquidate this asset.
In this situation, the best solution would be to try to understand the reason behind the Director's decision. If there is no genuine need for the asset, you can start the process of selling it off. This can be done through a private sale or by seeking assistance from a professional asset liquidator.
However, if there is a genuine need for the asset within the company, you can try to negotiate with the Director to find a way to make use of the asset in the business. Finding a suitable use for the asset will not only save the company money but could also potentially increase efficiency and productivity within the business.
