International Asset Sourcing
International asset sourcing: vehicles, yachts, art and specialised equipment
Identify, verify and coordinate the acquisition of valuable or specialised assets — wherever they are located.
The challenge
Buying a valuable asset abroad means trusting strangers
Distance makes it hard to verify a seller, inspect condition or confirm provenance. Transport, insurance and import requirements add further risk to an already significant purchase.
A coordinated acquisition puts independent checks between you and the seller at every stage.
