The Legal and Regulatory Landscape for MFI Asset Auctioning

The auctioning of MFI repossessed assets in Kenya is strictly regulated to ensure fairness and transparency. The Auctioneers Act, 2010, governs the licensing and conduct of auctioneers, setting standards for advertisements, bidding procedures, and the handling of sale proceeds. MFIs must ensure that the auctioneers they engage are duly licensed by the relevant authorities and possess the requisite expertise for the specific asset types. Furthermore, the terms of loan agreements and any court orders pertaining to the repossession and sale of assets must be meticulously followed. Swipe Recoveries Experts Ltd. works in strict compliance with these regulations, ensuring all auctions adhere to the requirements of the Office of the Registrar of Auctioneers and relevant consumer protection laws. Our commitment to ethical practices ensures that the disposal of repossessed assets is conducted with the highest integrity, protecting the interests of both the MFI and potential buyers, and aligning with the directives of the Central Bank of Kenya (CBK) where applicable.

The costs associated with auctioning MFI repossessed assets in Nairobi are typically structured to ensure the MFI receives the maximum net proceeds from the sale. Swipe Recoveries Experts Ltd. generally operates on a commission-based fee structure, where our charges are a percentage of the final sale price. This commission usually ranges from 5% to 15% of the hammer price, depending on the volume and type of assets being auctioned. Additional costs, if any, such as advertising expenses or transportation, will be clearly itemized in our agreement and billed in Kenyan Shillings (KES). Our goal is to make the auction process as cost-effective as possible for MFIs, ensuring that our fees are competitive and justified by the market value we achieve for your repossessed goods. We strive for swift sales, often conducting auctions within 4-8 weeks of asset handover, depending on market conditions and asset preparation.
