Quick answer

Can retired IT equipment be resold safely?

Yes. Suitable equipment can be resold after secure data sanitisation, functional testing and grading, then controlled remarketing through vetted UK and EU buyer channels. The process preserves evidence that every device was sanitised to NIST 800-88 before it left, so resale never breaks the data trail.

Recover value. Extend life.

IT Refurbishment & Remarketing

Turn retired IT equipment into a return, not a write-off. Sanitised, refurbished, graded and remarketed through our EU-wide buyer network, UK-coordinated, with outright buyback or transparent revenue share, full warranty and ESG-ready documentation. Trade resellers and brokers welcome.

Why Nanosoft

Refurbishment that protects your data, brand and bottom line.

Reuse-first, security-first. Nothing leaves the facility without being wiped, tested and graded, and nothing is sold without your sign-off on the price.

Transparent Revenue Share

No fixed claims, no inflated promises. You see the resale price, you approve the split.

Data Security First

Every drive sanitised to NIST 800-88 Purge before refurbishment begins. Period.

Circular Economy

Reuse-first approach extends device lifecycle and reduces embodied carbon emissions.

ISO 27001 + 14001

Information security and environmental management both independently certified.

Three Programmes

One outcome. Three commercial routes.

Whether you want to maximise revenue share, lock in a guaranteed price, or keep the value internally, there's a programme to match.

Most Popular

Refurbish & Resell

Transparent revenue share

We refurbish, grade and remarket your retired equipment. You receive an itemised valuation, approve the resale, and earn a transparent share of the proceeds after deductions.

  • Best for steady decommissioning
  • Highest typical net return
  • Resale tracked and reported
  • Audit pack on completion

Outright Buyback

Guaranteed price, fast settlement

Prefer certainty? We assess the batch and offer a guaranteed buyback price upfront. Settlement within 7 working days of collection: ideal for fixed-budget closeouts, end-of-lease portfolios, broker buybacks and over-stock.

  • Best for project closeouts
  • Guaranteed cash value
  • 7-day payment terms
  • No resale exposure

Internal Redeployment

Refurb, re-image and redeploy

Keep value inside the business. We refurbish, sanitise, re-image and warranty equipment for redeployment within your own estate, extending fleet life and capital budgets.

  • Best for cost-conscious teams
  • Re-imaged to your SOE
  • 12-month warranty included
  • Asset tags retained
