Strategic actions for asset monetization and optimization
The purpose of these services is to establish bases for asset optimization, generating liquidity and cash flow, facilitating budget preparation and compliance, as well as boosting the local economy and implementing services for citizens.
Among these actions is the implementation of continuous offer services (pools) for the DISPOSAL of REAL ESTATE belonging to public entities and companies, which aim to promote a stable platform for asset sales and, thus, avoid the reiteration of multiple independent procedures that currently have little practical impact.
Likewise, individualized or joint analyses and studies of the asset situation are carried out to propose the most suitable actions for optimizing municipal resources.
Administrative contracting regarding assets and rights
The objective is to make available to public administration, within minimal deadlines, complete projects/files for asset disposal, whether – for example – through: Alienation, Exchanges, Assignments, and Concessions.
Through these actions, multiple public interest objectives are achieved, such as: obtaining funds for the corporation, boosting the local economy and employment, as well as new social interest services such as schools, educational centers, underground parking, funeral homes, communication centers, nursing homes, sports activities, etc.
Control of assets and rights
ASSET AND RIGHTS CONTROL SYSTEMS are a fundamental tool for managing municipal assets and promoting the modernization of Local Entities. Indeed, it allows municipalities to have a true picture of the situation of their Assets and Rights, establishing measures to secure and protect their interests, and even incorporating them into their accounting.
These tasks require complex administrative action, not only due to the dispersion of data among various Municipal Areas, but also due to the scarcity of resources that, at times, City Councils have to allocate to this function.
Among the services provided are: Preparation and Updating of Inventories of Rights and Assets; Implementation of Land Asset Control Systems; Legal Purifications and Regularizations; Recovery and Defense of Rights.
