We search local, state and federal records for money that never reached you. Government checks that were never cashed. Unpaid incentives and rebates. Inactive deposits. You pay only out of what we recover.

An agency issued a check to your company and it was never deposited. Lost in the mail, returned for insufficient postage, or sent to an address you had already left.
Rebates and incentive payments your company earned and never collected. These go missing most often after a merger or a change of finance staff.
Deposits, bonds and escrow balances left sitting with an agency long after the work they secured was finished and signed off.
Overpayments and refunds owed back to your company. No agency is obliged to chase you about them, and most never will.
We run our own database of abandoned cash held by local, state and federal agencies against your entity names and their history, including names you picked up through mergers.
If the agency holding your abandoned cash does not receive a proper claim by its filing deadline, the right to claim it is gone permanently and the money becomes government property. In one jurisdiction, local law treats dormant assets as a gift to the local government when no claim is filed within six months. The interest the agency earned while holding your money is usually not refundable to you either.
The client was satisfied with what its in-house team was recovering. When we told them we had identified a significant amount of abandoned cash that had never been reported to any state unclaimed property office, they were skeptical that an outside firm could find anything more. Years of mergers and acquisitions had left money attached to entity names nobody inside the company was still tracking.
Our team filed proper claims with each holding agency ahead of its deadline and recovered the funds.
The client was paid and avoided losing over two million dollars that would otherwise have become government property.
Our client list includes three of the top five US telecom providers, four of the top ten US healthcare companies, five of the top ten US REITs, and four of the top ten US oil and gas companies.
Our Better Business Bureau file carries an A+ rating with zero complaints.

Yes. We contact a company only after we have identified money a government agency says it owes it and confirmed the funds are currently claimable. Often it is a check the agency issued that was never cashed, or a payment sent to an address the company had already left.
Because a proper claim is required before an agency will release funds. No claim, no payment. Miss the filing deadline and the money becomes government property permanently. The interest the agency earned while holding it is usually not refundable to you either.
Very little. We do the research, prepare the documents and deal with each agency, so nobody on your finance team is pulled off their own work to supervise the process. The commitment is nominal and the recovery can be substantial.
Because this money is not listed where companies look for it. It is not held at a state unclaimed property office, and each agency sets its own claim requirements. Finding it in agency records without a database built for the purpose is the proverbial needle in a haystack.
A contingent fee, calculated as a percentage of what you actually recover. There is no upfront cost, no out of pocket expenditure and no hidden fee. If we recover nothing, you owe nothing. We are paid only from the proceeds of a successful recovery.
We share general information before you engage us, and exact details including the holder, the amount and the asset type once you do. That protects our research while keeping you fully informed. Anything you are already recovering is excluded from our fee.
