The Process

Three Steps. Zero Risk.

We manage the entire recovery — from identification to disbursement. Your involvement is minimal. Your result is real.

I
Step One
🔍

We Find It

We conduct a thorough, confidential search of the California State Controller's Office unclaimed property database — identifying checks, deposits, and refunds that legally belong to your business. No cost to search.

II
Step Two
✍️

You Sign

We prepare every required claim form and compile all supporting documentation. You review and sign. We handle all filing and state correspondence — no bureaucratic burden falls on you.

III
Step Three
🏛️

We Recover It

Once the state approves and releases your funds, you receive your money. Our fee is collected only after you have been paid in full. No recovery means no fee — that is our contingency guarantee, in writing.

"The California State Controller's Office does not hunt you down to return what it owes you. It holds it, indefinitely, until someone fights to get it back. That is what we do."
