From initial research through final disbursement, our three-step framework is designed to require minimal involvement from your team while delivering maximum recovery at zero financial risk.
Identifying What Your Treasury Doesn't Know Exists
Our research process begins with a comprehensive audit of your organization's corporate genealogy — tracing every predecessor entity, acquired subsidiary, and divested business unit through decades of M&A activity.
Using proprietary research methodologies and direct access to state unclaimed property databases, we identify dormant assets held under legacy entity names: utility service deposits, commercial lease escrows, vendor credits, regulatory refunds, and other financial instruments that transferred — or failed to transfer — during consolidation.
This phase requires no action from your team. We conduct our research independently and present findings only when we have identified specific, recoverable assets with documented ownership chains.
Research Scope
A Standard Agreement. No Surprises.
Once our research identifies recoverable assets, we present your corporate officers with a standard, legally compliant contingency agreement. Our fee is fixed at 10% of the gross recovery amount — collected only after your funds have cleared. There are no retainers, no hourly fees, and no administrative charges.
We handle the complete documentation mapping process: establishing the legal chain of ownership from the predecessor entity to your current corporate structure, preparing all required claim documentation, and coordinating directly with the relevant state regulatory agencies.
Your legal and treasury teams review and execute a single, straightforward agreement. We manage everything that follows.
Agreement Terms
Funds Paid Directly to Your Corporate Address
Upon approval of the claim by the relevant state regulatory agency, the gross recovery amount is disbursed directly to your organization's corporate address via check or electronic transfer — exactly as the state's unclaimed property statutes require.
You receive 100% of the gross payout from the state. Our contingency fee is invoiced separately, payable only after your funds have cleared. There is no netting, no withholding, and no intermediary handling of your recovery proceeds.
The entire process — from initial research presentation to final disbursement — typically completes within 60 to 180 days, depending on the state agency's processing timeline and the complexity of the ownership documentation.
Disbursement Structure
Regulatory Framework
All recovery activities conducted by Enterprise Asset Auditors are executed in strict compliance with applicable state unclaimed property statutes, including the Uniform Unclaimed Property Act and state-specific regulations governing third-party asset recovery.
