Your business may be owed money. We help you get it back.

The State of California by itself is holding over $12 billion in unclaimed property — and that's one state out of fifty. A portion of it belongs to businesses that never even knew it existed. We find it, file it, and recover it on your behalf; you never pay a penny out of pocket.

The Process

How recovery works

Four steps, zero surprises. You pay nothing unless we successfully recover funds on your behalf.

  1. 01

    Free property search

    We search numerous state and federal unclaimed property databases across every variant of your business name and known addresses.

  2. 02

    You review and approve

    We send you a clear report of every property found, total value, and a simple two-page agreement. You decide what to claim.

  3. 03

    We file the claim

    We prepare documentation, handle notarization, and file directly with the holding agency. You just pull a few corporate documents and sign on the dotted line.

  4. 04

    You get paid

    The agency issues payment. We deduct our 10% contingency fee and remit the remainder to you. No recovery means we don't get paid.

Why US Recovery Services

Built for business claims, not consumer hype.

Most recovery firms chase consumer windfalls. We specialize in business property: vendor refunds, uncashed checks, insurance proceeds, utility deposits, and escrow balances owed to registered business entities.

Our process is built around accuracy, clear communication, and a flat fee that doesn't change based on claim size. What you see upfront is what you pay.

Flat 10% contingency

Same rate on a $2,000 claim or a $200,000 claim. No tiered pricing, no hidden charges.

$0 out of pocket

You never write a check. We're only paid when the holding agency issues your recovery.

Direct agency filing

We file directly with the holding agency — state or federal. No middlemen, no delays from third-party processors.

We handle the paperwork

Proof of ownership, notarization, entity documentation. We prepare everything — you sign and we file.

Questions

Frequently asked

What is unclaimed property?

Unclaimed property is money or assets held by a third party — a bank, utility, vendor, insurer, or government agency — that has gone untouched for a legally defined dormancy period. After that, the holder must turn the property over to a state or federal agency, which holds it until the rightful owner files a claim.

Why can't I just file the claim myself?

You absolutely can. Most holding agencies let any business file directly at no cost — just like you can file your own taxes. But most businesses still hire a CPA, and for every reason you'd give for doing that (time, expertise, the risk of a small mistake costing you real money), the same logic applies here. We handle the research, the paperwork, and the back-and-forth with the agency so your team can stay focused on running the business.

How do I know the property actually belongs to my business?

Our initial search returns properties listed under your business name, variants of that name, and associated addresses across multiple databases. Before filing, we review the records together and you confirm which belong to your entity.

Every agency requires proof of ownership — essentially, evidence that ties the reported property back to your business. Depending on the claim, that can include:

  • Articles of incorporation, formation, or equivalent entity documents
  • EIN / Tax ID verification
  • Proof of address history (old lease, utility bill, tax return cover page)
  • Authorization from an officer or authorized signer
  • In some cases, a document tying the specific transaction to your entity (invoice, bank statement, vendor record)

We tell you exactly what's needed for each claim and help you track it down. Most of this is paperwork you already have on file.

How long does recovery take?

Agency processing times vary — we've seen claims paid as fast as 30 days and others take up to 180 days from the date of filing. Complex claims involving dissolved entities or multiple owners can take longer. We keep you updated at every stage.

What does the 10% fee cover?

Everything. The 10% contingency is the only charge and applies only to successfully recovered amounts. It covers:

  • Initial property search across multiple state and federal databases
  • Property aggregation — finding every record tied to your business, including name variants and old addresses
  • Document preparation and review
  • Notarization and any required filing fees
  • Direct filing with the holding agency
  • Follow-up and status tracking through the entire claim cycle
  • Resolving procedural holdups or requests for additional documentation
  • Final remittance of funds once the agency pays out

No hourly billing, no hidden costs, no surprise invoices.

What happens if the claim is denied?

Most denials are procedural or documentary — missing paperwork, a name mismatch, an outdated address on file. When that happens, we work directly with your team and the holding agency to resolve the issue and get the claim back on track.

If a claim ultimately can't be recovered, we don't get paid. Our fee is 100% contingent on a successful recovery — if we can't resolve it, we eat the loss.
