California Unclaimed Property Recovery
The State of California may be holding money that belongs to your business.
Billions of dollars in uncashed checks, refunds, and forgotten accounts sit with the California State Controller's Office, waiting to be claimed. We find the funds, prepare the documentation, and file the claim — and you can verify every word we say on the State's own website before you sign anything.
Verify before you trust
If we contacted you, we included a Property ID. Look it up yourself — free, right now — on the State of California's official site: claimit.ca.gov. If the funds aren't there under your business's name, don't call us back. That's the standard we hold ourselves to.
Cal. Code Civ. Proc. § 1582Why businesses lose track of money — and how we find it
Vendor checks that were never cashed. Insurance refunds mailed to an old address. Deposits left behind after a move. Under California law, businesses holding these funds must eventually turn them over to the State Controller's Office for safekeeping. The money stays there — it never expires — but the State can only wait for the owner to come looking.
Most businesses never do, because they don't know the money exists. That's the entire reason we exist. We research the State's public unclaimed-property records, match funds to the active California businesses they belong to, verify the details, and reach out with proof — the Property ID you can check yourself on claimit.ca.gov.
If you engage us, we handle the documentation and filing from start to finish, and the State sends the recovered funds directly to you.
Built to be checked
Unclaimed-property scams are real, and skepticism is the correct response to any letter or email about money you didn't know you had. So we built our firm around a simple standard: every claim we make is independently verifiable on an official government website before you commit to anything.
No pressure. No urgency tactics. No fees unless you're paid. You can even skip us entirely and file for free on your own — we'll tell you exactly how. What we offer is the finding, the paperwork, and the follow-through, at a fee capped by California law.
