Identify the entity
Understand the name, address, registration history, and other information associated with the record.
For businesses
Unclaimed property recovery for businesses.
Corporate records can be complicated. We can assist with the research and recovery process when a possible property record may belong to a business or successor.
Additional documentation may be required.Requirements vary by claim, entity history, government agency, and the authority of the person making the enquiry.
What may matter
A corporate claim can involve more than a name.
Depending on the claim, a business may need to establish the exact entity, its connection to the property record, and the authority of the person who signs or submits documentation.
If you claim directly, your organization is responsible for identifying, collecting and submitting the evidence required by the government agency.
- Historical corporate records and former company names
- Address evidence connected to a prior location
- Merger, acquisition, successor, or dissolved-entity documentation
- Authorization for the person signing or acting for the business
- Supporting accounting and business records requested by the agency

A measured approach
Start with the record and the authority.
We can explain the information we have and outline the next steps available. You should involve your legal, finance, accounting, or company-secretarial advisers where appropriate.
Confirm authority
Determine who is authorized to act for the business and what documentation may be needed.
Review the choice
Decide whether to pursue the claim directly or ask Recover and Retain to assist.
Questions are welcome
Keep your internal advisers in the loop.
There is no need to make a decision based on a single email. Ask for the property details, confirm the official holding agency, and have your legal or accounting team review the proposed process if that is appropriate for your business.
Recover and Retain is independent.
We do not hold the government property, decide whether a claim is approved, or guarantee payment. The agency holding the property makes its own decision.
