Here’s how our Phoenix Business Receivers can help you:
Business receiverships may arise in a variety of circumstances. Most commonly, they occur when a lender seeks the appointment of a receiver following a loan default to collect receivables or assume possession and operation of the business. In other situations, a receiver may be appointed as part of a judgment enforcement action to manage or liquidate assets.

When is a Phoenix Business Receiver needed?
A Phoenix business receiver may be appointed to take possession of specific assets such as receivables or inventory, or to assume control of the entire business, in which case they function as an equity receiver. Equity receivers operate all aspects of the business, including tax filings, customer relations, employee management, litigation matters, and creditor distributions according to priority.
Business receiverships play a critical role in preserving enterprise value, protecting creditors, and ensuring compliance with Arizona receivership laws (A.R.S. Title 12) while disputes or insolvency proceedings are underway.
