Here’s how our San Francisco Business Receivers can help you:

When is a San Francisco Business Receiver needed?

A San Francisco Business Receiver may be appointed solely to manage receivables or inventory, or as an equity receiver with authority over the entire business. In the latter case, the receiver manages all operations, including filing tax returns, working with employees and customers, addressing litigation, managing creditors, and distributing proceeds according to priority.
