Consulting
Typically, asset managers want to make informed, intelligent decisions on the direction to take with defaulted asset(s) prior to taking any legal action. To assist them, we perform the following consulting services:
1. Enterprise Valuations: Partner with Real Estate Broker to determine potential recovery
2. Property & Financials Assessments: Make a hands-on assessment of operations, its competitors, location, and profit & loss statements
Seizure of Assets
A vital initial part of maximizing recovery is knowing where to look for hidden assets, how to go about obtaining them, and getting the banks to provide the information. Distinctively Chicago, LLC. has a great deal of expertise in locating and seizing all assets of the receivership/bankruptcy estate, including taking possession of, and accounting for all:
1. Bank Accounts
2. Cash Banks

After seizure of assets, we conduct full and accurate auditing of accounts receivable and accounts payable to determine the true financial assets and liabilities.
Other assets are also vital to the value and success of the operation. Distinctively Chicago, LLC. knows how to quickly take control of the principal asset.
