THE COMPANY IS NOT LISTED ON THE OFAC LIST.*

 

 

For information:

 

* The Specially Designated Nationals (SDN) List is a publication of OFAC which lists individuals and organizations with whom United States citizens and permanent residents are prohibited from doing business.

 

 

** The Uniform Commercial Code (UCC) is one of a number of uniform acts that have been promulgated in conjunction with efforts to harmonize the law of sales and other commercial transactions in all 50 states within the United States of America. 

 

The UCC deals primarily with transactions involving personal property (movable property), not real property (immovable property).

 

It allows a creditor to notify other creditors about a debtor’s assets used as collateral for a secured transaction by filing a public notice (financing statement) with a particular filing office.

 

The Uniform Commercial Code Bureau files and maintains on financial obligations (including IRS liens) incurred by individuals (in business as a sole proprietor), business entities and corporations.

 




Rating

 

Local credit bureau gave a regular credit rate.

 

The company is in Good Standing. This means that all local and federal taxes were paid on due date.

 Final Opinion

 

The structure is losing money.

 

The payments are long.

 

The company’s predecessor file for bankruptcy and the procedure is still pending according to the Delaware Bankruptcy court.

 

Extreme caution is required.

 

We suggest a review within 12 months.
