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 Correct credit rate.

 

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

 

 

 Final Opinion

 

This company has been in business for 25 years. It has a staff of 29,000 employees at group level which makes it a large sized company.

There were several legal filings found against the company, suing Job discrimination or Fair Debt Collection among others.

The company is wholly own subsidiary of Kohl's Corp. (NYSE:KSS)

We've contacted the company but we were unable to get any financial information.

Therefore we gathered the financial information from its mother company.

Although the company had several pending lawsuits; it gave a correct profitability for the year 2010. In addition, indebtedness is controlled and cash flow is normal.

 

To fully secure the credit line granted, we suggest calling the parent company as a guarantor.

 

A credit line may be considered for USD 500,000
