Assignee for the Benefit of Creditors (ABC)

Tailwind Services LLC acts as Assignee for the Benefit of Creditors in Illinois and other states. An ABC is an out of court liquidation of an insolvent business. In an ABC, the assets of a business are transferred to a trust. The Assignee acts as the trustee of the trust, deciding which method of liquidation will bring the highest realization to creditors. This is a powerful business tool that provides significant speed, flexibility and cost savings when time and resources are tight.
