Another Florida bank has closed up shop. Banks are closing all over the country, which can mean small business contracts for foreclosure cleanup businesses who are poised to contact the acquiring or assuming institutions of these financial organizations
See the below list profiled on the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation's ("FDIC") website for the year 2010, so far. An independent agency of the federal government, the FDIC was created in 1933 in response to thousands of bank failures that occurred in the 1920s and in the early 1930s.

Another Florida Bank Closes
The latest failed institution listed is Marco Community in Marco Island, Florida. On Friday, February 19, 2010, the bank was closed by the Florida Office of Financial Regulation, and the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation was named as the Receiver.
According to the FDIC, no advance notice is given to the public when a financial institution closes up shop.
All of the deposit accounts, excluding certain brokered deposits, have been transferred to Mutual of Omaha Bank, Omaha, NE (the "assuming" or "acquiring" institution) and will be available immediately.
The formerly known community institution will now reopen as a branch of the Mutual of Omaha Bank during its regular business hours.
What This Means for Foreclosure Cleanup Businesses
The acquiring (or assuming) institutions of failed banks can be fertile ground for foreclosure cleaning business contracts. How? Because these assuming institutions will now have all of these new assets to manage; and many of these new assets will be real estate assets (which will include homes in default and homes that are undergoing the foreclosure process).
These new real estate assets will ultimately need some form of property preservation and foreclosure cleaning services.
Foreclosure cleanup business owners who are poised to reach out quickly to these newly appointed acquiring institutions offering their company's services can grow their businesses by seeking cleanup contracts. Properties that have been foreclosed upon will need securing in the form of window boarding and lock changing, debris removal, yard work and interior and exterior inspections.
One inspections contract can add thousands of dollars to foreclosure cleaning business' bottom-line.

Good luck with your foreclosure clean-up business!
