COMMERCIAL COLLECTIONS
LITIGATION AND BANKRUPTCY
When litigation or bankruptcy work is required, Orion has relationships with collection attorneys with expertise in the C&I sector located throughout the country. We evaluate each case for its recovery potential and build custom strategies for recovery in the most cost effective manner.
REPOSSESSION AND REMARKETING
Unfortunately, there will be times when equipment will need to be repossessed from the obligor. Orion keeps these transitions as smooth as possible by calling on our relationships with a national network of reputable, licensed, bonded investigators, and recovery and remarketing specialists.
Once repossession is successful, equipment is thoroughly assessed and a detailed photo and condition report is prepared. Recovered equipment is then expertly valuated and priced, and a value-based liquidation plan is determined for resale on the secondary market.
RESTRUCTURING
When practical, Orion restructures lease and loan agreements within the client’s predefined limits and structuring guidelines. This not only restores the account to performing status, but creates a solution with earning potential for the client beyond recovery and remarketing.
TECHNOLOGY
Orion’s proprietary collection tracking system, known as CMARS, enables collections teams to manage all aspects of the recovery process while keeping clients promptly informed of circumstances and developments in every commercial collections case we handle.
Orion’s mission is to provide deeper insight, stronger portfolio results, and a highly satisfying borrower experience for small business lenders. Our new Delinquency Manager is designed to deliver actionable insights that make portfolio management easier and more effective.
