The AgoraCertified program enables BHPH auto dealers to get low-cost capital and a more valuable portfolio by providing the tools and expertise to help “Recondition their Loans.” AgoraCertified works closely with dealers and their data, assisting them with valuations, the accuracy of data, regulatory, and loan servicing strategies. Just as it does with your auto inventory, reconditioning your auto loans can significantly increase the value of your entire portfolio. This service is provided free of charge to Agora members, and Agora does all the work.

Car Dealers recondition their vehicle inventory to make the cars more saleable, and allows the dealers to get a better price. Batteries, glass, paint, tires and brakes are standard reconditioning for a used car.  Loan amortizations, standards of documentation, data storage, document storage, and procedures all done properly can increase your portfolios value whether you hold or sell.  We do this for you as standard reconditioning practices for your Loans.

Very little. Through our API with your DMS we have the data and all we need is three sample files to get you AgoraCertified Silver.

We guide you through the entire process. It is slightly more work than Silver. However, the increased portfolio value created and interest expense savings by having a lower cost of funds is significant.

No, we are “Value Creators” not loan compliance people. In the event you need compliance professionals we have an arrangement with an industry leading compliance firms and we can connect you with them for discounted services.

By reconditioning your loans, they will be optimized and that can increase performance and make your senior lender less worried at line of credit renewal time. Also, having a loan portfolio that has been optimized ensures you are breaking out principal and interest properly.

Your loans are run through our models and we validate that the principal balance and interest paid are what it should be based on the contract.  Many times, we find that the dealers short themselves money by misapplying interest and principal on each payment.  Even worse is if you overcharge your customers you are open for potential litigation or regulatory problems.

It ensures you have all the required documents. It also shows a buyer, auditor or senior lender that you have policy and procedures in place, and details matter.

By getting certified you are sending a strong message that not only you care, but also want to use best practices. It shows you have an interest in having stronger and long-lasting business relationships. Lenders and buyers can “check the box”  more comfortably on counter-party risk.

Additionally, lenders that may have thought you too small or too risky will look at you differently when you have the controls and process in place that our certification gives you.

Our value creators will send you alerts periodically. We are also your resource for any questions or advice that you may have.

AgoraCertified is free to you because our Wall Street and finance companies members pay us for our services.
