A Human Touch on the Complexities of Asset-Based Lending

Our human-engineered approach combines analytical insight with flexible tools to support any reporting or collateral verification need.

Why Not Just Use Software?

Unlike off-the-shelf systems, our team adapts to your data, terminology and compliance needs. No training or subscriptions required.

Portfolio Analysis

We convert borrower-submitted AR/AP files into tailored, lender-specific reports that offer deep visibility and actionable insights on every account. Our custom inventory system turns raw borrower data into trend-driven reports that help lenders quickly assess collateral value and risk.

BBC Certification

We support lenders and borrowers with streamlined Borrowing Base Certificate (BBC) compilation, ensuring eligibility rules are applied accurately and reporting is delivered clearly, consistently and on time.

Specialized Reports and Services

Beyond standard reporting, CSI offers custom data solutions and consulting services to meet unique lender requirements.

“My firm provides field exam services to a number of domestic lenders, and we regularly get data files in a format that cannot be electronically processed or analyzed. We rely on Chris and his team at CSI to convert these files into Excel – CSI is quick and responsive to our requests, which gives us the ability to then perform our work in a highly efficient and effective manner.  This has saved us a number of man-hours over the years and has allowed us to remain competitive in both our pricing and the overall quality of our work.”
