oraHow It Works

Set Up Once. Save Time Every Reporting Period.

One sitting to set up your facility, with CORA reading your agreement and files. After that, each reporting period is upload, review and sign.

Setting Up

From a New Account to an Active Facility

STEP 1

Create Your Account

Enter your company and contact details, then secure your account with a password and your authenticator, which is also how you sign. Then the company: its legal name, its address, and who your lender reaches.

There is no sales call and no implementation project to coordinate.

  • Your account is your company's own, separate from any lender's
  • Invite a colleague and give them a role: Administrator, Signer, Preparer or Viewer
  • Choose one signature or two for every certificate
  • The authenticator on your phone is the proof behind every signature
STEP 2

Upload Your Documents

Give the facility a name. Then add the files you already have: the credit agreement, the certificate workbook you send today, and your last reporting package. That is the whole form.

Everything else is read from the agreement: your lender, the kind of facility, the reporting cadence, the due dates, the covenants and the rates. Nothing is keyed in by hand.
  • A name for the facility
  • The credit agreement, as executed
  • Your borrowing base certificate workbook
  • The receivables aging and the inventory reports
  • The support files behind them, as many as you have, in any format you already send
STEP 3

CORA Reads Your Agreement and Your Files

CORA reads the agreement in full and the reporting files beside it, then builds the facility setup: what the agreement defines, what it tests, what it asks you to deliver and when. It calculates the first borrowing base from the source figures in your package and compares the result with your workbook.

Each term carries its clause. Each difference between your workbook and CORA's calculation is named, sized and explained.

  • Your lender, and the facility's kind and size
  • The defined terms, quoted from their sections
  • The covenants, each with its test and when it is run
  • Advance rates, caps, concentration limits and reserves
  • The eligibility rules, as the agreement writes them
  • The reporting deadlines: what is due, when, on what cadence
  • The first borrowing base, calculated from your source figures
  • The layout of your own screens
STEP 4

Confirm the Setup

The setup comes back as sections: Documents, Terms, Structure, Covenants, Advance rates, Eligibility, First borrowing base, Calendar and requests, Layout. Your screens are on the left. CORA is docked on the right.

Ask what a covenant means, look into a difference or update a detail. Answer the questions CORA could not settle from the documents, each with its options. Confirm changes as you go, with a record of each decision.

  • Approve or flag each section
  • CORA's questions come with options and their effect on availability
  • Your screens are laid out from the setup and you can move any line
  • Each answer and each change is on the record, attributed to you
STEP 5

Activate Your Facility

Sign to confirm the setup, with a second signer if your company requires one. The facility is active: the structure, the covenants, the rules and the reporting deadlines stand as you approved them, and CORA uses them to prepare each reporting period ahead.

From here on, CORA prepares each certificate under the rules you confirmed. A change later is a new version on the record, made by you.
  • The first certificate is prepared from the setup
  • The periods ahead are on your calendar with their due dates
  • The signed certificate renders as a PDF on your record
  • Your lender is on the record for every delivery, as the agreement names them
Each Reporting Period

Upload. Review. Sign.

The period opens on your calendar when it is due. From there, six steps on one screen, and CORA does the calculating.

1
UPLOAD

Upload the Period's Files

The screen shows what is expected and what has arrived. Add the files and CORA classes each one.

2
CALCULATE

CORA Prepares the Certificate

Every line calculated from your source figures under the confirmed rules, the covenants tested, the differences flagged.

3
REVIEW

Review What Was Flagged

Each difference explained in plain words. Resolve it, or note why it stands, with a record of the decision.

4
SIGN

Sign on CORA

One signature or two. The certificate renders as a signed PDF with your name, title and time.

5
DOWNLOAD

Download the Package

The workbook with CORA's sheet, the signed certificate, the supporting files and a read-me, in one zip.

6
SEND

Send It to Your Lender

Send the package the way you always have, then record it as sent: to whom, when, which files.

Signing on CORA

Sign the completed certificate directly on CORA, with a second signer if your company requires one. No printing, no scanning, no separate e-sign tool.

One Signature or Two

A company that signs alone signs alone, and the certificate says so. A company that wants four eyes names a second signer, and the certificate waits for both. You choose under Administration and can change it later.

Behind Your Authenticator

Every signature asks for a fresh code from the signer's authenticator at the moment of signing. The act is on the record with the person, the session and the time.

What the Signed PDF Carries

The certificate's figures and face, then a signatures block: each signer's name, title and time, the method, and the record's own identifiers so the document can always be matched to the run that produced it.
