There are a number of factors that can help you determine when and if you should service your loan or lease portfolio in-house or outsource it to an established partner. When making your determination, compliance, scalability and timing all come into play.
Growing with Your Portfolio
Up to a certain size and diversity, it likely makes sense to service your portfolio in-house. However, as your business grows, so do the complexities of portfolio management. If your servicing arm is not already developed, there are significant time and human costs—not to mention initial and ongoing hard costs, which we’ll address shortly—associated withbuilding it. Plus, your portfolio cannot go without servicing while you work to build the infrastructure needed to do so.So, you have to ask yourself the question: Do you have the resources to successfully balance both?
With four strategically located operations centers in Baja California, Portland, Oregon and two in San Diego, Vervent was purposefully designed to offer clientsroom to grow within our existing facilities.We’re experts at recruiting and are able to scale your solutions on-demand.
Value of Outsourced Expertise
It’s important to recognize the complexity of setting up a successful servicing endeavor. Yes, it’s an expenditure to hire an established portfolio servicing partner. But it’s likely a far greater cost to develop the necessary staff, departments, procedures and facilities in-house if that’s not your business’ specialty.It takes a cohesive effort from multiple departments to effectively service a loan portfolio, and Vervent’s team offers turnkey solutions to deliver effective customer service, maximize returns and minimize risk.
Risking non-compliance also has significant cost, as fines from regulatory agencies continue to rise. Are you prepared to develop the systems, teams and strategies required to maintain compliance?When you outsource your financial servicing, the servicer takes on the responsibility of adhering to ever-changing compliance regulations that can differ as granularly as county by county.Vervent has an entire compliance and legal team dedicated to keeping up with current laws, technology and updates fromregulatory bodies.
