Understanding why margins are tightening and how to respond quickly and strategically is now essential for survival.
In this article, we’ll unpack the root causes of margin compression and provide practical, actionable strategies to help you reclaim profitability and strengthen your business from the inside out.

This article is your chart and compass, a guide to understanding and mastering the art of riding the business wave.
For many small business owners, debt is a double-edged sword. On one hand, it can be a vital tool for growth, enabling expansion, the purchase of critical equipment, or the hiring of key personnel.

Our aim is to provide a comprehensive guide for small business owners, helping them to make informed decisions about debt and to manage it effectively.
Understanding operational distress is not about admitting defeat; it’s about recognizing the warning signs early enough to take decisive, corrective action.
It’s about empowering yourself with the knowledge to navigate turbulent waters and steer your business back toward a course of stability and growth.
This article will serve as your comprehensive guide to understanding, identifying, and addressing operational distress.
We will delve into its root causes, illuminate the often-subtle symptoms, and provide a roadmap for recovery.

Bernarsky Partners recently entered into a monthly service agreement with a collection law firm for payer identification and account scoring services of all existing and newly placed inventory.
Chance of Collection (tm), our payer identification scoring model is able to identify which defaulted, charged off or judgment accounts will pay in the future. Our collection law firm client uses the Chance of Collection (tm) model to determine which newly placed accounts go to the top of the workflow pile for their attorneys and paralegals to begin reviewing and processing.
We also reviewed all dormant judgment accounts in the law firm’s inventory to determine the most profitable course of action for post judgment remedies by identifying which judgments have the highest propensity to pay.
Here is a white paper on our Chance of Collection (tm) analytics model services
Bernarsky Partners recently assisted a subrogation, collection and creditor rights law firm in reviewing their dormant judgment inventory. Chance of Collection (tm), our proprietary analytics model, was able to identify concentrated and specific portions of the total creditor judgment inventory out of a large pool of dormant judgments that will pay in the near future. Our Chance of Collection (tm) model also identified assets such as bank accounts, brokerage accounts, other personal property and places of employment to aid in post-judgment executions and remedies.
This dormant judgment inventory review has enabled our client, the collection law firm, to focus their resources and production time specifically on the judgment accounts that will produce maximum fee revenue and net back to their clients.
Here is a white paper on our Chance of Collection (tm) analytics model services
Bernarsky Partners, LLC announces its exclusive agreement with “Chance of Collection” (tm), a proprietary predictive algorithmic scoring model that identifies accounts in a defaulted or charged off status that have a high propensity to pay.
The “Chance of Collection” (tm) scoring model is customized client-by-client to produce results through back tested, predictive analytics in the following areas:
(1) COLLECTION AGENCIES- prioritizes accounts by propensity to pay, estimated percentage of payment in each score tranche and also estimated amount and/or term of payments to be expected; increases profitability and efficiency by enabling a collection agency to work less accounts and collect more for their clients
(2) CREDITORS- identifies delinquent accounts that have the highest propensity to “cure” prior to charge off as well as which accounts to keep internally and which accounts to outsource/sell; segments accounts by propensity to fall into delinquency; identifies accounts that are in danger of future bankruptcy; provides recommendations on which accounts to send to litigation with the highest chance of recovery to produce optimal net charge off rates for credit issuers
(3) COLLECTION LAW FIRMS- identifies which accounts in the paralegal’s queue to pursue first for litigation; pinpoints specifically which judgments to focus on monetizing and provides judgment debtor asset information as well as place of employment for judgment execution
Download an overview from the link below of how the “Chance of Collection” (tm) scoring model works:
Bernarsky Partners LLC has secured a $100mm senior credit facility for one of our clients to purchase semi-performing and non-performing defaulted consumer credit receivables assets. We sourced this credit facility for our client from our network of alternative asset finance and capital partners.
Bernarsky Partners LLC is also contracted to source, analyze and price assets for acquisition with this revolving senior credit facility.
