Build a Lender Relationship

Would you like Wert-Berater to serve as an independent analytical resource when your lending team needs feasibility, market analysis, underwriting support or ongoing asset monitoring?

Explore the scope before registering. Existing institutions can continue to sign in and order through the lender portal; analytical inquiries do not require a portal account.

How pricing works

Fixed in writing, never contingent on the finding

Fees are set per project from the factors that genuinely change the work: the financing program, the project type, location and data availability, project scale, the number of sites, technical complexity, added services, and whether rush delivery is requested and available.

When an approved pricing rule covers the order, the portal presents a fixed-fee proposal with a validity date. When it does not, or when a project exceeds review thresholds, the order goes to a Wert-Berater manager, who confirms a fixed fee in writing. Either way you see the fee before you accept anything.

No published price list. Fees are not shown on public pages and no example prices are approved for publication. Volume and institutional terms are agreed individually and appear in the portal once approved.

Get Fixed-Fee Pricing

Standard or rush

Delivery dates you can put in a closing timeline

OptionHow it is set
StandardCalculated in business days from launch, excluding weekends and observed holidays, against scheduled capacity.
RushOffered only when rush capacity exists for that week; the proposal states the date and any rush fee before acceptance.

All dates in the portal are shown in Eastern Time.

Safeguards

Built for institutional controls

ACCESS

Role-scoped

Admins see every order; other roles see assigned orders only.

FILES

Scanned first

Uploads are quarantined if scanning is unavailable, never marked clean.

RECORDS

Immutable snapshots

Quotes and accepted agreements are preserved as issued.

SIGN-IN

Multi-factor

Client sign-in requires MFA, as it does for every Wert-Berater portal user.

Questions

Ordering FAQ

Is pricing instant?

Not always. Where management has approved a pricing rule that covers the program, project type and complexity, the portal presents a fixed-fee proposal. Projects outside approved rules go to manual review, and a fixed fee is confirmed in writing before anything is due. The portal never shows a zero or placeholder fee.

What starts the work?

Acceptance of the engagement letter, confirmed payment or approved institutional terms, the minimum required documents, and available capacity. A draft order alone is not an engagement.

How is payment made?

By the bank instructions on the invoice, recorded against the existing invoice ledger. There is no card checkout.

Who can see an order?

Organization administrators see all of their institution's orders. Officers, underwriters, accounting staff and invited borrowers see only orders they are assigned to.

What if email verification does not arrive?

Verification email depends on mail delivery being enabled for the portal. If the registration page reports that mail is unavailable, contact Wert-Berater directly and the account can be completed manually.

New institutions register first; the administrator then adds officers, underwriters and accounting contacts.

Analytical continuity

After the Investment: Independent Performance Monitoring

Carry the financing case into ongoing loan and portfolio review.

The analytical relationship does not have to end when the feasibility study is delivered. Wert-Berater can continue monitoring the asset against the original underwriting assumptions, updating market conditions, testing coverage, identifying performance variances and maintaining a recurring analytical record.

Before capital is deployedWert-Berater tests the investment thesis.
After capital is deployedWert-Berater tests whether actual performance continues to support it.
