What We Do
Octus, formerly Reorg, was founded in 2013 with a simple conviction: credit decisions deserve clarity, not chaos. Markets were fragmented. Intelligence was gated. Data lived in silos. Professionals were forced to stitch together incomplete pictures while the clock kept running. We built Octus to change that.
Octus is the essential credit platform that tracks the entire credit lifecycle. From origination and underwriting to secondary trading, refinancing, distress and restructuring, we follow every development across leveraged loans, high-yield bonds, private credit and special situations. We structure millions of documents, surface risks, benchmark performance and deliver expert reporting and analysis in real time.
What began as a newsroom fused with legal and financial expertise has evolved into a unified ecosystem. Octus brings together proprietary data, expert-driven intelligence and integrated workflow tools so credit professionals can analyze situations, uncover opportunities, manage portfolios, execute trades and stay compliant without ever leaving the platform. Insight and action finally live in one place.
Today, nearly 40,000 professionals across the world’s leading banks, asset managers, CLO managers, law firms and advisors rely on Octus to move smarter and faster. They turn to us for breadth, depth and rigor forged over more than a decade, and for the speed, integration and precision that define the future of credit workflow.
Our mission is direct and ambitious: end fragmentation, collapse the distance between intelligence and execution, and transform insight into impact. Because in credit, clarity isn’t just an advantage. It’s everything.
Octus: Where credit becomes clear.
Why Work With Us
Octus is where real experts work together to cut through chaos and build clarity in credit. You feel your impact here. What you create shapes real decisions in the market. The problems matter. The people are sharp. If you want work that counts, this is the place.
