How ODR Works

From a stuck payment to a prepared, referred case.

Five clear steps. You stay in control at every one of them.

Apply

Tell us about the enterprise, the counterparty, the amount and the paperwork you have. Upload what you've got.

Initial screening

We check the case for completeness and fit — is this payment friction, and is ODR a sensible route?

Case preparation through the Cluster Recovery Cell

We help you organise invoices, POs, delivery proof, communications and a clear timeline, so your case stands on its own.

Neutral referral

We connect you to an appropriate independent provider. You choose which one.

Track & learn

With your consent, the outcome feeds aggregate, de-identified learning that improves the whole system.

Ways a case can resolve

Direct resolution

A well-prepared case often prompts payment without any formal process.

Mediation

A neutral third party helps both sides reach a voluntary settlement.

Conciliation

Similar to mediation, with the conciliator able to suggest terms.

Arbitration

A binding decision by an arbitrator, outside the court system.

Always remember

  • The statutory MSEFC pathway remains available and is not replaced
  • MSME Catalyst does not adjudicate, advise or guarantee recovery
  • You retain choice of provider throughout
