The price of $.10 is a fixed price at which the initial security holders may sell their shares until our common stock is quoted on the OTCBB at which time the shares may be sold at prevailing market prices or privately negotiated prices. There can be no assurance that a market maker will agree to file the necessary documents with the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority, which operates the OTC Bulletin Board, nor can there be any assurance that such an application for quotation will be approved.

PROSPECTUS SUMMARY
This summary highlights selected information contained elsewhere in this prospectus. This summary does not contain all the information that you should consider before investing in the common stock. You should carefully read the entire prospectus, including “Risk Factors”, “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” and the Financial Statements, before making an investment decision. In this Prospectus, the terms “Orion” “Company,” “we,” “us” and “our” refer to Orion Financial Group, Incorporated.
Overview
Orion Financial Group, Inc. (the “Company” or “Orion”) was incorporated in the State of Wyoming on March 26, 2012. Orion provides strategic financial consulting services to companies requiring advice in the area of corporate growth strategies. Additionally, the Company provides financing alternatives to executives that seek to purchase (buy-side), divest (sell-side), or recapitalize their public or private company. More specifically, the Company intends to provide consulting services across industry sectors to companies that have revenues between $2.5 million and $100 million.
Under the leadership of a seasoned management team, Orion intends to develop its consulting business segment, as well as, identify and evaluate potential acquisitions that will allow the Company to provide better all-around services.
Financial Services Market
Orion focuses on providing consulting services to private and public businesses that are considering or are suitable targets in mergers and acquisitions transactions, are financially distressed, or desire access to capital markets. Orion’s target company will not be industry specific; however, efforts will be directed at client companies with the following attributes:
| · | Objective to sell, buy, or expand their business; |
| · | Seeking recapitalization; |
| · | Enterprise Value of $2 to $20 million; |
| · | Profitably operational for at least 3 years; |
| · | Cash flow positive through profitability; |
| · | Auditable financials; and |
Market Demographics
In developing its customer base and in focusing its marketing efforts, it is important to note the following statistics:
| · | The National Federation of Independent Business (NFIB) lists over 350,000 businesses as members. The Company will target these members as well as thousands of privately and publicly owned businesses that fit our target company profile and which are not members of NFIB. |
| · | The U.S. Census Bureau, in its 2004 Economic Census, identifies over 25 million business firms in the U.S. Over 76.8% have no payroll, indicating most are self-employed persons operating unincorporated businesses. Of the remaining 5.9 million employer firms, over 99.7% are “small businesses” according to the U.S definition of less than 500 employees. In 2004, just 17,047 firms (0.28%) had more than 500 employees.1 |

Market Needs
Large numbers of baby boomers own businesses that have not planned for management succession. The Company will target these businesses as suitable candidates for strategic acquisitions.
Similarly, a large percentage of public corporations in the lower and mid-cap classifications are actively looking for suitable, qualified merger and acquisition candidates in the private sectors. Many small public companies often do not have a full time acquisition department to conduct comprehensive vetting of candidate companies. The cost of being public has overwhelmed many small companies. Accordingly, Orion intends to provide services to these companies to meet company-specific objective.
Services
The Company intends to establish business relations throughout various industries that will allow the Company to provide the following services: (1) corporate financial consulting (2) mergers and acquisitions assistance (3) due diligence resources.
| · | Corporate Financial Consulting– Full-service, extensive corporate financial consulting that focuses on micro-cap and small cap private and public companies. The Company’s services are based on its management’s extensive experience in a variety of sectors. |
| · | Mergers and Acquisitions Advisory Services– Introduction to short and long-term financing options. Utilization of the Company’s extensive professional network to bring together buyers and sellers to execute transactions. |
| · | Due Diligence Resources– Full documentation, due diligence, evaluation, and formation of integrated business plan to facilitate investment interest in the public and private markets. |
Growth Strategy
Orion plans to expand its consulting services by utilizing a broad marketing strategy as well as looking into strategic acquisitions or joint ventures that will enable the Company to offer clients better products.
Competition
There are numerous companies offering services similar to what we provide in every geographic region of the United States. The companies providing these similar services vary from small, mid-sized and large operations. The larger, more established service providers can attain the best clients in terms of highest paying engagements. Though we are a smaller company at this stage, we intend to compete against small to mid-size firms.

(1) Based on 57,538,395 shares of common stock outstanding as of November 26, 2012.
RISK FACTORS
The shares of our common stock being offered for sale are highly speculative in nature, involve a high degree of risk and should be purchased only by persons who can afford to lose the entire amount invested in the common stock. Before purchasing any of the shares of common stock, you should carefully consider the following factors relating to our business and prospects. If any of the following risks actually occurs, our business, financial condition or operating results could be materially adversely affected. In such case, you may lose all or part of your investment. You should carefully consider the risks described below and the other information in this process before investing in our common stock.
Risks Related to Our Business
Our independent registered public accounting firm has expressed substantial doubt as to our ability to continue as a going concern.
Based on our financial history since inception, our independent registered public accounting firm has expressed substantial doubt as to our ability to continue as a going concern. We are a development stage company that has generated very little revenue. If we are unable to successfully implement our business, then we may be unable to continue to operate.
We have limited operating history and face many of the risks and difficulties frequently encountered by development stage company.
We are a development stage company, and to date, our development efforts have been focused primarily on the development and marketing of our business model. We have limited operating history for investors to evaluate the potential of our business development. We have not built our customer base and our brand name. In addition, we also face many of the risks and difficulties inherent in gaining market share as a new company:
· Develop effective business plan;
· Meet customer standard;
· Attain customer loyalty;
· Develop and upgrade our service;
Our future will depend on our ability to bring our service to the market place, which requires careful planning of providing a product that meets customer standards without incurring unnecessary cost and expense.
We need additional capital to develop our business.
The development of our services will require the commitment of substantial resources to implement our business plan. Currently, we have no established bank-financing arrangements. Therefore, it is likely we would need to seek additional financing through subsequent future private offering of our equity securities, or through strategic partnerships and other arrangements with corporate partners. We have no current plans for additional financing.
We cannot give any assurance that any additional financing will be available to us, or if available, will be on terms favorable to us. The sale of additional equity securities will result in dilution to our stockholders. The occurrence of indebtedness would result in increased debt service obligations and could require us to agree to operating and financing covenants that would restrict our operations. If adequate additional financing is not available on acceptable terms, we may not be able to implement our business development plan or continue our business operations.
We have not devoted any significant resources towards the marketing and sale of our products, we expect to face intense competition in the markets in which we do business, and expect to rely, to a significant extent, on the marketing and sales efforts of third parties that we do not control.
We expect that the marketing and sale of our services will be conducted by a combination of independent representatives and third-party strategic partners. Consequently, success of our services will be dependent largely on the efforts of others. We intend to enter into additional strategic marketing agreements or other collaborative relationships to market and sell our services. However, we may not be able to identify or establish appropriate relationships in the future. Even if we enter into these types of relationships, we cannot assure you that the entities with which we form relationships will focus adequate resources on selling our services or will be successful in selling them.
We will face intense competition in the markets for our services. We will compete directly with currently available services, some of which may be less expensive. The companies that sell these services may have established relationships and more name-brand recognition in the market than we do. In addition, some of those companies may have significantly greater financial, marketing, and other resources.
Risk Related To Our Capital Stock
We may never pay any dividends to shareholders.
We have never declared or paid any cash dividends or distributions on our capital stock. We currently intend to retain our future earnings, if any, to support operations and to finance expansion and therefore we do not anticipate paying any cash dividends on our common stock in the foreseeable future.
The declaration, payment and amount of any future dividends will be made at the discretion of the board of directors, and will depend upon, among other things, the results of our operations, cash flows and financial condition, operating and capital requirements, and other factors as the board of directors considers relevant. There is no assurance that future dividends will be paid, and, if dividends are paid, there is no assurance with respect to the amount of any such dividend.
Our executive officers and directors have significant shareholdings, which may lead to conflicts with other shareholders over all corporate votes and control the Company's direction
Our directors and officers, as a group, beneficially own or control approximately 90% of our outstanding common stock. Acting together, these shareholders would be able to significantly influence all matters that our shareholders vote upon, including the election of directors, mergers or other business combinations and matters. As such, they would be able to control the operations and the direction of the Company with very little outside influence.
OUR ARTICLES OF INCORPORATION PROVIDE FOR INDEMNIFICATION OF OFFICERS AND DIRECTORS AT OUR EXPENSE AND LIMIT THEIR LIABILITY WHICH MAY RESULT IN A MAJOR COST TO US AND HURT THE INTERESTS OF OUR SHAREHOLDERS BECAUSE CORPORATE RESOURCES MAY BE EXPENDED FOR THE BENEFIT OF OFFICERS AND/OR DIRECTORS.
Our articles of incorporation and applicable Wyoming law provide for the indemnification of our directors, officers, employees, and agents, under certain circumstances, against attorney’s fees and other expenses incurred by them in any litigation to which they become a party arising from their association with or activities on our behalf. We will also bear the expenses of such litigation for any of our directors, officers, employees, or agents, upon such person’s written promise to repay us if it is ultimately determined that any such person shall not have been entitled to indemnification. This indemnification policy could result in substantial expenditures by us which we will be unable to recoup.
We have been advised that, in the opinion of the SEC, indemnification for liabilities arising under federal securities laws is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification for liabilities arising under federal securities laws, other than the payment by us of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling person in the successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding, is asserted by a director, officer or controlling person in connection with the securities being registered, we will (unless in the opinion of our counsel, the matter has been settled by controlling precedent) submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction, the question whether indemnification by us is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue. The legal process relating to this matter if it were to occur is likely to be very costly and may result in us receiving negative publicity, either of which factors is likely to materially reduce the market and price for our shares, if such a market ever develops.
The offering price of the common stock was determined based on the price of our private offering, and therefore should not be used as an indicator of the future market price of the securities. Therefore, the offering price bears no relationship to our actual value, and may make our shares difficult to sell.
Since our shares are not listed or quoted on any exchange or quotation system, the offering price of $.10 per share for the shares of common stock was determined based on the price of our private offering. The facts considered in determining the offering price were our financial condition and prospects, our limited operating history and the general condition of the securities market. The offering price bears no relationship to the book value, assets or earnings of our company or any other recognized criteria of value. The offering price should not be regarded as an indicator of the future market price of the securities.
You will experience dilution of your ownership interest because of the future issuance of additional shares of our common stock and our preferred stock.
In the future, we may issue our authorized but previously unissued equity securities, resulting in the dilution of the ownership interests of our present stockholders. We are currently authorized to issue an aggregate of 100,000,000 shares of capital stock consisting of 100,000,000 shares of common stock, par value $0.001 per share.
We may also issue additional shares of our common stock or other securities that are convertible into or exercisable for common stock in connection with hiring or retaining employees or consultants, future acquisitions, future sales of our securities for capital raising purposes, or for other business purposes. The future issuance of any such additional shares of our common stock or other securities may create downward pressure on the trading price of our common stock. There can be no assurance that we will not be required to issue additional shares, warrants or other convertible securities in the future in conjunction with hiring or retaining employees or consultants, future acquisitions, future sales of our securities for capital raising purposes or for other business purposes, including at a price (or exercise prices) below the price at which shares of our common stock will be quoted on the OTCBB.
Our common stock is considered a penny stock, which may be subject to restrictions on marketability, so you may not be able to sell your shares.
If our common stock becomes tradable in the secondary market, we will be subject to the penny stock rules adopted by the Securities and Exchange Commission that require brokers to provide extensive disclosure to their customers prior to executing trades in penny stocks. These disclosure requirements may cause a reduction in the trading activity of our common stock, which in all likelihood would make it difficult for our shareholders to sell their securities.
Penny stocks generally are equity securities with a price of less than $5.00 (other than securities registered on certain national securities exchanges or quoted on the NASDAQ system). Penny stock rules require a broker-dealer, prior to a transaction in a penny stock not otherwise exempt from the rules, to deliver a standardized risk disclosure document that provides information about penny stocks and the risks in the penny stock market. The broker-dealer also must provide the customer with current bid and offer quotations for the penny stock, the compensation of the broker-dealer and its salesperson in the transaction, and monthly account statements showing the market value of each penny stock held in the customer’s account. The broker-dealer must also make a special written determination that the penny stock is a suitable investment for the purchaser and receive the purchaser’s written agreement to the transaction. These requirements may have the effect of reducing the level of trading activity, if any, in the secondary market for a security that becomes subject to the penny stock rules. The additional burdens imposed upon broker-dealers by such requirements may discourage broker-dealers from effecting transactions in our securities, which could severely limit the market price and liquidity of our securities. These requirements may restrict the ability of broker-dealers to sell our common stock and may affect your ability to resell our common stock.
There is no assurance of a public market or that our common stock will ever trade on a recognized exchange. Therefore, you may be unable to liquidate your investment in our stock.
There is no established public trading market for our common stock. Our shares have not been listed or quoted on any exchange or quotation system. There can be no assurance that a market maker will agree to file the necessary documents with FINRA, which operates the OTCBB, nor can there be any assurance that such an application for quotation will be approved or that a regular trading market will develop or that if developed, will be sustained. In the absence of a trading market, an investor may be unable to liquidate their investment.
Shares eligible for future sale may adversely affect the market.
From time to time, certain of our stockholders may be eligible to sell all or some of their shares of common stock by means of ordinary brokerage transactions in the open market pursuant to Rule 144, promulgated under the Securities Act, subject to certain limitations. In general, pursuant to Rule 144, non-affiliate stockholders may sell freely after six months subject only to the current public information requirement (which disappears after one year). Affiliates may sell after six months subject to the Rule 144 volume, manner of sale (for equity securities), current public information and notice requirements
Funds raised in this offering are available for immediate use and at the discretion of our management.
The funds raised from this offering of our common stock will be available to the Company for immediate use and such uses as to be determined by our management. Only Kenneth Green, our CEO, will have access to the funds raised. You will not have the right to withdraw your funds during the offering.
SPECIAL NOTE REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS
The information contained in this report, including in the documents incorporated by reference into this report, includes some statement that are not purely historical and that are “forward-looking statements.” Such forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to, statements regarding our and their management’s expectations, hopes, beliefs, intentions or strategies regarding the future, including our financial condition, results of operations. In addition, any statements that refer to projections, forecasts or other characterizations of future events or circumstances, including any underlying assumptions, are forward-looking statements. The words “anticipates,” “believes,” “continue,” “could,” “estimates,” “expects,” “intends,” “may,” “might,” “plans,” “possible,” “potential,” “predicts,” “projects,” “seeks,” “should,” “would” and similar expressions, or the negatives of such terms, may identify forward-looking statements, but the absence of these words does not mean that a statement is not forward-looking.
The forward-looking statements contained in this report are based on current expectations and beliefs concerning future developments and the potential effects on the parties and the transaction. There can be no assurance that future developments actually affecting us will be those anticipated. These that may cause actual results or performance to be materially different from those expressed or implied by these forward-looking statements, including the following forward-looking statements involve a number of risks, uncertainties (some of which are beyond the parties’ control) or other assumptions.
Third Party Data
This prospectus also contains estimates and other information concerning our industry which are based on industry publications, surveys and forecasts, including those generated by us. This information involves a number of assumptions and limitations, and you are cautioned not to give undue weight to these estimates. Please contact us if you have any specific questions. The industry in which we operate is subject to a high degree of uncertainty and risk due to a variety of factors, including those described in “Risk Factors”.
USE OF PROCEEDS
Based on an offering price throughout the offering period of $.10 per share, we estimate the gross proceeds from the sale of 40,000,000 shares of common stock will be $4 million.
We estimate that we will receive net proceeds of approximately $3.95 million. We currently intend to use the net proceeds of this offering for working capital and general corporate purposes with a summary of the use of proceeds shown below:
Working capital | | $ | 1,954,954 | |
| | | | |
Expansion of Services | | | 2,000,000 | |
| | | | |
Expense (legal/accounting) | | | 45,046 | |
| | | | |
Total Gross Proceeds | | $ | 4,000,000 | |
In addition, we may use a portion of any net proceeds to acquire complementary products, technologies or businesses. We will have significant discretion in the use of any net proceeds. Investors will be relying on the judgment of our management regarding the application of the proceeds of any sale of our common stock. We may invest the net proceeds temporarily until we use them for their stated purpose.
If less than 100% of the maximum shares are sold, we will allocate funds according to the table below. We anticipate that amounts raised below 50% of the maximum will result in limited revenue from expansion of operations during the short-term. Expansion of operations includes such items marketing expenditures and, if available, a small acquisition.
Allocation of funds | | | | | | | | | | | | |
| | | | | | | | | | | | |
Amount raised | | $ | 800,000 | | | | 2,000,000 | | | | 3,000,000 | | | | 4,000,000 | |
% of total offering | | | 20 | % | | | 50 | % | | | 75 | % | | | 100 | % |
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
Allocation | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
Working capital | | | 400,000 | | | | 1,000,000 | | | | 1,500,000 | | | | 2,000,000 | |
Expansion | | | 400,000 | | | | 1,000,,000 | | | | 1,500,000 | | | | 2,000,000 | |
TOTAL | | | 800,000 | | | | 2,000,000 | | | | 3,000,000 | | | | 2,000,000 | |
If 20% of the maximum shares are sold, we will continue with utilizing working capital and expansion. However, there would be insufficient funds available for furtherance of the plan of operations as detailed later in this prospectus under the heading "PLAN OF OPERATION."
In the event that only 50% of the maximum shares are sold (approximately $2,000,000), we will be able to further the plan of operation; however, our activities will continue to be restricted.
If 75% of the maximum shares underlying are sold (approximately $3,000,000), there will be sufficient funds to pay a significant portion of all budgeted expenditure items.
DETERMINATION OF OFFERING PRICE
Since our common stock is not listed or quoted on any exchange or quotation system, the offering price of the shares of common stock was determined by the price of the common stock that was sold to our security holders pursuant to an exemption under Section 4(2) of the Securities Act of 1933 and Rule 506 of Regulation D promulgated under the Securities Act of 1933.
The offering price of the shares of our common stock does not necessarily bear any relationship to our book value, assets, past operating results, financial condition or any other established criteria of value. The facts considered in determining the offering price were our financial condition and prospects, our limited operating history and the general condition of the securities market.
Although our common stock is not listed on a public exchange, we will be filing to obtain a listing on the OTCBB concurrently with the filing of this prospectus. In order to be quoted on the OTCBB, a market maker must file an application on our behalf in order to make a market for our common stock. There can be no assurance that a market maker will agree to file the necessary documents with FINRA, which operates the OTC Bulletin Board, nor can there be any assurance that such an application for quotation will be approved.
In addition, there is no assurance that our common stock will trade at market prices in excess of the initial offering price as prices for the common stock in any public market which may develop will be determined in the marketplace and may be influenced by many factors, including the depth and liquidity.
DILUTION
Our net tangible book value as of October 16, 2012 was approximately ($3,525), or ($.00) per share of our common stock. Our net tangible book value per share represents our total tangible assets less total liabilities divided by the number of shares of our common stock outstanding on October 16, 2012. Assuming that we issue all of the shares of our common stock offered by us at the public offering price of $.10 per share, and after deducting the commissions and estimated offering expenses payable by us, our net tangible book value as of October 16, 2012 would have been approximately $4 million, or $.07 per share of our common stock. This amount represents an immediate increase in net tangible book value of $.07 per share to our existing stockholders and an immediate dilution in net tangible book value of $.03 per share to new investors purchasing shares of our common stock in this offering.
We determine dilution by subtracting the adjusted net tangible book value per share after this offering from the public offering price per share of our common stock. The following items influence the dilution in net tangible book value per share to new investors:
| • | | Public offering price per unit |
| • | | Net tangible book value per share as of October 16, 2012 |
| • | | Increase per share attributable to sale of common stock to investors |
| • | | Dilution per share to investors |
| • | | Dilution as a percentage of the offering price |
PLAN OF DISTRIBUTION
Prior to being quoted on the OTC Bulletin Board, shareholders may sell their shares in private transactions to other individuals. Although our common stock is not listed on a public exchange, we will be filing to obtain a listing on the OTCBB concurrently with the filing of this prospectus. In order to be quoted on the OTC Bulletin Board, a market maker must file an application on our behalf in order to make a market for our common stock. There can be no assurance that a market maker will agree to file the necessary documents with FINRA, which operates the OTC Bulletin Board, nor can there be any assurance that such an application for quotation will be approved.
Once a market has developed for our common stock, the shares may be sold or distributed from time to time by the initial stockholders, who may be deemed to be underwriters, directly to one or more purchasers or through brokers or dealers who act solely as agents, at market prices prevailing at the time of sale, at prices related to such prevailing market prices, at negotiated prices or at fixed prices, which may be changed. The distribution of the shares may be effected in one or more of the following methods:
● | ordinary brokers transactions, which may include long or short sales, |
● | transactions involving cross or block trades on any securities or market where our common stock is trading, market where our common stock is trading, |
● | through direct sales to purchasers or sales effected through agents, |
● | through transactions in options, swaps or other derivatives (whether exchange listed of otherwise), or exchange listed or otherwise), or |
● | any combination of the foregoing. |
In addition, the initial stockholders may enter into hedging transactions with broker-dealers who may engage in short sales, if short sales were permitted, of shares in the course of hedging the positions they assume with the initial stockholders. The initial stockholders may also enter into option or other transactions with broker-dealers that require the delivery by such broker-dealers of the shares, which shares may be resold thereafter pursuant to this prospectus. To our best knowledge, none of the initial security holders are broker-dealers or affiliates of broker dealers.
We will advise the initial security holders that the anti-manipulation rules of Regulation M under the Exchange Act may apply to sales of shares in the market and to the activities of the initial security holders and their affiliates. In addition, we will make copies of this prospectus (as it may be supplemented or amended from time to time) available to the initial security holders for the purpose of satisfying the prospectus delivery requirements of the Securities Act. The initial security holders may indemnify any broker-dealer that participates in transactions involving the sale of the shares against certain liabilities, including liabilities arising under the Securities Act.
Brokers, dealers, or agents participating in the distribution of the shares may receive compensation in the form of discounts, concessions or commissions from the initial stockholders and/or the purchasers of shares for whom such broker-dealers may act as agent or to whom they may sell as principal, or both (which compensation as to a particular broker-dealer may be in excess of customary commissions). Neither the initial stockholders nor we can presently estimate the amount of such compensation. We know of no existing arrangements between the initial stockholders and any other stockholder, broker, dealer or agent relating to the sale or distribution of the shares. We will not receive any proceeds from the sale of the shares of the initial security holders pursuant to this prospectus. We have agreed to bear the expenses of the registration of the shares, including legal and accounting fees, and such expenses are estimated to be approximately $50,000.
Notwithstanding anything set forth herein, no FINRA member will charge commissions that exceed 8% of the total proceeds of the offering.

DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS
Our Corporate History and Background
Orion Financial Group, Inc. (the “Company” or “Orion”) was incorporated in the State of Wyoming on March 26, 2012. Orion provides strategic financial consulting services to companies requiring advice in the area of corporate growth strategies. Additionally, the Company provides financing alternatives to executives that seek to purchase (buy-side), divest (sell-side), or recapitalize their public or private company. More specifically, the Company intends to provide consulting services across industry sectors to companies that have revenues between $2.5 million and $100 million.
Under the leadership of a seasoned management team, Orion intends to develop its consulting business segment, as well as, identify and evaluate potential acquisitions that will allow the Company to provide better all-around support. Orion has invested considerable time and resources in the development of its services and products.
Industry Overview
Orion seeks to offer its services to clients across North America. The Company seeks to identify viable engagements in various industries including manufacturing, distribution, energy, logistics, hospitality, air cargo, design & build, architecture & design, food production, viticulture, and aviation support services in states, and provinces across North America. In each case, the target company’s owners or current management team are faced with major corporate development challenges that may prevent them from ascending to the next level of business operations or inhibit strategic acquisitions or divestitures of corporate assets.
Financial Services Market
Orion focuses on providing consulting services to private and public businesses that have the following characteristics: suitable mergers and acquisitions candidate, financially distressed entity, or desire access to capital markets. Orion’s target company will not be industry specific; however, efforts will be directed at companies with the following attributes:
| · | Objective to sell, buy, or expand their business; |
| · | Seeking recapitalization; |
| · | Enterprise Value of $2 to $20 million; |
| · | Profitably operational for at least 3 years; |
| · | Cash flow positive through profitability; |
| · | Auditable financials; and |
Market Demographics
In developing its customer base and in focusing its marketing efforts, it is important to note the following statistics:
| · | The National Federation of Independent Business (NFIB) lists over 350,000 businesses as members. The Company will target these members as well as thousands of privately and publicly owned businesses that fit our target company profile and which are not members of NFIB. |
| · | The U.S. Census Bureau, in its 2004 Economic Census, identifies over 25 million business firms in the U.S. Over 76.8% have no payroll, indicating most are self-employed persons operating unincorporated businesses. Of the remaining 5.9 million employer firms, over 99.7% are “small businesses” according to the U.S definition of less than 500 employees. In 2004, just 17,047 firms (0.28%) had more than 500 employees.2 |
Market Needs
Large numbers of baby boomers own businesses that have not planned for management succession. The Company will target these businesses as suitable candidates for strategic acquisitions.
Similarly, a large percentage of public corporations in the lower and mid-cap classifications are actively looking for suitable, qualified merger and acquisition candidates in the private sectors. Many small public companies often do not have a full time acquisition department to conduct comprehensive vetting of candidate companies. The cost of being public overwhelms many small companies. Accordingly, Orion intends to provide services to these companies to meet company-specific objectives.
Services
The Company intends to establish business relations throughout various industries that will allow the Company to provide the following services: (1) corporate financial consulting (2) mergers and acquisitions assistance (3) due diligence resources.
| · | Corporate Financial Consulting– Full-service, extensive corporate financial consulting that focuses on micro-cap and small cap private and public companies. The Company’s services are based on its management’s extensive experience in a variety of sectors. |
| · | Mergers and Acquisitions Advisory Services– Introduction to short and long-term financing options. Utilization of the Company’s extensive professional network to bring together buyers and sellers to execute transactions. |
| · | Due Diligence Resources– Full documentation, due diligence, evaluation, and formation of integrated business plan to facilitate investment interest in the public and private markets. |
Growth Strategy
Orion plans to expand its consulting services by utilizing a broad marketing strategy as well as looking into strategic acquisitions or joint ventures that will enable the Company to offer clients better products. We will attempt to have strategic alliances/channel partner relationships/authorized reseller relationships. We also intend to be involved with acquisitions of viable, profitable, established middle-market companies that have key management in place.

Competition
There are numerous companies offering services similar to what we provide in every geographic region of the United States. The companies providing these similar services vary from small, mid-sized and large operations. The larger, more established service providers can attain the best clients in terms of highest paying engagements. We are a smaller company at this stage. Accordingly, we intend to compete against small to mid-size firms within the small-cap company space by providing exceptional services at affordable prices.
DESCRIPTION OF PROPERTY
Our principal executive office is located at 1739 Creekstone Circle San Jose, CA 95133 and our telephone number is 408-691-0806. We use this property free of charge.
LEGAL PROCEEDINGS
From time to time, we may become involved in various lawsuits and legal proceedings, which arise, in the ordinary course of business. However, litigation is subject to inherent uncertainties, and an adverse result in these or other matters may arise from time to time that may harm our business. We are currently not aware of any such legal proceedings or claims that we believe will have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition or operating results.
MARKET FOR COMMON EQUITY AND RELATED STOCKHOLDER MATTERS
There is presently no public market for our shares of common stock. We anticipate applying for quotation of our common stock on the OTCBB upon the effectiveness of the registration statement of which this prospectus forms a part. However, we can provide no assurance that our shares of common stock will be quoted on the OTCBB or, if quoted, that a public market will materialize.

Note 2 - Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Basis of Presentation
The accompanying financial statements have been prepared on the accrual basis of accounting in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States.
In preparing the accompanying audited financial statements, we evaluated the period from June 30, 2012 through the date the financial statements were issued for material subsequent events requiring recognition or disclosure. (See note 5)
Development Stage Company
The Company is currently a development stage enterprise reporting under the provisions of the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 915. Those standards require the Company to disclose its activities since the date of inception.
Cash Equivalents
In accordance with FASB ASC Topic 230-10-50-6, “Statement of Cash Flows”, the Company considers all highly liquid debt instruments with a maturity of three months or less when purchased to be cash equivalents.
Deferred Income Taxes
The Company accounts for income taxes in accordance with FASB ASC Topic 740 which requires that deferred tax assets and liabilities be recognized for future tax consequences attributable to differences between financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases. In addition, FASB ASC 740 requires recognition of future tax benefits, such as carryforwards, to the extent that realization of such benefits is more likely than not and that a valuation allowance be provided when it is more likely than not that some portion of the deferred tax asset will not be realized.
Fair Value Of Financial Instruments
The Company adopted the guidance of FASB ASC 820 for fair value measurements which clarifies the definition of fair value, prescribes methods for measuring fair value, and establishes a fair value hierarchy to classify the inputs used in measuring fair value as follows:
Level 1-Inputs are unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities available at the measurement date.
Note 2 - Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued)
Fair Value Of Financial Instruments (continued)
Level 2-Inputs are unadjusted quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets, quoted prices for identical or similar assets and liabilities in markets that are not active, inputs other than quoted prices that are observable, and inputs derived from or corroborated by observable market data.
Level 3-Inputs are unobservable inputs which reflect the reporting entity’s own assumptions on what assumptions the market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability based on the best available information.
The carrying amounts reported in the balance sheet for cash, accounts payable and accrued expenses approximate their fair market value based on the short-term maturity of these instruments. The Company did not identify any assets or liabilities that are required to be presented on the balance sheet at fair value in accordance with the accounting guidance.
Accounts Payable And Accrued Expenses
Accounts payable and accrued expenses at June 30, 2012 amounted to $3,525 and mainly consist of unpaid professional fees.
Use Of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
In May 2011, the FASB issued ASU No. 2011-04, Fair Value Measurement (Topic 820): Amendments to Achieve Common Fair Value Measurement and Disclosure Requirements in U.S. GAAP and IFRSs. The ASU expands existing disclosure requirements and amends some fair value measurement principles. The ASU was effective for interim periods beginning on or after December 15, 2011, with early adoption prohibited and prospective application required. The adoption by the Company did not have a material effect on its financial statements except for enhanced disclosure in the notes to its financial statements.
In January 2010, the FASB expanded the disclosure requirements for fair value measurements relating to the transfers in and out of Level 2 measurements and amended the disclosure for the Level 3 activity reconciliation to be presented on a gross basis. In addition, valuation techniques and inputs should be disclosed for both Levels 2 and 3 recurring and nonrecurring measurements. The new requirements are effective for interim and annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2009, except for the disclosures about the Level 3 activity reconciliation which are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2010. The adoption of the above pronouncements did not have an impact on the Company’s financial condition, results of operations or cash flows.
Note 3 – Going Concern
The Company’s financial statements are prepared using generally accepted accounting principles applicable to a going concern that contemplates the realization of assets and liquidation of liabilities in the normal course of business. The Company has not established any source of revenue to cover its operating costs. If the Company is unable to obtain revenue producing contracts or financing, or if the revenue or financing it does obtain is insufficient to cover any operating losses it may incur, it may substantially curtail or terminate its operations or seek other business opportunities through strategic alliances, acquisitions or other arrangements that may dilute the interests of existing stockholders. The Company raised $86,000 through issuing common stock to an investor during August, 2012. The proceeds will cover most of the liabilities and cost of its operations.
Note 4 – Stock Authorization and Issuance
According to Articles of Incorporation of Orion Financial Group Inc, the Company is authorized to issue 100,000,000 shares of common stock. As of June 30, 2012, none of the common stock was issued and outstanding.
Note 5 – Subsequent Events
The company issued 56,164,350 founders shares at par value of $.001 per share in July. The Company issued 1,044,045 shares in August for $86,000 at a price of $0.082 per share. In October, 2012 the company issued 330,000 shares to 33 investors for $330, or $.001 per share.
$25,000 was prepaid as salary to Ken Green, CEO, from July to November, 2012.

In assessing loss contingencies related to legal proceedings that are pending against us or unasserted claims that may result in such proceedings, our legal counsel evaluates the perceived merits of any legal proceedings or unasserted claims as well as the perceived merits of the amount of relief sought or expected to be sought.
To the best of our knowledge, none of our directors or executive officers has been convicted in a criminal proceeding, excluding traffic violations or similar misdemeanors, or has been a party to any judicial or administrative proceeding during the past five years that resulted in a judgment, decree, or final order enjoining the person from future violations of, or prohibiting activities subject to, federal or state securities laws, or a finding of any violation of federal or state securities laws, except for matters that were dismissed without sanction or settlement. Except as set forth in our discussion below in “Certain Relationships and Related Transactions, and Director Independence – Transactions with Related Persons,” none of our directors, director nominees, or executive officers has been involved in any transactions with us or any of our directors, executive officers, affiliates, or associates which are required to be disclosed pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Commission.

Item 12A. Disclosure of Commission Position on Indemnification of Securities Act Liabilities
Our directors and officers are indemnified as provided by the Wyoming corporate law and our Bylaws. We have agreed to indemnify each of our directors and certain officers against certain liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act of 1933. Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act of 1933 may be permitted to our directors, officers and controlling persons pursuant to the provisions described above, or otherwise, we have been advised that in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act of 1933 and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other than our payment of expenses incurred or paid by our director, officer or controlling person in the successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or controlling person in connection with the securities being registered, we will, unless in the opinion of our counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.

(1) To file, during any period in which offers or sales are being made, a post-effective amendment to this registration statement:
i. To include any prospectus required by section 10(a)(3) of the Securities Act of 1933;
ii. To reflect in the prospectus any facts or events arising after the effective date of the registration statement (or the most recent post-effective amendment thereof) which, individually or in the aggregate, represent a fundamental change in the information set forth in the registration statement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any increase or decrease in volume of securities offered (if the total dollar value of securities offered would not exceed that which was registered) and any deviation from the low or high end of the estimated maximum offering range may be reflected in the form of prospectus filed with the Commission pursuant to Rule 424(b) if, in the aggregate, the changes in volume and price represent no more than 20% change in the maximum aggregate offering price set forth in the "Calculation of Registration Fee" table in the effective registration statement.
iii. To include any material information with respect to the plan of distribution not previously disclosed in the registration statement or any material change to such information in the registration statement;
(2) That, for the purpose of determining any liability under the Securities Act of 1933, each such post-effective amendment shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.

Provided, however, that no statement made in a registration statement or prospectus that is part of the registration statement or made in a document incorporated or deemed incorporated by reference into the registration statement or prospectus that is part of the registration statement will, as to a purchaser with a time of contract of sale prior to such first use, supersede or modify any statement that was made in the registration statement or prospectus that was part of the registration statement or made in any such document immediately prior to such date of first use.
