Wednesday, May 1, 2024
Both Parts 1 & 2 (with 1/2 hour break)
12:00 – 3:30 pm (Eastern Time)

Good underwriting is critical to the success of a loan, but so is good loan structure.  In a well-structured loan, the Lender:

  • Understands what the borrower is using the money for;
  • Has identified multiple sources of repayment;
  • Loaned the borrower enough money, but not too much and given the borrower enough time, but not too long;
  • Has carefully analyzed collateral and established an appropriate advance rate;
  • Put in place a framework for monitoring the lending relationship.  He or she has properly documented the loan and attached and perfected the bank's interest in the collateral;
  • Most importantly, has established a level of expectations with the borrower about financial reporting, financial performance and repayment of the debt. 

After completing this webinar, participants will be able to:

  • Identify the elements of loan structure
  • Properly utilize short-term/seasonal loans, term loans, bridge loans and permanent capital loans
