The training has proven essential for preparing new credit analysts & lenders for their role in generating sound commercial loans.

Unlike traditional webinars, Commercial Financial Analysis seminars is conducted as interactive online workshops. Attendees actively participate in the training, ensuring a more engaging and immersive learning experience.

How We Conduct Our Training as a Workshop

Each day of training revolves around reviewing loan requests that are representative of today's lending environment. We begin by examining a loan request from a Sole Proprietorship, followed by an S Corporation, and conclude with a CRE Partnership. In each case study, attendees are tasked with generating the cash flow of the borrower/guarantor using federal tax returns, business financial information, and personal financial statements. Furthermore, we thoroughly analyze the most probable credit concerns that lenders would encounter when underwriting these loans.
