Online Training

 

Working capital financing for a growing business can be very profitable for a commercial bank. However, lenders should recognize the risks and possess the credit skills required for such lending.  These skills are especially important for lenders currently managing working capital lines of credit but have inadequate training in C&I lending.

 

Seminar Key Topics

  • Understanding the risks in working capital financing
  • Determining the appropriate amount of a line of credit
  • Recognizing the warning signs of the high-risk borrower
  • Rigorously evaluating accounts receivable and inventory
  • Structuring and monitoring a working capital line of credit
  • Protecting and liquidating working capital collateral

 

Who should attend? Commercial lenders, loan portfolio managers, credit analysts, underwriters, loan review officers and anyone who desires to increase their commercial lending skills. 

 

Opening Topics

The seminar begins with an overview of working capital lending with a special emphasis on permanent working capital loans.  We outline the risks associated with this type of lending. Attendees then review an approach for estimating the appropriate amount of a line for a potential borrower. And, how to avoid the common mistakes in determining the amount of a line of credit.

The Desirable Working Capital Borrower

Not all businesses are suitable for working capital financing. Therefore, we review the characteristics of a Desirable Working Capital Borrower.  These characteristics have shown to lessen credit risk and enhance the likelihood of a profitable lending relationship. Additionally, we outline Potential Warning Signs of High Credit Risk.  Signs that a lender may view as a warning flag and to approach with caution.

 

Evaluating the Borrower.

The next step for a lender is to evaluate the operating & financial management of the business. Attendees review a checklist as to specific questions that a lender should  ask of the borrower. These questions provide a framework for developing an understanding of the operations of the business. Next, a lender needs to gauge the quality of the receivables and inventory. Once again, we outline a list of questions pertaining to the receivables and inventory. The answers to these questions will provide an insight as to the quality of these working assets. Lastly, attendees review an outline for determining a liquidation value of inventory.

 

Structuring & Monitoring the Line of Credit

Key topics in the section include,

  • Loan Structuring: Credit Concerns
  • Guidelines for Structuring
  • Typical Financial Covenants
  • Monitoring, Control & Documentation
  • Accounts Receivable & Inventory Eligibility
  • Structuring a Borrowing Base
  • Non-Notification Receivable Financing
  • Loan Monitoring & Compliance

 

Working Capital Loan Agreement 

We review the structure and key components of a realistic sample working capital loan agreement. Due to the nature of the lending, C&I loan agreements differ significantly from other commercial loan agreements.  Attendees learn how a lender uses the agreement to manage and monitor credit risk in a working capital borrowing relationship.
