Credit Bootcamp Part 5: Proper Credit Structure

Bankers are not order takers. We add value by solving our clients' problems. Fully analyzing the loan request and recognizing that each request starts with a cash shortfall is crucial.

By structuring the financing properly, understanding the right credit type, setting the right pricing for the risk, presenting the right documentation, linking the right collateral, and requiring the right covenants all set the expectations of the borrower.
