Learning Objective

  • To discuss the fundamental components of the Five Cs of Credit Analysis and their role in commercial lending assessments.
  • To analyze and apply the Five Cs—Capacity, Conditions, Collateral, Character—to assess a borrower's repayment capacity and willingness.
  • To explain and evaluate a borrower's repayment Capacity through comprehensive cash flow analysis.
  • To inspect and assess the impact of industry Conditions on lending risks and borrowing needs across business cycles.
  • To explore Collateral values and leverage analysis in assessing asset-backed lending risks.
  • To analyze the role of Character in evaluating borrower willingness to repay, emphasizing payment history and fraud prevention measures.

Course Overview

In the realm of commercial lending, understanding the Five Cs of Credit is paramount. Lenders rely on these fundamental elements to gauge borrowers' financial health and repayment capabilities. The first aspect, Capacity, scrutinizes a borrower's ability to repay through sustained cash flow generated by stable financial conditions and robust operational performance.

A critical step in the lending process involves projecting a borrower's financial performance. This necessitates a comprehensive analysis of underlying assumptions like revenue growth, productivity, and profitability ratios. By forecasting financial statements, including income, balance sheet, and cash flow, lenders quantify future cash flows available for debt repayment, dividends, and investments, vital for the borrower's successful operation.

Moreover, exploring Shareholder Value is integral. Evaluating the discounted value of future cash flows and key drivers contributes to sustaining business commitments. Emphasizing working capital management and productive capital expenditures fosters increased shareholder value.

Major Topics Covered

  • 5 C's of Credit
  • Global Cash Flow (GCF) and Global Debt Service Coverage (GDSC)
  • 4 Stages of  the Business Cycle
  • Resources and capabilities: Value Chain Analysis
  • Possible sources of information on character

Our online webinar by Dev Strischek aims to elucidate these concepts. Participants will delve into the first four Cs - Capacity, Conditions, Collateral, and Character - integral in assessing repayment ability. Additionally, we'll explore how Character, the fifth C, plays a pivotal role in evaluating a borrower's willingness to repay. Capacity gauges repayment ability through cash flow, while Conditions and Collateral delve into industry vulnerabilities and asset liquidation values, respectively. Lastly, Character assesses the borrower's willingness to repay, evidenced by payment history, accompanied by fraud prevention tips.

Join us in this Finance course to master the Five Cs of Commercial Credit, empowering yourself with a comprehensive understanding of credit and lending essentials.
