2-Howto identify the critical elements of the profit and loss statement and their roles in driving a business borrower’s  operating performance.

Overview:

Pandemic-era balance sheets are misleading. Learn how to evaluate the true financial condition of borrowers.

Government subsidies and operating oddities caused by COVID-19 have hit the balance sheets of potential borrowers. Relying on outdated expectations can lead you to approve risky loans and ignore viable opportunities to expand your lending portfolio.

You urgently need to update your procedures for evaluating loan applicants’ liquidity, leverage, and solvency. By analyzing and interpreting internal trends, you can compare them to industry averages and evaluate their impact on repayment ability. Focus in this area will allow you to justify lucrative loans and avoid undue risk.
