Course Details

This course is designed to give all lending practitioners a strong foundation in the underwriting of micro and small businesses, whether they have little or no experience or would like a refresher.

Participants will analyze financial statements and other types of financial information using a variety of commonly used financial ratios and will discuss both the benefits and limitations of these methods. Participants will learn how to structure loans to mitigate different types of risks.
