Overview

Corporate Borrower Credit Analysis and Structuring Course is a five-day professional course for corporate credit analysts, relationship managers, lending officers, risk professionals, and portfolio reviewers. Participants move from business and industry assessment through normalized financial statements, cash flow, leverage, repayment capacity, facility structure, collateral, covenants, risk rating, credit recommendation, and post-approval monitoring. They leave with a Corporate Credit Decision File. Agile Leaders Training Center delivers this corporate credit analysis course for evidence-based lending decisions rather than general FP&A, retail credit, or collections.
