C for Yourselves the 5 C's of Credit

Recorded Session
60 Minutes

The first four C’s—capacity, conditions, collateral, and character-- evaluate a borrower’s ability to repay, but character forces the lender to examine closely the borrower’s willingness to repay. 

WHY SHOULD YOU ATTEND?

Bankers have relied on the 5 C’s of credit—capacity, conditions, collateral, capital, and character for many years, but what do these terms really mean, and how do lenders use them to determine whether a potential borrower is creditworthy?  This credit model is simple to understand and easy to use.  Attend the session to C for yourselves.

LEARNING OBJECTIVES

  • capacity measured by the ability to repay from cash flow
