Build stronger loans from the start! This foundational webinar will prepare analysts to master the five Cs of credit, create defendable loan structures, and develop covenants that hold up under scrutiny. The program will focus on practical underwriting for CRE, C&I, and agricultural borrowers. Participants will learn how to evaluate borrower business plans, industry conditions, repayment sources, collateral support, and key risk factors. The session will also emphasize how to translate underwriting analysis into clearer credit memos, stronger recommendations, and more consistent communication with lenders, senior lenders, and credit administration.
