Course Details

Loan structuring is simply designing the loan to fulfill the financing requirements of the borrower while simultaneously attempting to protect the lender against loss resulting from the failure of the borrower to repay the debt and the interest and fees thereon.

Loan structuring involves several elements, including purpose, amount, collateral and type of loan, risk recognition and mitigation, pricing, and financial covenants. All of these elements must work for both the borrower and the lender within the two definitions above.

Loan & Transaction Structuring Masterclass Training Course aimed at mid-level corporate bankers, analysts, product and client servicing and support teams wanting to gain an understanding of how credit assessment, loan structuring, cash flow analysis and loan covenants can be used effectively to ensure corporate client borrowing needs are matched and serviced by the appropriate bank loan facility.

Participants are not expected to be lending experts but a basic understanding of bank lending products and some lending exposures would be helpful.

At the end of the Loan & Transaction Structuring Masterclass Training Course, you will be able to:

dentify the key elements of credit risk
Understand the working capital cycle of a business
Measure, quantify and evaluate the actual borrowing needs of the client (lend them what they need as opposed to what they want or think they need).
Assess the risk of lending the client what they actually need
Understand the difference between short, medium and long term loans and the risk profiles
Analyse the cash flows – the source of our repayment over the length of the loan
Select the most appropriate lending structure
Decide whether security is required
Select appropriate documentation and loan covenants to manage the loan
Learn how ongoing management of the loan is vital
Be clear that the practice of “following the bank’s money” must always be implemented
