Boss Brewing Inc. – Connecting Capital Structure & Credit Structure
Understanding a borrowing request and its associated risks is a critical skill for commercial lenders. In this practice lab, we’ll step into the shoes of a SME lender to analyze a borrowing request from both the lender and borrower’s perspectives, with an eye to understanding how the proposed credit structure may impact the client’s capital structure and other important financial ratios.
We’ll analyze the client’s financial statements and look to identify how their priorities may differ from those of the lender, before working towards a proposal that will satisfy the needs of both parties.
