“Banks have quietly turned on the lending spigot.” That recent headline, confirmed by industry statistics, indicates that the economy may finally be shifting out of neutral and into first gear. Increasingly confident businesses looking to expand will create attractive opportunities for banks that want to increase their commercial loan portfolios. But these opportunities come swaddled in layers of risk, as a still uncertain outlook will challenge banks and their business borrowers alike. Whether your bank is thinking about entering (or re-entering) the commercial lending waters or has already taken that plunge, now is a good time to review the best practices that will keep your lending program on a steady and profitable course. Session 10 in our continuing commercial credit training series focuses on the underwriting strategies and internal controls needed to originate sound loans and the problem-solving skills required to keep troubled loans from becoming nonperforming assets. Commercial lending specialist Mark Uhler’s pre-recorded session will cover the entire commercial lending spectrum, from the basics:

  • Structuring loans
  • Analyzing cash flow
  • Appraising Collateral
  • Maximizing profits

to the more complex:

  • Problem solving
  • Grading loans
  • Conducting peer group analysis
  • Stress testing and trend analysis
