About the Webinar

How to Lend to Business Borrowers Over the Business Cycle

As borrowers and lenders work through the business cycle, credit needs change as well. Lenders must be ready to recognize the changes and accommodate their clients’ requirements, and credit approvers must be prepared to evaluate and adjudicate the impact of these changes on underwriting, approval and credit risk management.

Business cycles are inevitable and risk managers must learn to identify and evaluate clients’ relative vulnerability to recessions.

In this session, you will learn:

• How borrowers’ credit needs change over four phases of business cycle
• Industries most vulnerable to recession and those industries less susceptible to recession
• Portfolio and credit management techniques and lending options over the business cycle
• A recession checklist to diagnose and improve cyclical commercial loan portfolio management
