Repaying Loans: Cashflow, Collateral, And Personal Guarantees
Before approving any business loan request, a lender should be convinced that a business has the ability to repay debt based on its cashflow. If a business is not successful however, a lender may need to rely on either personal guarantees or the security pledged as collateral in order to be repaid. This program will explore these three means of getting repaid and identify the challenges that lenders face in each scenario.
