How creditworthy is your contractor customer?
Course Overview
Analyzing Construction Contractors includes a review of the two primary accounting methods, plus tax implications; a discussion of the content and purpose of the "contractor status report"; a section on credit analysis; and practical guidance on assessing the contractor's ability to repay the loan through cash flow rather than collateral or guarantees.
Credit analysis topics include financing sources, company overview, financial analysis, operating performance, liquidity, leverage, and solvency. The Participant's Manual and the course textbook, Analyzing Construction Contractors, are integrated to allow easy comparisons between classroom notes and particular topics in the textbook.
