Course description
ED201 - Business Credit Analysis
In ED201, the second course in the EDFP Certification Program™, participants build on the financial analysis and deal structuring techniques learned in ED101 through investigation of advanced methods used to analyze the creditworthiness of operating small businesses. The credit analysis and underwriting procedures of commercial lenders are tailored to the unique concerns of economic development lenders. In both the in-class and split online/in-class versions of ED201, participants spread and analyze the financial statements of numerous actual companies—manufacturing, service, retail—and use economic development finance programs to structure fixed asset and permanent working capital financing packages.
