Five C's of Credit Have you ever wondered how bankers decide who gets money? Nowadays, there is a myriad of government regulations and required documentation, but there is also a method of determining credit-worthiness that has been used for centuries. The 5 C's of Credit are: CHARACTER What sort of person are you? What is your track record, your credit history? CAPACITY How much can you safely borrow? CAPITAL How much of your own money is at risk and is it enough to provide a cushion for the bank? CONDITIONS What are the prevailing and anticipated economic and competitive conditions? Is the economy you work in getting stronger, weaker, or remaining the same? Is the in dustry you are in thriving or shrinking? COLLATERAL With what hard assets can you back up a loan? Bankers don't take collateral because they want to be in the secondhand equip ment or real estate business they know that if you have assets at risk, you will stick to your business when things go wrong. How does your banker answer these ques tions about you and your business? The answer: from your business plan, your credit report, and from you. Remember, a personal interview for a loan or line of credit is similar to a job interview: plan, plan. If you are applying for a business loan, contact Small Business Development for as sistance in preparing for the interview and loan applications.
