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.
