Curriculum

Overview of this Topic 

If you make loans, you will encounter problem loans.  No lender intends to make a problem loan, lending institutions must anticipate having some level of problem loans and loan losses. Problem Loans are simply a by-product of the business of lending. While there are different strategies for managing and resolving problem loans, the underlying problem is the same – a lack of cash flow to pay their creditors and operating costs.

Resolving problems can be expensive and difficult, and managing problem loans properly is a complex, time-consuming task, frequently requiring specialized knowledge and expertise in, credit analysis, bankruptcy and security laws, as well as negotiating. The overriding objective in managing problem loans is to improve the lender’s position enough to get repaid in full.

This webinar provides an overview for those wanting to know the basics of sound problem asset management.
