Banking Relationship and Facility Agreement Management

Many finance teams sign facility agreements without fully understanding the covenants that will later restrict their options during a downturn. This course explains how commercial banks assess corporate borrowers, how to read and negotiate loan covenants, security and events of default clauses, and how to manage the ongoing banking relationship so facilities remain available when they are most needed.
