Healthcare 2021 - Cash Flow Analysis Of Borrower's Repayment Ability

Overview:
There is an old saying in credit analysis, "Borrowers pay back loans from cash flow, not profits." But it is not just cash flow; it is cash flow from operations that is the most desirable source of repayment because it is generated by a borrower managing its working capital assets and earning a sustainable profit.
This webinar will explain the difference between profits and cash flow as well as cash flow from operations vs. cash flow from financing and investing activities. After all, borrowing from another lender or liquidating fixed assets to pay you back ultimately hurts the long-term viability of the borrower.

By the end of the session, you will see how cash flow is incorporated into the analysis and underwriting of a business borrower.
