Before approving any business loan request, a lender should be convinced of the applicant's ability to service debt through cash flow. If a business is not successful in generating enough cash flow to service debt, a lender may need to rely on either personal guarantees or the security pledged as collateral in order to be repaid. This program will explore these three means of getting repaid, as well as identify challenges lenders face in each scenario.

- Cash Flow: What it is and how to measure it
- Collateral Coverage

- Personal Guarantees: When they're useful and how to leverage them
