Commercial Loan Documentation: The Loan Process and Documentation in Support of Commercial Loan Decisions

  • Training

  • 100 Minutes
  • Compliance Online
  • ID: 5974587
The purpose of this 90-minute session is to provide participants with a good understanding of the loan documentation process requirements. Among other key learnings, participants will be exposed to the five steps in the loan documentation process. Each of the five steps requires certain documents to accomplish their respective purpose. The participant will develop an understanding of each of these documents and learn when to use them.

Why Should You Attend:

The lending process includes the following phases: application, investigation, evaluation, decision documentation, administration, and collection. All of these phases require some form of documentation in order to protect the bank's interest. This part of the lending process is essential in order to avoid loan losses due to poor documentation especially during a bankruptcy case. Many community banks assign this important responsibility to loan officers and loan administrators. If not performed accurately, poor documentation can cause loans to be essentially unsecured or unguaranteed where the bank is expected to have some form of credit enhancement (collateral) as a secondary source of repayment.

This webinar on commercial loan documentation will focus on providing attendees with a sound working knowledge of the purpose and significance of each document in the lending process. It will offer a broad overview of the loan documents' provisions to borrowers while enabling attendees to identify and document the collateral.
