FALL COURSE OFFERING
2012-2013 COURSE SCHEDULE
Learn the basics of selling credit products and performing credit analysis on local governments on Thursday, November 15th with the course, Lending to Municipalities.
Lending to Municipalities Thursday, November 15, 2012 Building Small Business Loan Relationships Monday, February 25, 2013
Financial Institutions have identified local governments as an important target market for credit opportunities which can lead to lucrative fee-based business, such as cash management, investment management, and custody. Additionally, financial institutions find that being selected by local municipalities can create significant goodwill in the community, which can be beneficial in marketing to consumers and businesses in the area. This course explores the significant differences between selling credit products and performing credit analysis on local governments versus lending to commercial institutions and other nonprofits. Participants will learn to identify opportunities for marketing credit to local governments, to discuss potential credit offerings and financial performance with prospects, and to ask for the appropriate information necessary to seek credit approval. At the completion of this course, participants will understand how to use financial statements and other information to effectively underwrite or approve municipal credits.
