Commercial lenders recently joined Lerch Early for a lively and informative seminar on how to negotiate commercial loans. What are the most important elements of each provision, and where can you give a bit to the other side? What do you need to know to make a deal that leaves both bank and borrower happy?
What They Learned
How to negotiate the most favorable terms related to:
- Monetary and non-monetary defaults
- Application of insurance proceeds after a casualty
- Confession of judgment
- Guaranties, including recourse and non-recourse carveouts
- Permitted transfers of ownership interests
- The death, legal incapacitation and disability of individual borrowers/guarantors
You’ll leave knowing how to communicate expectations and concerns early in the loan process, setting the foundation for developing long-term relationships with your borrowers.
