Lending to Business
Is this business credit-worthy? Unless you have GAAP financials prepared by a reliable source, you need to be able to assess the health of the business and determine cashflow available to pay debt from analysis of the tax returns.
Less experienced lenders will build the foundation for analysis. Seasoned lenders will fill in the gaps and improve their ability to mentor junior lenders.
