Financial Analysis
(1 day)

DESCRIPTION
Assessing your business partner’s financial stability is not always easy. Business reports are comprehensive and one needs to reflect in order to realize what stands behinds the figures!
But the evaluation is unavoidable since an estimated 70% of global sales are generated by business to business trade, where companies first pay when they receive funds from their clients, in 30, 60, 120 or however many days. To finance their operations, companies seek to get credit, either from banks or their suppliers. Credit Management is about responding to the customer’s request for credit terms and defining credit conditions.
In this interactive Live Course, you will learn about financial analysis and credit scoring. You will learn how to assess your customer’s current financial capacities and set suitable credit line that allows you to mitigate credit risks without jeopardizing sales growth.
