Logistics businesses can be difficult to assess using standard credit models. Fuel costs, freight rates, working capital cycles, fleet utilisation and cross-border risks can all change a borrower’s financial position quickly.
Effective Logistics Credit Analysis helps banking professionals understand these sector-specific risks and translate operational data into stronger financing decisions.

Over five days, participants combine credit assessment, financial modeling and trade finance techniques to evaluate logistics and transportation businesses with greater accuracy.

They also examine how changes in freight rates, demand or operating costs can affect profitability and debt service.
Through Logistics Financial Modeling, participants can test assumptions before making lending recommendations.

Vehicle utilisation, customer concentration, route exposure, commodity prices and supply chain disruptions can all influence performance.
The course helps participants identify these factors and determine how they affect Logistics Credit Analysis.
