Like any other business, construction business is exposed to a number of general and specific risks. In order to make sound decisions, it is important to learn how to conduct a high-quality and comprehensive analysis, identify risks, define risk mitigation approaches and assess the likelihood of arrears for a disbursed loan.
In this course, you will:
- Study the key elements of MSME credit risk assessment.
- Learn about the risks to which construction business and all its participants are exposed (including the general contractor and sub-contractors).
- Study the key characteristics of the construction industry and get recommendations for minimising risks associated with financed projects.
- Learn to conduct a SWOT-analysis giving consideration to the specifics of the construction industry.
- Learn to use the recommendations to make sound decisions, prepare payment schedules and conduct monitoring.
The course consists of four lessons:
Lesson 1. Credit risks in construction business finance
Lesson 2. SWOT-analysis in construction
Lesson 3. Making decisions on financing construction business
