A quick structure you can reuse for interview cases and credit write-ups.
Use this short frame in interviews:
- Business quality: what generates cash, what is cyclic, where concentration risk sits.
- Leverage + coverage: debt capacity and downside room.
- Key risks: what can go wrong in 12–24 months.
- Structure + mitigants: covenants, collateral, pricing, and docs.
- Decision: would you lend here, under what terms, and why.
The goal is not to sound “smart.” The goal is to sound investable.
A strong executive summary is concise, risk-aware, and explicit on trade-offs.
