This model evaluates specialty loans secured by guaranteed contracts, structured as a 36-month facility with a 12-month deferral period followed by 24 months of principal and interest payments. The analysis covers the full underwriting lifecycle from initial credit assessment through approval recommendation.
- Comprehensive credit assessment
- Dual sensitivity analysis: 30 stress-test scenarios
- 36-month amortization schedule with 12-month deferral
- Underwriting standards compliance framework
- Risk identification and mitigation strategy
- Personal financial statement construction
- 5 C's credit assessment (Character, Capacity, Capital, Collateral, Conditions)- Amortization schedule: 36-month term with 12-month deferral period
Deferral Period: 12 months (0 payments)
Repayment Period: 24 months (principal + interest)
Total Term: 36 months- Sensitivity analysis: 30 scenarios
Stress Test Variables:
Interest Rate Range: 5% – 12%
Term Range: 24 – 36 months
Output: Minimum Annual DSCR, Total Interest Income- Four-year cash flow analysis
Net Cash Flow = Guaranteed Salary - Documented Expenses
Available for Debt Service = Net Cash Flow (annual)- Interest Reserve & Fees
Interest Reserve = 1% of Loan Amount (funded upfront)
Origination Fee = 3% of Loan Amount
Documentation Fee = 10% of Loan Amount
Total Fees = Interest Reserve + Origination Fee + Documentation Fee- Personal financial statement (PFS)
- Balance sheet of liquid and non-liquid assets
- Debt Service Coverage (DSCR)
DSCR = Annual Net Cash Flow / Annual Debt Service- Monthly Payment Calculation (PMT)
Monthly Payment = PMT(monthly_rate, number_of_months, -loan_amount)
Total Interest = (Monthly Payment × Term) - Loan Amount- Amortization
Beginning Balance = Prior Month Ending Balance
Interest Payment = Beginning Balance × Monthly Rate
Principal Payment = Monthly Payment - Interest Payment
Ending Balance = Beginning Balance - Principal Payment- Loan-to-Contract (LTCg)
LTCg = Loan Amount / Remaining Guaranteed Salary- Debt-to-Asset (DTA)
DTA = Total Liabilities / Total Assets- Debt-to-Income (DTI)
DTI = Monthly Debt Obligation / Monthly Income- Interest coverage
Interest Coverage = Annual Net Cash Flow / Annual Interest Expense- Liquidity and collateral coverage (Liquidity buffer: months of available cash relative to monthly debt service)
Collateral Coverage = Remaining Guaranteed Salary / Loan Amount
Liquidity = Liquid Assets / Monthly Debt Service-
