In troubled economic times, many businesses will opt to restructure their debt in an attempt to extend their credit and avoid defaulting on their loan. From a lending perspective, the restructuring of loans is also the preferred route—particularly in times of tightening credit. Lenders have several options to help move borrowers back to stable ground. The SRS Acquiom team of loan professionals offers this checklist to help lenders navigate these situations.
