UPCOMING WEBINAR
Proper Debt Structure: Matching Loan Terms to Loan Purpose
July 23
A loan structure that doesn't match its purpose can quietly strain a farm or ranch's finances for years, like a short-term note covering a long-term asset, or payments that outlast the equipment they financed.
The webinar will walk through how to evaluate whether your debt structure actually fits how your operation works. It will cover how to match repayment terms to the useful life of what's being financed, questions to ask when a lender proposes new terms, and warning signs that a loan structure may be creating cash flow problems down the road.
