Return to normal?

Yield curves are steepening as financial markets start to resemble some facets of ‘normal behaviour’, but a return to the office 5 days a week seems like it will never return…

→ how do we benchmark useful rules of thumb when some things seem to have changed forever?

Well there is one thing with never change – when business owners need new finance and banks assess new loan applications, the major judgement is…..can the proposed debt be serviced by the cashflow generated by the business with a margin of safety for both the borrower and lender?

Yes, the views of acceptable leverage will change as both the economic outlook and credit policies adjust over time – but the core focus on repayment is the central issue – and one where interests are aligned for both bank and client. It is in everyones interest that loans are repaid on time and without surprises.
