For several years CAMEO has been offering this successful microlending underwriting class for the CDFI and business-coaching nonprofit community as a two-day, in-person training. This year, we are offering this course in an online format.
Developed by Susan Brown, CAMEO’s VP of Capacity Building, this introductory training covers multiple analyses: global cash, credit history, debt-to-income and bank statement. Participants also underwrite and write credit memos for three actual microloan applications.
Susan, who has been working in the microenterprise industry since its early years in the U.S., developed this introductory training with input from some of the strongest lenders in the field today.
