FBA 2025 Commercial Lending School | The Florida Hotel, Orlando
Registration and Hotel Room Block link coming soon!

Below are the details from the 2024 School for historical purposes:

February 27-29, 2024 - The Florida Hotel, Orlando

​Many community bank commercial borrowers lack access to the quality of financial skills that Commercial bank loan officers can provide.  Commercial lenders have an opportunity to add value to the borrower/bank relationship by becoming consultants to their clients, without venturing into areas that can invite lender liability issues.  The intent is to provide the business owner with a view of their business from the number’s perspective, to inform their decision making. 

We will also provide experienced Florida based attorneys to cover Florida law relative to Loan Agreements and Documentation requirements.  The overall intent of the school is to build and refresh lending skills that are usable the day after the school.  This school is designed to be informative, participatory, and fun. 

The school uses Lecture and Case Studies, with several opportunities for students to make presentations of credits.​

​Who Should Attend? This three-day school is designed for Commercial Lenders, Credit Analysist, Loan Review Officers, Management Trainees, Portfolio Managers, Branch Managers, and Senior Loan Operation Officers.
