Credit & Lending Assignment
Question 1 -
You've been introduced to Rhodes Haulage Ltd by a referral source that you've been cultivating for some time with a view to generating new business for your Bank. This is a local transportation company which has been trading for over 20 years. The directors are Laurie Rhodes and his brother Van Rhodes, both of whom are in their late 40's.
Just under two years ago, they met with their existing Bank who sanctioned an increase in their overdraft facility to £300,000. The Bank already held a Standard Security over the business premises and a Bond & Floating Charge from the company. At the time the Directors also provided a Joint & Several Personal Guarantee for £60,000. The Bank agreed that if the business generated the anticipated level of profitability, they would look to release the Directors from their guarantee obligation once 12 months had elapsed.
Last week the Directors arranged a meeting with their Bank and were introduced to their recently appointed new relationship manager. At this meeting they requested a further increase in their overdraft facility to £460,000 for a 6 month period, thereafter reducing to the current level of £300,000. They provided the undernoted up to date accounting information in support of their application.
The Bank reviewed these figures and advised that they were unwilling to increase their support to this level. They expressed the view that the business seemed to be overtrading. Further negotiations followed and the Bank eventually offered to provide a facility of £350,000 subject to a review in 6 months. However, this was conditional upon a commensurate increase in the Directors' guarantee as opposed to the earlier consideration of releasing the guarantors from their liability.
The Directors have been with their existing Bank since they incorporated the company and they are extremely unhappy with this assessment of their position. They are now looking to consider alternative banking arrangements.
As their potential new Banker, you are required to critically evaluate the proposal.
