Episode notes

A credit memo is not a sales document. It is also not a confession. It is an argument, and like any good argument it needs structure, evidence, and a tolerance for the parts that are inconvenient. In this final episode we walk through the anatomy of a memo that holds up under committee questioning, using FRAME to keep your reasoning honest. We close the loop with Belmont Commercial Construction, a $1.1M EBITDA general contractor at 4x leverage, and write the deal up two ways: the polished version that the committee will see through, and the candid version that gets the loan approved. After six weeks of building the muscle, this is where it all lands on the page.
