5 C's of Credit Investing

1. Character - credit history of the borrower, reputation etc

2. Capacity - ability to finance debt i.e. net debt/ EBITDA, interest cover etc

3. Capital - factor of shareholders putting up capital. e.g. the size of the downpayment on a house

4. Collateral - assets the creditor can potentially fall back on in an event of default

5. Conditions - e.g. covenants that protect the creditor such as restriction on dividends, maintenance of interest rate cover or net debt to EBITDA ratio
