CMA Report Preparation for Bank Finance & Business Growth
Financial projections , CMA data and structured reports to support your bank finance requirements
Businesses seeking working capital, term loans, project finance, loan renewal or enhancement often
need financial information that clearly demonstrates their current position and future repayment capacity.
Our CMA report preparation services help businesses prepare structured CMA data, provisional
financials and realistic financial projections for bank finance requirements.
From working capital assessment and MPBF calculation to projected P&L, balance sheet, cash flow and
DSCR analysis,
we help organize your financial information into a clear and decision-useful CMA report.
What Is CMA Report Preparation?
A CMA report, or Credit Monitoring Arrangement report, presents a structured view of a business’s financial performance, current financial position and projected requirements. Banks may use CMA data when assessing working capital limits, loan requirements, renewals, enhancements and other forms of business finance.
Professional CMA report preparation involves more than filling figures into a standard format. The financial information needs to be reviewed logically so that historical performance, provisional financial statements, projected financials, working capital requirements and repayment capacity are presented consistently.
We assist businesses in preparing CMA data based on the information available from their books, financial statements and proposed business plans. The objective is to provide a coherent financial picture that can support discussions with banks and other financial institutions.
Our Financial Consulting Services
We provide structured financial consulting support to help businesses prepare relevant financial information, projections and reports for their financing and business requirements.
CMA Data Preparation
We prepare CMA data by organizing the relevant financial information into the required structure. This includes reviewing available financial statements, existing borrowings, working capital requirements and proposed financial assumptions.
The CMA data is prepared with attention to consistency between historical figures, provisional financials and future projections.
Provisional Financial Statements
Where final financial statements are not yet available, provisional financial information may be required for the assessment.
We assist in presenting relevant provisional financial statements and using them as a basis for preparing the projected financial position. This provides a clearer connection between actual performance and future estimates.
Financial Projections
Financial projections help demonstrate how the business is expected to perform during the proposed period.
Depending on the requirement, the CMA report may include:
- Projected P&L
- Projected Balance Sheet
- Projected Cash Flow Statement
- Projected working capital position
- Projected borrowing and repayment position
The projections are prepared based on the information and business assumptions provided, rather than using arbitrary figures.
Working Capital Assessment & MPBF Calculation
For businesses seeking working capital finance, understanding the relationship between current assets, current liabilities and the proposed bank finance is important.
Our CMA report services can cover working capital assessment and Maximum Permissible Bank Finance (MPBF) calculation, where applicable to the financing requirement.
This can be particularly relevant for businesses applying for or reviewing cash credit limits, overdraft facilities and other working capital arrangements.
DSCR & Financial Ratio Analysis
For businesses with term loans or proposed debt, repayment capacity is an important part of financial assessment.
We incorporate relevant DSCR calculation and financial ratio analysis into the CMA report where required. Ratios can help present aspects such as profitability, leverage, liquidity and debt-servicing capacity in a structured manner.
CMA Reports for Renewal, Enhancement & Project Finance
CMA requirements can arise at different stages of a business's financing cycle.
We support CMA report preparation for requirements such as:
- New business loans
- Working capital finance
- CC limit
- OD limit
- Loan renewal
- Loan enhancement
- Term loans
- Project finance
- Expansion-related funding
- Other bank finance requirements
The scope of the report is aligned with the specific financing requirement and information available for the business.
