The problem

Where C&I underwriting loses time

The work that eats analyst time today.
01

Every borrower reports differently

Audited, reviewed, compiled, and tax-basis statements each arrive with their own chart of accounts. Mapping them to your spread template is most of the analyst's day.

02

Add-backs are argued, not documented

Owner compensation, one-time costs, and non-cash items get adjusted in a spreadsheet. A quarter later, nobody can show where an add-back came from.

03

Lines need fresh numbers every year

Renewals and annual reviews mean re-spreading the year's statements and testing covenants, on top of the new deals in the pipeline.

04

The memo is retyped from the spread

The analysis lives in a spreadsheet and the memo lives in Word. Analysts copy numbers across by hand, and the two drift apart.

The analysis

The numbers on the credit memo

Computed to your credit policy's definitions, each one traced to the document line it came from.

EBITDA

Learn more

DSCR

Cash flow available for debt service divided by scheduled principal and interest, to your definition.

Learn more

Fixed charge coverage

Cash flow after unfinanced capital spending, taxes, and distributions, divided by debt service and other fixed charges.

Leverage

Senior and total funded debt divided by EBITDA, measured at closing and at every covenant test date.

Frequently asked questions

Still deciding? Talk to our team.

Does vishwa.ai handle audited, reviewed, and compiled financial statements?

Yes. Audited, reviewed, compiled, and tax-basis statements, interims, and management accounts are all mapped to your chart of accounts and spread on your template, whether they arrive as PDFs, spreadsheets, or scans.

How does vishwa.ai handle EBITDA add-backs?

Every add-back is itemized and linked to the statement or return line it came from. Which adjustments count is set by your credit policy, so the same rules apply on every borrower, and a reviewer can see each one.

Can vishwa.ai support annual reviews and line of credit renewals?

Yes. New statements are spread on the same template, compared with the prior year, and tested against the loan covenants. Drift in leverage, coverage, or working capital is flagged before the renewal comes up.

Does vishwa.ai compute fixed charge coverage and leverage?

Yes. Fixed charge coverage, DSCR, and senior and total leverage are computed to your credit policy's definitions, at closing and at each covenant test date, with the inputs to each ratio visible.

Is AI underwriting auditable and explainable?

Yes. Every figure links to the source document and the calculation behind it, so when an examiner, an auditor, or an LP asks how you got a number, you can show them in one click. Vishwa AI applies the same logic to every deal and keeps a complete audit trail, which is usually the part manual spreading cannot reproduce six months later.

How accurate is the extraction, and is there human review?

AI extracts, our experts verify, and your analysts review the exceptions. In practice that turns a multi-day spreading exercise into a quick validation, with people focused on the cases that need judgment rather than re-keying a T-12 into Excel.

Spread a C&I borrower on a call
