Methodology & Citations
- Covenant definitions follow standard UK corporate lending conventions. DSCR = Net Operating Income ÷ Debt Service (principal + interest). Source: Loan Market Association (LMA) Standard Terms 2024.
- RAG thresholds: Green = headroom ≥15%; Amber = headroom 5–14%; Red = headroom <5% or breach. Amber is the lender's early warning trigger — proactive engagement is expected.
- Interest Cover Ratio = EBIT ÷ Net Interest Expense. Minimum 2.0× is typical for senior secured SME lending; lower-rated facilities may require 1.5×.
- When a covenant is breached, most facilities require borrower notification within 5 business days and a written remediation plan within 30 days. Failure to notify is an Event of Default under most LMA-based facility agreements.
