AI Credit Memo Generation for Direct Lenders
AI credit memo generation for direct lending funds automates the heaviest document work in origination: turning financial analysis, borrower DD, and covenant negotiations into a structured credit memo ready for IC review. WorkWise Solutions builds custom credit memo systems for private credit managers that pull from your analysis workflow and produce draft memos in your firm's format. Most engagements start with the Investment Committee Memo Automation solution.
The Problem
Every new direct loan needs a credit memo before your IC will approve it. The structure is always the same: borrower background, financial summary, EBITDA analysis, leverage and coverage metrics, covenant package, risk factors, recommendation. Your team writes the same sections every time, in roughly the same format, pulling from analysis they have already done.
It takes days of analyst time per transaction. For a fund closing 20-30 loans a year, that cost scales directly with deal volume.
How WorkWise Solves This
WorkWise builds AI credit memo systems that take your financial models, DD findings, and covenant term sheets and produce a structured draft in your format. The system writes the standard sections: financial data formatted for the memo, covenant metrics calculated against your policy thresholds, risk factors organized by category.
Your analyst reviews, adjusts, and approves instead of writing from scratch. Built through our Custom Build service, and connected directly to the financial spreading work that feeds the memo. See the full picture at AI covenant monitoring for private credit.
Key Benefits
Your Format, Not a Generic Template
Built to your firm's structure and style. Section order, financial presentation, covenant table format -- all set up to match how your IC expects to see the analysis.
Financial Data Pulled Directly from Your Models
Leverage metrics, DSCR, interest coverage, and covenant headroom pulled from your financial model and inserted into the memo automatically. No copying numbers between spreadsheet and document.
Consistent Risk Factor Coverage
Risk factors checked against a defined list: market risk, operational risk, management risk, structural risk, and regulatory exposure. Same thorough coverage in every credit memo your team produces.
