Facility Covenant Monitoring

Monitor

Monitor turns a banking team's covenant know-how into a product their clients log into. It structures every facility, runs the tests the moment financials arrive, and flags trouble while there is still time to act - the firm's judgement, working around the clock as software.

The problem

Covenant risk lives in spreadsheets

Banking teams track hundreds of facilities in spreadsheets and inboxes, with key dates scattered across personal calendars. Every quarter the same covenant tests are rebuilt by hand from whatever financials the borrower sends, and every version lives in a different file.

It fails everyone. Partners find out about a breach after it has happened. Clients only hear from their lawyers when something is already wrong. And because the work is manual, the only way to monitor more facilities is to spend more hours - the one thing a busy team does not have.

The solution

One platform both sides trust

Monitor gives the whole book one home. Covenants are structured once, when the facility is set up. Borrowers upload financials into the same platform their lawyers use, and the tests run on arrival - net leverage, interest cover, capex - each one an encoding of how the team actually reads a facility agreement.

Lawyers see results in context and act from the same screen: raise a clarification, start a waiver workflow, export a lender pack with a full audit trail behind it. The client sees exactly what their lawyer sees, which turns quarterly silence into a running conversation.

The whole book on one screen - facilities, test results and the alerts that matter.

Why it pays

Knowledge the firm already had, earning like a product.

Covenant monitoring is exactly the kind of work a firm should productise: recurring, rules-based at the edges, and priced today in a way that punishes efficiency. As a product, it inverts. The same expertise serves ten clients or a hundred, revenue arrives as a subscription rather than a timesheet, and the platform becomes a reason to consolidate banking work with the firm that owns it.

None of it requires the firm to become a software company. It requires owning the product that encodes what the firm already knows.
