Independent Credit Resources, LLC
Senior-level credit analysis and underwriting support for community banks — on demand, without the overhead, timeline, or salary line of a full-time hire.
Talk to Bill →No credit team, or a lean one. A loan pipeline that keeps growing. Not enough hours in the week to underwrite all of it without cutting corners or burning people out.
Hiring is one answer — it just takes months to fill the seat and a salary line you may not have budget for. Pushing deals through faster is the other — and that's usually how underwriting quality slips and examiners start asking harder questions at the next exam. Neither one is a real fix.
ICR is the third option: experienced credit analysis and underwriting support you bring in when you need it, from someone who's done the work from the bank's side of the table.
Five ways ICR picks up the work your team has the least time for — and the work examiners scrutinize most.
Full underwriting support for new originations, built to the standard your credit committee and your examiners both expect.
Business and personal tax returns, financial statements, and personal financial statements, spread accurately and consistently.
A complete picture of a borrower's repayment capacity across every entity and every income source.
Keeping existing credit files current, so renewals and covenant checks aren't a scramble.
Extra hands when your pipeline outpaces your staff — brought on for as long as you need them, no longer.
“This isn't outsourcing your credit culture. It's a second set of experienced hands that thinks like a banker — because that's the work I've done from the bank's side of the table.”
If your credit team is stretched thin and you want to talk through what this could look like for your bank, send a message. Always glad to compare notes with other lenders, even if it doesn't go further than that.
