by loan agreements. “Banks look at covenant violations closely, so borrowers need to ensure that any squeeze in the relevant ratios—such as income to debt—will not cre- ate problems,” said John McQuaig, managing partner of McQuaig & Welk, the Wenatchee, Wash., based manage- ment consulting firm ( mcqw.com ). “Sometimes there is no quick fix for resolving them.” It’s smart to be proactive. “If you know you’re going to have a covenant violation, you’re better off informing the bank and explaining to them how you’re going to work your way out of it,” said McQuaig. “On occasion, they might change a ratio on a line of credit if you’ve been in good performance and they can see this is not going to remain a problem.” McQuaig gives an example: Suppose a company expe- riences an increase in interest rates because of inflation. As a result, they break even in a year in which they would normally make a profit. The company could inform the bank that their inflation-savvy customers are now willing to accept price increases. As a result, the business can increase its pricing over the coming year to resolve the covenant violation. Phillip M.
