The Challenge . . .
Even though we value borrower supports at all levels,
they are difficult to provide when we don’t have the
expertise to deliver it or resources to staff it.
• What services should you provide?
• Who are the potential partners?
• How do we establish and formalize partnerships?
• When is it a good idea to co-brand the service?

Determining Services
Key Factors:
– Are there portfolio issues that could be
impacted by training and/or technical
assistance?
• Disproportionate slow pays

and/or technical assistance by applicants
or borrowers?
