When individuals or businesses apply for credit—whether it’s a personal loan, a mortgage, or business financing—lenders don’t make decisions based on guesswork. Instead, they use a structured framework known as the 5 Cs of Credit.

Controlling Credit

Controlling Credit generally refers to the strategic processes used to manage and mitigate financial risk associated with extending credit, either in a business-to-business context (credit control/management) or for an individual (personal credit control).

Lending and credit are fundamental concepts in finance, describing the process of one party providing money or assets to another, with the expectation of repayment.
