Cash, Cars, and Coconut Oil.

Capital, Capacity and Character.

Nice try….While capital (valuable assets) andcapacity (your ability to repay debt)are important factors in determiningwhether someone extends you a lineof credit, a cake is not one of thethree C’s. Please try again…

Absolutely Correct! Great Job!! The three C’s of Credit are: 1) Capital – A lender will want to know if you have

assets such as real estate, personal property, investments or savings to repay the debt; 2) Capacity - This refers to your ability to repay the debt. The lender will look to see if you have been working regularly in an occupation that is likely to provide enough income to support your credit; and 3) Character - From your credit history, a lender may decide whether you possess the honesty and reliability to repay a debt.
