Program Overview: What is Corporate Debt and Capital Structure Corporate Training?
Corporate Debt & Capital Structure Corporate Training is Edstellar's instructor-led program for finance teams who structure, analyze, and manage corporate debt. Participants cover debt market foundations, capital structure theory and trade-offs, credit analysis and financial ratios, debt instrument structuring, leveraged finance and refinancing, and regulatory norms and risk controls. Every module pairs concepts with a guided lab on real-world use cases.
Training is model-and-deal driven. Teams work credit ratios, structure debt instruments, and model leveraged finance and refinancing scenarios in guided labs with instructor feedback. Regulatory and risk-control exercises ground every structure in the rules. The program closes with a capstone where the team models, structures, and defends a complete corporate financing plan.
Misjudged leverage and poorly structured debt turn manageable obligations into refinancing crises, and teams that cannot read capital structure trade-offs pay for it in covenants and cost. This program teaches the theory and the practice together, markets, ratios, structuring, and refinancing discipline, so financing decisions rest on analysis instead of habit.
The capstone financing plan is the proof of judgment: your team models a company's capital structure, structures its debt instruments, runs the refinancing scenarios, and defends the plan under instructor challenge the way they would defend it to a chief financial officer. It leaves the room as a worked example the finance team references the next time real debt is on the table. Capital structure stops being a theory chapter and becomes a decision your team has already made once, carefully.
Seven modules and 29 hours: debt market foundations, capital structure theory, credit ratios, instrument structuring, leveraged finance, regulatory norms, and a capstone financing plan. Every module pairs concepts with a guided lab, so each technique is practiced on real-world use cases. It closes with a capstone plan the team models, structures, and defends.
Delivery is hybrid across virtual and onsite sessions, scheduled around your calendar. Cohorts train as one group or split into batches, with session materials and lab workbooks included for every participant.

Build Corporate Financing Plans With Transparent Debt Capacity and Risk Analysis
Edstellar connects debt-market foundations with capital-structure choices, borrower analysis, and instrument design. Participants calculate credit measures, develop model terms, and examine refinancing scenarios in a sandbox. Their final financing plan is reviewed for transparent assumptions, coherent maturity management, and a defensible balance between financing needs and credit constraints.
- Step 01
Consult
We review financial-statement familiarity and debt responsibilities to identify gaps in leverage analysis, instrument pricing, covenant design, and refinancing planning.
- Step 02
Plan
We establish debt markets and capital-structure theory before credit ratios, term sheets, leveraged finance, and risk controls, then integrate the financing plan.
- Step 03
Align
We align debt-structuring instruction with treasury, lending, DCM, and risk roles, adapting analytical support to the cohort's markets and financial experience.
- Step 04
Customize
We tailor sample borrowers, credit curves, and maturity schedules to relevant financing contexts while keeping pricing and investment choices hypothetical throughout exercises.
- Step 05
Execute
Participants build ratio packs, price sample debt, and model refinancing, receiving feedback on capacity assumptions, covenant rationale, maturity risks, and approval evidence.
- Step 06
Evaluate
We assess the financing plan for consistent credit calculations, justified structure and covenants, transparent refinancing assumptions, and documented treatment of material risks.
