Bank credit analysts have traditionally referred to the five Cs of credit analysis: capacity, character, capital, collateral, and conditions.

Capacity

Capacity refers to the borrower's legal and financial capacity to borrow. The first consideration is to verify Vonage is capable of borrowing. By comparing the current assets and current liabilities for the current ratio a bank can measure the ability for Vonage to repay a loan. After analyzing Vonage's financial statements from 2014 to 2016 fluctuatedbut remained under 1.0. Lower than 1.0 means Vonage could have problems in meeting loan obligations. The difference between 2014 and 2015 could indicate that there could have been a hold on too much of the inventories that could not be sold and too much cash on hand which may have been hard to utilize.
