The refinancing clock starts before the maturity feels urgent. Maturity is a date, but maturity risk is a pattern Every debt instrument has a repayment date. A maturity ladder turns those dates into a visible risk pattern across quarters or years. Concentration creates pressure A single manageable maturity may become risky when it lands near other maturities, seasonal cash needs, capex commitments, or covenant tests.

When time is gone, lenders price urgency.
