There are a number of advantages to be had from working with finance providers with extensive experience of the hotel industry.
They understand the specific challenges associated with management of a hospitality venue, such as variations in revenue due to seasonality of trade.
A major benefit of having the right finance in place is that it provides the basis for growth. The funds can give you the budget to grow your business into more lucrative markets, through improving the quality of service and presentation of your venue. The UK hospitality industry offers huge opportunities, even with the recent disruption of the global pandemic.
While many lenders prefer to work with businesses that have a strong credit rating, it is often possible to secure a loan without having it. This usually comes down to having a strong business plan, a current positive credit situation and approaching the right providers.
Am I eligible for hotel finance?
Every provider of business finance has their own criteria for deciding who they will lend to, how much and on what terms.
The basics they usually look for include:
Minimum turnover of £100k.
At least 2 years of trading history.
No County Court Judgements.
Positive credit history.
Business is registered in the UK.
It helps if one of the directors is a homeowner, and that the business boasts a positive balance sheet.
However, if you don't meet some of these criteria there are other funding options available. We help business owners navigate through issues such as a poor credit record or needing finance in a hurry because of unexpected changes in circumstances.
