Common Questions

Answers to frequently asked questions about hospitality and tourism finance.

Can I finance a business with a lease?

Yes, most hospitality businesses operate from leased premises. We work with lenders who understand lease structures and can finance based on your lease terms and renewal options.

How is goodwill valued for finance?

Hospitality goodwill is typically valued as a multiple of normalised earnings (EBITDA). Lenders will review historical trading, customer base, location, and growth potential.

What deposit do I need?

Typically 20-40% equity contribution is required for business acquisitions. This can include cash, existing business equity, or property security. Each deal is assessed individually.

Can seasonal businesses get finance?

Absolutely. We specialise in seasonal businesses and structure facilities with flexible repayments that align with your peak and off-peak trading patterns.

Do I need hospitality experience?

Lenders prefer some industry experience, but it's not always essential. Management experience, business acumen, and strong due diligence can offset limited hospitality background.

How long does approval take?

Typically 2-4 weeks from complete application to approval, depending on deal complexity. We can expedite urgent deals where required.
