What are typical eligibility criteria lenders look for in hotel finance applications?
Lenders assess hotel finance on track record, trading metrics (occupancy, ADR, RevPAR), DSCR, security, management and realistic cashflow plans.

Can I get funding if my business has an adverse credit history?
Adverse credit doesn't bar funding - lenders focus on affordability, assets, invoices or card takings; expect tighter terms, more documentation.
Can I still get finance if my hotel has uneven occupancy or a seasonal trading pattern?
UK hotels with seasonal or uneven occupancy can secure finance if predictable — clear forecasts, forward bookings and flexible products matter.
Do you support property development or hotel construction finance?
We don't arrange property development, construction or bridging finance. We help hotels find non-property funding - FF&E, fit-out, equipment, cashflow.
Can you help with buying a hotel property or arranging a commercial mortgage?
We don't arrange hotel mortgages but can signpost FCA-authorised brokers and help with fit-out, equipment and working-capital finance.
Do you support multi-site hotel groups as well as boutique hotels and guesthouses?
We match UK hotel groups, boutique hotels and guesthouses to lenders and brokers for cashflow, refurb, equipment, sustainability and refinance.
How long does it usually take from Eligibility check to funds being released?
UK business funding typically takes 1–7 working days from eligibility check to funds; same-day possible for simple unsecured or card-based facilities.
How reliable is a Decision in Principle, and what happens during underwriting?
A Decision in Principle signals likely eligibility but isn't binding—final approval follows underwriting, which verifies finances, credit, and security.
How does your AI matching choose which lenders or brokers to introduce?
We pre-filter lenders/brokers by eligibility, then rank matches by product fit, speed, service and cost to introduce the most relevant options.
