THE MONEY TIMING PROBLEM

Where the cash gets tight in hospitality.

A healthy business can still run short. Money goes out before it comes in. Which of these hits you decides which type of funding you need.

Occupancy and rates change across seasons

Renovations create downtime before improved revenue

Labor and guest-service costs remain sensitive

Property obligations continue through slower periods

The right funding fixes this without leaving you with a payment you can't make, or a loan that outlasts the problem.

WHY TALK TO US

Funding should fix the problem,
not just move it to next quarter.

Tell your advisor what's actually going wrong. They'll work out which type of funding solves it, then bring you offers from the lenders that fit.

Ask for what you actually need

Work out the money you need now, and the cushion you want on top. Borrowing a round number you didn't check is how people get in trouble.

Match the payment to when money comes in

Daily, weekly, or monthly? Look at your slowest month, not your average one. Can you make the payment then?

Compare what you pay back in total

APRs, factor rates (the number your funded amount is multiplied by to get your total payback), flat fees, closing costs - we turn all of it into one number: total dollars.

Keep enough cash to run on

Don't spend the cushion. You still have to cover payroll and bills while the new money starts earning.

WHAT THE MONEY IS FOR

What hospitality businesses usually borrow for.

Some of these pay off in weeks, some in years. The loan should last about as long as the payoff takes.

ROUGH PRICING

What this type of funding usually costs.

These are wide example ranges to learn from - not offers, and not promises. What you're actually quoted depends on your credit, your sales, your collateral, the length of the loan, your paperwork, and the lender.

Funding typeRough costHow it's structuredHow much
Commercial Real EstateRisk-based / customProvider-specific structure$500K–$30M
Equipment FinancingApprox. 5%–30% APRFixed loan or lease secured by equipment$25K–$10M
Working CapitalApprox. 1.10–1.45 factorFixed-cost advance; daily or weekly remittance$25K–$2M

APR, factor rate, discount fee and total repayment are four different things - you cannot compare them side by side as if they were the same number. Compare these instead: total dollars paid back, how often you pay, how long it runs, the fees, what you put up as collateral, what you personally guarantee, and what happens if you pay it off early.

NOT SURE WHICH TO PICK?

COMMON QUESTIONS

Questions about funding a hospitality business.

Which product is usually best for this industry?

The starting shortlist is Commercial Real Estate, Equipment Financing, Working Capital. The right choice depends on the use of funds, cash-flow timing, available collateral, credit, and documentation.

How much can a hospitality business qualify for?

Qualification is usually tied to revenue, cash flow, time in business, existing debt, credit profile, and the use of funds. Asset-backed projects may also be limited by collateral value.

How quickly can funding close?

Some working-capital products can close after bank statements and basic documentation are verified. Bank, SBA, acquisition, and real-estate transactions generally require more underwriting and take longer.

Can financing be used for guest-room renovation?

Potentially. The provider will evaluate the use of funds, repayment capacity, project economics, documentation, and whether the requested structure is appropriate for the asset or operating need.

Can equipment or productive assets be financed separately?

Often, yes. Asset-specific financing may preserve cash and align repayment with the useful life and expected return of the equipment or vehicle.

What rates should a business expect?

Pricing varies widely by structure. Bank and SBA products typically price from a benchmark plus a spread; equipment financing uses APR or lease pricing; factoring uses a periodic discount fee; faster working-capital products may use a fixed fee or factor rate.

What documents are usually required?

Expect recent bank statements, ownership information, existing debt details, and-depending on size-tax returns, P&L, balance sheet, receivables, inventory, contracts, or equipment invoices.

Does exploring options affect business credit?

The intake and provider disclosures should state when a soft or hard credit inquiry may occur. Product and provider requirements vary.
