Client Overview
Our client, an established business looking to diversify into the leisure sector, identified an opportunity to generate additional revenue through holiday and angling accommodation. They acquired a finishing lake and planned to enhance the site with high-quality lodges for overnight stays.
The Challenge
To bring their vision to life, the client required funding for six lodges. As this was a new venture within a different sector, it was essential to structure a finance solution that supported cashflow while enabling swift delivery ahead of a peak booking season.
The Solution
We worked closely with the client to structure a tailored funding package that aligned with both their growth plans and financial position. The agreement included:
- VAT + 10% deposit upfront
- Balance funded over a 5-year term
By partnering with a specialist lender who understood the leisure and holiday park sector, we were able to secure credit approval efficiently and on competitive terms.
In addition, we collaborated with the lodge supplier – a distributor of leading leisure brands such as ABI and Willerby – ensuring a smooth process from order through to delivery and installation.
The Outcome
- Six lodges delivered and commissioned ahead of peak season
- The client successfully launched their new accommodation offering on time
- Cashflow preserved through a structured funding solution
- Immediate revenue generation from strong forward bookings
The Impact
This project enabled the client to confidently diversify into the leisure market, creating a new and sustainable income stream. By leveraging sector-specific funding expertise and a collaborative approach with the supplier, we helped turn a strategic vision into a fully operational reality.
