Supporting Growth into the Leisure Sector

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.
