How our free eligibility check for hotel finance works

1. Complete a short enquiry — basic business and finance requirements. It takes under 2 minutes. Start your Free Eligibility Check.
2. We match you — we compare your needs against our panel of lenders and brokers experienced in hotels (refurbishment, working capital, asset finance, bridging and more).
3. Indicative response — matched partners contact you with eligibility feedback and indicative quotes; many respond within hours. This is not a firm offer but a helpful indication of available options.
4. Compare and decide — review proposals and choose the best route. You only proceed if you want to.

What the check does not do: it does not automatically submit you for a hard credit search or bind you to a lender. Any formal checks or fees will be disclosed by the lender or broker before they proceed.

Types of hotel finance we check eligibility for

We can match hotel businesses with partners who provide or arrange a range of finance types. Common requests include:

• Refurbishment & fit‑out loans — funding for room upgrades, new interiors and guest facilities; typically from specialist refurbishment lenders or asset lenders.
• Working capital — short‑term cashflow support for seasonal trading peaks or payroll; arranged via working capital or overdraft providers.
• Asset & equipment finance — finance for kitchen equipment, laundry, HVAC, furniture; often asset‑backed.
• Bridging loans — short‑term finance to secure purchases or complete renovations quickly while longer‑term funding is arranged.
• Refinance & debt consolidation — reorganise existing borrowing to improve monthly cashflow.
• Development & expansion funding — acquisition, conversion or expansion finance for hotel groups or new sites.

Who is likely to qualify? Key eligibility factors

While each lender has its own underwriting rules, these are typical factors lenders and brokers consider when assessing hotels:

• Business structure: limited companies, LLPs and established hospitality groups are the most straightforward to place. (Note: we do not arrange sole trader profession loans.)
• Time trading: lenders prefer at least 12 months trading history for standard commercial loans; specialist options exist for shorter trading histories.
• Turnover & profitability: demonstrated revenue and margin profile — seasonal patterns are assessed in context.
• Security & deposit: some lenders require property or asset security; others offer unsecured options at higher cost.
• Director credit history: previous defaults or CCJs can affect terms — but there are specialist lenders for more complex profiles.
• Loan size: we typically place loans from around £10,000 upwards.

What we ask for in the quick eligibility check — form & document checklist

Initial form (short): business name, company registration number (if any), time trading, estimated annual turnover, funding amount required, purpose of funding, contact name, phone & email.

Documents lenders may request later: up‑to‑date management accounts, recent business bank statements, VAT returns, property details or valuations, and a brief business plan for development projects.

Get a Free Eligibility Check — we’ll tell you what documents are needed next.

Typical timescales & fees

Initial eligibility feedback: often within a few hours during business hours. Indicative quotes: typically within 24–72 hours depending on lender complexity. Full applications and completion times vary by product — bridging is usually fastest; development and property finance can take longer.

UK Business Loans’ introduction service is free. Some brokers or lenders may charge arrangement fees or valuation costs later — you will be informed of any fees before you commit.

Important: your initial enquiry does not trigger a hard credit check. Any formal credit checks will only happen with your explicit consent.

Real examples — how hotel owners used our quick check

Refurbishment (anonymised)
A 25‑room coastal hotel sought £150,000 to modernise rooms and public areas. After a quick eligibility check they were connected to a refurbishment specialist and an asset lender. Indicative quotes arrived the same day; funding completed in six weeks after documents were submitted.

Seasonal working capital (anonymised)
A small city centre hotel group needed short‑term cashflow support for a busy festival season. We matched them with an invoice/working capital broker who arranged a tailored facility that smoothed payroll and supplier payments; the group avoided late supplier charges and retained staff for peak trading.
