Why a bed and breakfast seeks financing
Bed and breakfasts face lumpy cash flow as revenue peaks with tourist seasons and dips in the off months. Owners often seek capital to cover payroll, utilities, and maintenance during slower periods or to fund upgrades before the next busy season.
We are a broker, not a lender, so we match that need to a lender that understands the industry instead of forcing one product.
Common uses of capital
Business-purpose funding a bed and breakfast might use for:
- Refresh guest rooms with new linens and furnishings
- Upgrade kitchen equipment for expanded breakfast service
- Repair roofing, hvac, or plumbing between bookings
- Fund marketing campaigns to attract off season guests
- Stock inventory for seasonal events and packages
Products that tend to fit
Depending on the situation, that can be a term loan, a line of credit, equipment financing, an SBA loan or invoice factoring.
Equipment Financing
Equipment financing funds trucks, machinery, kitchen gear and other hard assets, usually with the equipment itself as collateral.
SBA Loans
SBA loans are bank loans partially guaranteed by the U.S. Small Business Administration, often used for larger or longer-term needs.
Business Line of Credit
A business line of credit is a revolving limit a business can draw on, repay and draw again as working capital needs move.
Honest about terms
Rates and terms for a bed and breakfast are set by the lender and depend on revenue, time in business and credit. We do not promise a rate, an amount or approval, and we label any sample figure as an estimate.
Marketing, tech and calls too
