What this business does
Primary activity: Hotels and similar accommodation
Sector: Accommodation & food service
Investor take
PursueStrong opportunity: leverage-led grower with strong profile and acceptable with review structure.
Opportunity 72/100 (strong), bankability 57/100. High owner-dependency — earn-out structure likely required for clean transition. Biggest value-creation lever: Consolidate lender relationships. 3 distinct lenders creates friction — refinance into single-lender structure for cleaner diligence. Most likely exit: share sale to pe / searcher (77/100).
🏦

clean up first
Refinance viable after a tidy-up — address the highlighted items first.
- · Oldest live charge is 18.4 years old — likely at or near maturity.
- · 3 lenders named — inter-creditor friction likely.
- · Legal-friction score 40/100 — workable, but lender will want more DD.
- · Profitable and stable/growing — lender coverage supportable.
