Hospitality & leisure finance

Hospitality lives and dies by footfall and seasonality. Whether you're fitting out a new site, replacing kitchen equipment, or smoothing a quiet winter, we match restaurants, pubs, cafés and hotels to funding that flexes with your trade, including options repaid as a share of card takings.

Is it right for your business?

Common funding needs

  • Refurbishment and new-site fit-out

  • Kitchen, EPOS and front-of-house equipment

  • Bridging seasonal dips in trade

  • Stocking up ahead of a busy period

Worth knowing

If a large share of your revenue comes through the card machine, a merchant cash advance flexes repayments with daily takings, so quieter days cost less.

Fit-out and equipment can often be financed against the asset, keeping cash free for stock and staff.

How does a merchant cash advance suit a hospitality business?

You repay a fixed percentage of your daily card takings rather than a set monthly amount, so repayments track your trade. It suits venues with strong card sales and seasonal swings.

Can I fund a full refurbishment?

Yes, fit-outs are commonly funded with a term loan, with kitchen and equipment costs sometimes split onto asset finance. We'll help structure the right mix.
