Why Lendaline are the perfect finance partner for leisure and hospitality businesses

We know hospitality runs on thin margins and seasonal swings, and we structure finance accordingly.

Repayments that flex with your trade

A merchant cash advance repays as a percentage of card takings, naturally lower in quiet months and faster when trade picks up. No fixed payment, no pressure during a slow spell.

Finance for fit-outs and refurbishments

We regularly fund kitchen installations, bar refits, dining room refurbishments, and outdoor structures, whether you're updating an existing site or fitting out from scratch.

Fast decisions, no unnecessary delays

Hospitality doesn't wait for slow underwriting. We match applications to lenders most likely to approve quickly, and move at the pace your business requires.

We understand the importance of funding leisure and hospitality businesses

From independent cafes to hotel groups, we work with hospitality and leisure operators across the UK to fund the equipment, refurbishments, and working capital that keep the doors open and the customers coming back. Seasonal businesses, new sites, and operators recovering from a difficult period are all welcome.

We’re the experts in funding leisure and hospitality businesses

From full kitchen fit-outs to seasonal working capital, here’s a snapshot of what we’ve helped hospitality and leisure businesses finance:

  • Kitchen Equipment
  • Fixtures and Fittings
  • Bar Equipment
  • AV Systems
  • Gym Equipment
  • Swimming Pools
  • Outdoor Structures
  • Booking Systems
  • Refurbishments
  • Specialist Equipment

Asset finance covers equipment through hire purchase or lease. For refurbishments, an unsecured business loan gives a lump sum to work with. A merchant cash advance is well-suited to hospitality because repayments track card takings, naturally lower in quiet periods. Revolving credit gives you a flexible buffer for seasonal gaps. We’ll recommend the right product or combination for your specific situation.

Beyond the list above, we regularly finance premises acquisitions and commercial mortgages for operators looking to own rather than rent, point-of-sale systems, CCTV and security equipment, food and beverage stock, and staff costs in pre-season periods. For seasonal businesses, a revolving credit facility gives access to funds in quiet months without paying interest when you’re not drawing on it.

Equipment finance starts from £5,000 for smaller purchases and scales for full commercial kitchen or gym installations. Unsecured cash flow loans are available from £10,000. Merchant cash advances are based on monthly card turnover, typically ranging from one to two times that figure. Rates depend on the product and your business profile. Apply and we’ll come back with actual options.

Yes. Seasonal trading is well understood by the lenders we work with, and a business with strong peak-season revenue won’t be penalised for quieter months. For businesses that have had a difficult period, secured finance against owned assets or property can open routes that unsecured lending won’t. A merchant cash advance is also a sensible option for recovering businesses because repayments adjust naturally to trading conditions.
