We undertake buy side hotel due diligence for investors, purchasers, family offices and financial institutions considering the acquisition or financing of an existing hotel, resort or hospitality business. The review examines commercial positioning, historical performance, revenue quality, operating costs, management capability, capital expenditure requirements, financial forecasts and material investment risks.

Hotel Business Plans & Financial Models

We develop integrated business plans and financial models for new and existing hotels, acquisitions, renovations and repositioning projects. The work translates the hotel concept and operating strategy into revenue, staffing, expenditure, cash flow, financing and investment return projections.
