## Frequently asked questions

### Can Rikvin Capital fund my UK hotel acquisition?

Yes. UK hospitality is an active asset class for us. We fund full-service hotels, boutique properties, regional portfolios and assets going through repositioning. Recent deals include the £18.8 million West London hotel shown here, a £9.5 million regional UK portfolio and a £30 million co-funded loan.

### What is the maximum loan size for a UK hotel deal?

Single-asset facilities go up to roughly £30 million on our balance sheet, and higher on a syndicated or co-funded basis. The West London deal was £18.8 million on its own; the £30 million milestone was structured with an institutional partner. Tell us your deal size and we will match the right structure.

### My hotel has weak trading numbers right now. Can I still get a loan?

Yes. We focus on the property value and your repositioning plan rather than past trading performance, which can be volatile in hospitality. A short-term loan gives you 12 to 24 months to deliver the plan and refinance into a mainstream lender once trading is stable.

### How long does a hotel bridge loan take to approve and draw down?

Typically 3 to 5 weeks from first enquiry to drawdown. This includes a top-tier valuation, legal Report on Title and a market and operator review. For pre-approved repeat clients we have moved faster. Mainstream hotel banks usually take 3 to 6 months for the same work.
