Financial restructuring in hospitality businesses sounds like the sort of thing that the Hiltons, Raddissons and Travelodges of this world concern themselves with. However, financial restructuring is something that anyone and everyone who owns a public house, hotel or B&B should know is an option that they could benefit from.
What is financial restructuring?
Financial restructuring within the hospitality industry can refer to any action taken to change the way a business is owned, structured or run, to eliminate financial risk or improve a financial situation.
There are no minimal financial limits to qualify activity as financial restructuring, nor any requisite business size. So, if you are a B&B, a boutique hotel, a public house or even a global chain of hotels, you could be involved in a financial restructure.
So how can financial restructuring help my hospitality business?
Financial restructuring can help to provide cash flow to cover VAT arrears, a liquidity shortfall or a credit rating downgrade.
Whilst financial restructuring is often used, when under duress, to escape a sticky situation, not all financial restructuring is compulsory. It can also be used to reinvest in a business.
A financial restructure doesn’t have to be limited to providing funds for your existing business: it could be a good way to expand your business empire by buying a new business or new premises.
What sort of activities constitute a financial restructure?
Financial restructuring of your hospitality business could include re-mortgaging to consolidate debt, downsizing your workforce, or even restructuring the ownership or management of a business.
