Before you start looking for a suitable motel or accommodation business, it is recommended you determine how much you can comfortably afford to borrow. Let’s consider a Freehold Going Concern motel for a purchase price of $1,000,000.
Based on typical lending LVRs the maximum borrowing capacity would be $700,000 (or 70% of the purchase price). You will require $300,000 cash to inject into the purchase. An allowance will also need to be made for the costs of the purchase and working capital until the business is up and running. We’ll use an approximate allowance of an additional $70,000 – $80,000.
Based on the above, cash of approximately $380,000 will be required for the purchase.
The next step is to determine the required cashflow of the motel to enable comfortable repayments.
It’s important to note if you don’t have sufficient cash funds there may be other options available to raise the equity. Your Green Team finance broker will be able to walk you through your options in detail.
Knowing which lender will look most favourably at your business case is critical when it comes to getting your business off the ground.
Your Green Team broker is in the best position to provide you with a thorough overview of your borrowing capacity for motel purchase based on the lending policy of a range of banks and secure lenders. You may be surprised by the sheer range of dollar values from bank to bank.
Additional documentation may be required and your Green Team Finance Broker will guide you through exactly what you need and professionally package your application for presentation to the bank or lender.
