Bridging the Gap: Rikvin Capital’s £30M Co-Funding Milestone

The hospitality sector is constantly evolving, facing shifts in consumer demand, operational costs, and financial requirements. In this fast-paced environment, securing the right financing at the right time can be the key to unlocking new opportunities, optimizing liquidity, and driving long-term value.

At Rikvin Capital, we recently structured a £30M short-term co-funding deal, backed by multiple prime hospitality assets across the UK. This transaction showcases our expertise in structuring tailored financial solutions that empower asset owners and investors to navigate market challenges and capitalize on opportunities.

The Challenge: Liquidity Gaps in a Dynamic Market

Prime hospitality properties often require strategic capital injections to optimize operations, fund refurbishments, or refinance existing obligations. However, traditional financing routes can be slow, restrictive, and inflexible in meeting time-sensitive needs.

For this particular deal, hospitality asset owners were looking for a solution that would:

  • ✔ Unlock liquidity without disrupting operations
  • ✔ Provide short-term, structured financing with flexibility
  • ✔ Leverage prime real estate as security
  • ✔Attract co-funding partners for an optimal financing structure

With traditional lenders tightening their credit appetite, our role was to move swiftly and structure a deal that balanced speed, security, and scalability.

The Solution: A Tailored Co-Funding Approach

Rikvin Capital structured a bespoke, asset-backed co-funding model, bringing together institutional and private investors to provide the necessary liquidity. The deal included:

  • Short-term structured financing, allowing the asset owners to bridge their funding gap efficiently.
  • Multiple prime hospitality assets as security, ensuring a low-risk structure with strong collateral.
  • Fast execution, delivering capital within a tight timeframe to prevent operational disruptions.

By leveraging our expertise in structured lending and our deep network of investors, we crafted a solution that maximized financial flexibility without compromising long-term investment goals.

The Result: A Win-Win for Asset Owners and Investors

The successful execution of this £30M deal unlocked value for hospitality asset owners, allowing them to optimize their portfolios while ensuring investors gained access to a well-structured, asset-backed opportunity.

This transaction highlights the growing role of co-funding and bridging finance in the hospitality sector, particularly as asset owners look for alternative financing solutions that align with their strategic goals.

FAQ

Can Rikvin Capital fund a £30M+ UK hospitality deal?

Yes. The case here structured a £30 million short-term co-funded loan secured against multiple prime UK hospitality assets. For loan sizes above our standard hold size we partner with institutional co-lenders and family offices, while staying as the primary point of contact for the borrower.

How is a multi-asset hospitality loan structured?

As a single loan secured against several properties combined, with first charge on each. Combining assets typically unlocks more total capital than refinancing each one individually. Loan-to-value is set against the combined value, with terms usually 6 to 24 months.

Can I use the released capital to refurbish or refinance other obligations?

Yes. The £30 million case unlocked liquidity for refurbishment and refinancing of existing obligations across the borrower's hospitality portfolio. We do not restrict the end-use beyond standard Anti-Money-Laundering checks.
