The usual pain.
Tourism is 'lifestyle' to banks
Mainstream credit teams discount holiday park revenue. Tourism-specialists model occupancy, ADR and shoulder-season correctly.
New-build park = no accounts
First-year glamping operators often can't get past credit. Sector-specialists will lend on the strength of planning permission, build plan and projections.
Income is wildly seasonal
Full season May–September, quiet October–April. We have lenders who'll structure seasonal or annual payments to match.

ExploreQuestions holiday parks & glamping customers ask.
Can a brand-new glamping site get finance?
Yes — sector-specialists will lend on the strength of planning permission, build plan, director experience and trading projections. Higher deposit (15–25%) typical at start-up stage.
What's the right structure for lodges?
Hire purchase, typically 84 months. Lodges hold value well so residuals price competitively. Some lenders offer lodge-specific lease products with end-of-term return.
Are seasonal payments available?
Yes — most tourism-specialist lenders will structure annual payments after season-end, or seasonal step-downs for shoulder months.
Can finance cover hot tubs, decking and EV chargers per unit?
Yes — site infrastructure, hot tubs, decking and EV charge-points can be bundled with the pod/lodge into one HP agreement.
