    Funding that caters to your needs.

    Running a successful restaurant, catering business or guesthouse isn’t all glamorous. Even the most buzzing city center hotspot needs business funding now and then to see it through the quieter trading months when visitors are exploring other shores.

    Next thing you know its summer — business may be booming but a little extra business funding is still needed to stock up on inventory, buy new equipment or hire additional seasonal staff to keep your customers coming back for more.

    There’s always extra working capital needed for advertising and marketing, booking software, industry membership, and refreshing tired old menus. The list is endless.

    To keep delivering the best possible customer service in the highly-competitive hospitality industry, you need access to quick and easy hospitality business financing.

    From restaurants to guesthouses, grow your business with funding from us.

    Applying for hospitality business funding from traditional lenders and banks often involves a lot of red tape, paperwork, and collateral, not to mention the hidden costs and high-interest rates that actually leave you coming out second best.

    We’re not about that. We give you access to the business finance you need quickly, without having to put up any collateral – or provide any unnecessary paperwork. We make access to business finance fast, flexible, and simple through our online application process and use machine learning to do the rest – and you’ll have an answer within 24 hours.

    We want to see your small business succeed, which is why we understand how crucial immediate access to business funding can be for hospitality businesses like yours.

    We move as fast as your business.

    The biggest challenge we face is access to cash. What Lula has enabled me to do is take that worry about cash flow away.
