The primary purpose of the USDA Hotel and Hospitality loan through the Rural Development Program is to create and maintain employment and improve the economic climate in rural communities. In the midst of the economic crisis caused by the COVID-19 pandemic, North Avenue Capital (NAC) and our team of talented Loan Specialists are aware of and understand the struggle many hotel and hospitality businesses are currently facing.
In 2017, the U.S. travel and tourism industry generated more than $1.6 trillion in economic output, which supported 7.8 million jobs in America. This includes jobs in the following industries: accommodations, travel, and food. The hospitality business is a huge part of the U.S. economy however, the financial needs of the industry can drastically change and have changed with the effects of the pandemic.
Hospitality companies need funds for many different reasons including acquisitions, refinancing, reflags, purchasing, conversation, etc. Without the proper financing, a business cannot grow or overcome obstacles. Capital is needed to pay employees, buy and fix appliances, fixtures, and furniture, cover overhead costs, and more.
With little to no financing, hospitality business owners struggle and are under stress. At NAC, we understand what it takes to create a place of comfort for travelers and sustain a business because we are a small business ourselves.
