Funding to Boost Your Business<br />
Portman Finance Group<br />

Portman Finance Group is both a lender and broker whose expertise<br />
includes helping holiday parks and landowners secure the<br />
funding they need to expand or boost their business. They<br />
work with a wide variety of sites to secure funds that<br />
spread the cost of everything from accommodation to<br />
catering facilities, hot tubs to playgrounds.<br />
As well as working as finance partner to many<br />
industry manufacturers, Portman has recently sourced<br />
funding for lodges, pods and domes across the UK<br />
giving them a unique insight into recent investment<br />
trends.<br />
2024 investment themes centre around uniqueness<br />
and luxury. Creating something different is crucial, whether<br />
that’s the accommodation itself, maximising your natural<br />
setting or building a memorable experience, not just a row of cabins.<br />
In addition, an increasing number of customers are less keen to ‘roughit’,<br />
pay attention to accommodation options, family facilities and luxury<br />
upgrades.<br />
