Hotel pre-acquisition: which analyses before signing?
The hotel suite provides documented valuation and funding scenarios, sourced tourism observations and an acquisition file. No score guarantees value, financing or an E-2 visa. Document price, cash flows, costs, funding and comparison sources. The due diligence file gathers your evidence and observations; it is not legal or technical approval.
Method: combining income and comparables approaches
Direct capitalisation of supported income and comparison of transactions per room, with explicit evidence and weights. Results depend on supplied data and each tool’s scope. Reports and files do not certify USALI, tax or banking compliance or administrative eligibility.
Documented operations
Enter payroll, including employer contributions, once in its dedicated categories; exclude it from other expenses. Document every category, including absent ones with zero. Non-operating expenses may include rent, property insurance and property taxes; exclude interest, income taxes, depreciation, amortisation and FF&E reserve. Use a consistent VAT basis. GOP = departmental profit − general expenses. EBITDA = GOP − management fees + non-operating income − non-operating expenses. The reserve is deducted afterwards. This simplified statement is not USALI certification, a benchmark or net profit after financing and income tax.
Frequently asked questions
What does the Hospitality Solutions hub cover?
Hotel tools: documented valuation, debt coverage, operations, E-2 preparation, forecasts from supplied history, sourced comparisons, MICE, CAPEX and published transactions. Hotel group: saved files and periods, declared-data PDF reports, period comparison and threshold settings. Automatic alert monitoring is not confirmed. The PMS area contains property and reservation management screens. Analysis tools use their own inputs and sources; no automatic transfer to the group is assumed.
Is the PMS compliant with Luxembourg tax rules?
Check reservations, charges, rates and supporting documents before producing an invoice or report. Stored data alone does not establish tax or accounting validity. The rate depends on the service and VAT Act schedules. F&B does not determine one universal rate. Check each line and any local tax against applicable sources.
Can I sync with Booking, Airbnb, Expedia?
Check the import/export functions offered for your property and how the destination channel works. An iCal calendar guarantees neither immediate updates nor freedom from overbooking; check rates and payments separately.
What is the difference between GOP, EBITDA and net income?
GOP = departmental profit − general expenses. EBITDA = GOP − management fees + non-operating income − non-operating expenses. The reserve is deducted afterwards. This simplified statement is not USALI certification, a benchmark or net profit after financing and income tax.
Do the tools work for a hotel in France, Belgium or Germany?
Results depend on supplied data and each tool’s scope. Reports and files do not certify USALI, tax or banking compliance or administrative eligibility. Enter rooms and property settings. Check rates, tax treatment and any local taxes before use; no setup duration is guaranteed.
Do I need a TEGOVA expert for a bank?
Ask the bank which scope, valuation date, methods and qualifications it requires for your case. No universal loan threshold or bank acceptance is guaranteed here. A SHA-256 hash checks file integrity; by itself it is neither an electronic signature nor a professional valuation.
