Project Description

The company requests a loan of 156 000 € for 18 months to finance the construction of 10 new bedrooms. This project will be realised this quarter.

As a reminder, in July 2016, October’s lending community financed Saint-Exupéry over 48 months for 280 000 € as well as David Dassin’s companies: Saint-Maur Styles in June 2018 and Trappes Enzo in May 2019.

The amount offered on the platform is limited to 76 440€, which is in line with the regulatory limits.

Analyst’s Opinion

With a turnover of 1 348 000 € in 2018 and an experienced team, the company has a good track record combined with a two-digits operating margin.

In 2018 the increase in turnover is due to a better occupancy rate and a increase of the average price of room. 2019 will be in line with last year.

The forecast is based on the 2018 performance.

The borrower has a good repayment capacity with a forecast FCCR (Fixed Charge Cover Ratio *) at 1,39 and an excellent financial structure, with a forecast net debt / ebitda ratio of 0,6 and a net debt / shareholder equity of 8%.

The analysis of the project leads to a credit rating of B+ and a 3,6% annual interest rate.

*The multiple of FCCR at 1,39 means that the company has a safety margin of 39% relative to its ability to repay its credit maturities.
