This program is included in your Meet the Money® registration–just select it when you sign up for the conference if you are interested in attending.
Most hospitality projects need some form of private equity. Raising private equity is hard for any hospitality project, and getting the right equity is even harder. Come roll up your sleeves and work with the experts on the best means to attract the right equity capital to your project.
This interactive workshop will be led by Jonathan Falik of JF Capital Advisors and Guy Maisnik, Vice Chair of JMBM’s Global Hospitality Group®. Come listen to private equity experts from Rockbridge Capital, Arris Capital and others who will explain how they evaluate requests for capital, what makes certain deals attractive to them, and when they do not make sense.
Learn:
- 5 mistakes to avoid when seeking private equity capital
- What makes a project most attractive to private equity
- How to get faster decisions and execution
- How you’ll know if you have the “right” equity for your project
- How to minimize last-minute deal changes
The experts will address the best practices to raising equity for hotel acquisitions and developments. We will walk through the evaluation of a deal, key steps that cannot be missed to secure the right equity partner, best deal structuring methods, and closing the transaction.
