Two paths, depending on where you're starting from
First-time developers
New-start projects
- Relevant experience in a similar sector (leisure, hospitality, sport) helps, though not always essential

- A clear, well-prepared business plan
- A deposit or capital contribution, typically 10-20% of the project cost
Established operators
Leisure & hospitality businesses
- Existing trading history and financials support the higher funding levels (£1 million+)
