The go2 story
A landlord-friendly platform for greater security and value.
Together, Lionel Benjamin, an experienced hotel business leader and Viv Watts, an innovator investor and landlord, recognised the necessity for a landlord-friendly hybrid lease. Fuelled by the use of contentious CVAs by well-capitalised hotel groups and cuts to agreed rents due to Covid, there was a growing demand for an alternative to fixed and turnover leases. In response, they developed the go2 Hotels hybrid profit lease, by designing a model which provides cash-flow positive, long term returns on investments whilst adding value to assets. go2 Hotels has achieved significant growth within the hospitality sector.
We have combined the best in hospitality and real estate expertise with a transformational hybrid profit lease structure which ensures landlords, hoteliers and investors receive the security and profitability from investments they deserve.
