MHA has never failed to find revenue enhancement, cost reductions and value enhancement for any asset on which we have been engaged.
We can provide expert assessments and due diligence in a quick manner, providing an expert opinion on the true health of the asset.
We have a proprietary program called “SAVE” that stands for Strategic Asset Value Enhancement, and allows us to provide lenders either a deep dive or executive summary of an asset, thus saving them time in order to quickly evaluate an asset’s potential and develop appropriate strategies in multiple markets with significant, measurable financial success.
We have successfully negotiated over 200 franchise and management agreements with most major hard and soft brands.
Through our global hospitality network, we can connect you to top professionals that have worked on over $87 billion of hospitality assets and negotiated over 1,000 management and franchise agreements.
Our team has access to hundreds of millions of dollars of rescue capital, debt acquisition capital, and asset acquisition capital.
