Hospitality Underwriting Firm · United Kingdom

More direct bookings. Less paid to the platforms.

We help independent hotels, spas, retreats and glamping estates win back the bookings they lose to Booking.com and the others — and we're paid on the extra revenue we bring in.

Why a firm, not an agency

We're an underwriting firm — and we work like one.

That's not a label we borrow to sound serious. We don't run activity and hope it works: we measure the direct revenue you lose to Booking.com and the other OTAs, price exactly what's recoverable, and put our own fee on the outcome.

01

We price the loss first

Before any promise, we put a figure in pounds on what you're losing and what we can recover — measured from your data, not guessed.

02

We carry the risk

Part of our fee depends on the direct revenue we actually bring back. An agency is paid whatever happens. We aren't.

03

We're selective

Like any underwriter, we only take a case when the numbers work — so a mandate with us is a signal in itself.

Where the money goes

Every booking through a platform costs you 15 to 25% in commission.

Booking.com, Expedia and the others bring you guests — then take a cut of every stay. But many of those guests already knew your hotel. They booked through the platform because it was easier, or because your own website was slower to answer.

We find those bookings and bring them back to your own website, where they cost you no commission. First we measure how much is at stake — for free.

How we recover it

Every channel that decides whether a guest books direct — run by us.

Your website

We make it as fast and easy to book on as the OTAs — so demand stops leaking to the platforms.

Google Business Profile

We run it so a search for your hotel ends in a direct booking, not a platform click.

Reviews

We keep your rating up and reply fast, while reviews still decide bookings.

Conversion video

Short-form video made to convert interest into a direct booking — not to entertain.

Price monitoring

We watch your rates across the platforms so they never undercut your own site.

Paid acquisition

Meta and Google Ads that capture demand before a platform can take its cut.

How we work together

Three steps. You decide after each one.

1

Free assessment

We look at your website, your reviews and your booking channels, and we tell you — in pounds — how much direct revenue you're losing and how much we can realistically bring back. If it isn't worth it, we say so.

2

The Acquisition Thesis

A written report you pay for and keep: where you're losing money, how much we can recover, and a 90-day plan to do it. It's yours whether you hire us or not.

3

The mandate

We do the work. Part of our fee depends on the extra direct revenue we actually generate — so we only earn well if you do.

Your social media

An abandoned Instagram makes people wonder if the hotel is still open.

Guests check your social media before they book. When it looks neglected, that booking often goes to a platform instead. We run it so it sends demand straight to your own direct channel.

How we're paid

We're paid on the extra revenue we bring in — not on your spend.

The lower line is your direct bookings if nothing changes. The upper line is the same channel after we've worked on it. We earn on the difference.
