A few weeks ago, Little Guest raised over 600,000€ through a crowdfunding campaign on the UK platform Crowdcube. Today, Little Guest is extending this campaign on Spreds to enable Belgian investors to invest in the company while reducing their taxes!
Investors and financing 💶
Since the launch of its activities, Little Guest has raised over €4.5M (of which 3.3M in equity and 1.3M in debt) from leading family offices and investment funds, a luxury international hotel group, children's clothing brand Bonpoint, banks and well-known private investors.
Funding rounds over the years
Revenues and valuation 🎯
Little Guest has generated more than €30 million in sales since 2020 and the company's valuation has increased by a factor of 6 in 6 years to reach €6 million in pre-money today.
Little Guest expects to exit in 2030. At that point, to assess its resale value, the company is applying a 7x multiple to the EBITDA it expects to generate, which brings the valuation to €33m.
Through this crowdfunding operation, Little Guest hopes to enable you to multiply your investment by a factor of 3.8 and offer you an IRR of 25%.
Profitability ✔️
Little Guest has achieved profitability throughout the first half of 2024 and is at a pivotal point in its history, on the cusp of profitability and scalability.
The company carried out a major restructuring in 2023, enabling it to significantly reduce its negative EBITDA in 2023 and 2024.
Little Guest could stop investing and reach profitability immediately. But the young company is ambitious and wants to continue its growth.
Historical performance and forecast
Use of funds 🚀
Little Guest wishes to launch its offer on the Dutch and English-speaking markets, a strategy that requires sales and marketing investment. The company also wants to step up its investment in technology in order to increase its range of stays that can be booked directly online. Scalability will be achieved by automating sales.
Today, 7% of sales are automated online sales, while 93% of sales are confirmed by the call centre (telephone, WhatsApp, CRM, email, etc).
Little Guest wants to increase its online offer (today less than 50% of the offer can be booked online).
The company is on the right track and has been chosen by Club Med as a pilot platform for selling Club Med holidays online outside the official website of the famous all-in holiday provider.
