Independent Financial Advisory

Short-term letting income is volatile.
Your finances don't have to be.

RC Consultancy designs bespoke financial instruments and risk profiles that convert nightly, seasonal cashflow into something an operator can actually plan a business around.

● Nightly STR revenue ● Structured instrument
Illustrative: raw nightly revenue against the stepped drawdown produced by an income-smoothing instrument.

Built for operators, not spreadsheets

RC Consultancy was founded in July 2024 to close a specific gap: short-term letting operators were managing genuinely volatile, seasonal income with financial tools built for steady monthly salaries.

The practice works with a small, consistent base of property operators, building risk profiles and financial instruments around the way their income actually behaves, not a generic template borrowed from conventional lending.

RC Consultancy brings a quantitative approach to a market that is usually advised on gut feel.

Four ways to turn occupancy risk into a plan

INSTRUMENT — REF. 01

Income Smoothing Facility

Converts variable nightly revenue into a structured monthly drawdown, so payroll, mortgage and supplier commitments stop depending on this week's occupancy.

INSTRUMENT — REF. 02

Risk Profile Mapping

Quantifies occupancy, seasonality and rate volatility into a single risk score, which is then used to price every other instrument on this list.

INSTRUMENT — REF. 03

Seasonal Reserve Structuring

Sizes and times cash reserves against a property's actual low-season exposure, rather than an arbitrary rule of thumb borrowed from a different industry.

INSTRUMENT — REF. 04

Portfolio Advisory

For operators running several properties, consolidates exposure across the whole portfolio into one coherent financial position, not four disconnected spreadsheets.

How a project actually runs

01

Discovery

A review of occupancy history, rate calendar and existing obligations to establish the true shape of the income.

02

Modelling

A risk profile is built from that data, quantifying seasonality and volatility rather than estimating it.

03

Structuring

The right instrument, or combination, is designed and sized specifically to the profile produced above.

04

Review

Instruments are revisited as occupancy patterns shift with the season, a new property, or a changing market.

What operators say after structuring

"

I stopped bracing for the quiet months. The reserve structuring meant I already knew what January would look like before it arrived.

Coastal operator, 6-property portfolio
"

The risk profile was the first time anyone had put a number on how volatile my income actually was, rather than telling me to keep three months' expenses aside.

City-centre operator, single property
"

Payroll used to move with the calendar. Now it doesn't, and that alone changed how confidently I could plan a second property.

Start with a risk profile

A short conversation is usually enough to tell whether an instrument would help. There's no cost or commitment to that first call.
