NSWE agree new Aston Villa loan as document revealed
Aston Villa have taken out a loan from Kroll Trustee Services which looks to be secured on properties owned by the club.
The loan appears to have been taken out on 26 November from the company registered in the Shard.
Documents from Companies House were posted on X by Kieran Maguire (28 November) revealing which properties were secured and the details of the loan.
Villa have secured the loan on properties owned as well as commercial contracts.
What does the loan mean for Aston Villa?
Ultimately, taking out on a loan is a common occurrence in football clubs and they’re typically used to aid with cash flow and transfers.
Premier League sides often need immediate access to finances to negotiate and complete deals during transfer windows. Loans and other financing methods can help clubs with short-term cash flow concerns and debt is often key to financing a transfer.
Loans can often be filed based on future revenue streams which in Aston Villa’s case, will be Champions League income and broadcast finances.
The amount of the loan taken out by the Villans is unknown at this point but the cash flow will aid the club in their hopes of strengthening the squad in January although heavily reliant on future income.
FFP will come into question at some point depending on whether Villa are deemed to be spending more money than they earn as a club but it seems unlikely to have any drastic effect on that.
