Here's To Your Profitable Bed And Breakfast
Bed & Breakfast For Sale
If you’re looking for a bed & breakfast for sale, you may be surprised by the choices. There are so many listed it can quickly get overwhelming. A simple internet search will result in hundreds of websites dedicated to B&B sales. Once you narrow it down to your city or town of choice, you need to really know what you’re looking for. Your decision as a buyer should be based on a variety of things. If you purchase a bed & breakfast for sale based on price or looks alone it may be a big mistake.
As a potential innkeeper you want to know a listed property is making money. Buying into someone else’s problem would be unfortunate. An owner with nothing to hide should be willing to show proof of success and financial documents. If you’re working with a bank for financing they will require the previous three years of financial records. Take care not to rush into anything without getting the necessary history.
It may be your bed & breakfast for sale. If so, perhaps burnout is to blame. It is listed as the number one reason innkeepers want to sell. Upon reaching that level of being unable to cope, it’s difficult to maintain business success. Consultants often recommend that you formulate a business plan for leaving in advance. This can make the transition smoother and less damaging. The decline of sales will negatively affect buyer offers. You must work to keep the business growing even if you are ready to get out. The transaction of a bed & breakfast for sale isn’t known to be easy. However, it is known to be rewarding.

Here is a horrific fact. Most B&B's can't be sold! Why?
The majority of B&B's simply don't generate enough revenue to make them viable businesses.
The good new is that there is a small group of owner/operators who have busy, profitable operations and are becoming wealthy.
Unfortunately, many new B&B owners simply don't have the insider knowledge to succeed in today's environment.
Too many hard working individuals are losing their money, and their dreams, due to a lack of specific information.
If you are thinking about opening your own B&B, or struggling to make your current place profitable, please take our quiz to see if your "industry knowledge" is up to date.
Most of the current Bed and Breakfast training is based on an industry that existed 20+ years ago. Today's marketplace is much different. This is the insider information that the wealthy minority use everyday to improve their operations. Do you know whether you are seeing today's B&B big picture, or your knowledge is still based on an industry that existed in the 1960's, 70's or 80's??

One particular struggling B&B couple caused us to write down this information. We knew there was just one or two things we could have told those rookie owners that would have made a difference. Unfortunately, we didn't get the chance. To read more about that story, click here

Thanks Patricia and Rob
We were writing an offer for an existing bed and breakfast when we came upon your website. After reading your information we made a complete turn in our business plan. We were able to ask many questions of the seller we wouldn't have asked before. Our agent was unaware of many of the points you mention. As a result, we greatly reduced the price of our offer. If the vendor refuses (which I don't think he will), we'll be fully prepared to find a better deal. Your ebook has already saved us money!
You have our thanks
Kris and Christopher F.
