Bed and Breakfasts For Sale




There are always several bed and breakfasts for sale on the market. At first glance they may all look similar. Don’t let first impressions fool you when it comes to business. Finding a good property worthy of investment will take some digging. Turning up as much information as possible is essential in your decision making. Don’t let your choices be based on looks or style. Allowing yourself to get attached to a bed and breakfast before knowing all the details can be a let down. If it doesn’t work out you will be kicking yourself.




Many resources exist to assist in locating bed and breakfasts for sale. A simple search engine search will produce more results than you need. Online market listings make it easy to reach potential innkeepers if you’re selling. It’s effective for providing essential information and photographs of the property. You can also list your website for further details. This method is nice for specifying target locations that match you with a buyer near you.




It’s important that you keep financial reports handy and up to date. Buyers shopping for bed and breakfasts for sale will ask to see them. In some cases the financial lenders must see them also. All profit and loss needs to be documented properly using correct accounting methods. If accounting is not your area of expertise you may need to hire a professional. Health and safety codes should be checked regularly. Any violation can cause the closure of your business. This would make it unappealing to the prospective buyer. There are many bed and breakfasts for sale so do what it takes to make yours stand apart from the rest.


Unfortunately, there aren't any great college courses on "How To Start A Profitable Bed and Breakfast". (And if there are, they are probably taught by someone who's never owned one!) The statistics don't lie. Most B&B's aren't making a lot of money, and are hard to sell. We became frustrated seeing unsuspecting new owners lose their dreams (and their nest eggs). Sometimes it's just a lack of insider information that causes their operations to not meet their expectations. Especially for an older b&b rookie, this can be devastating in what should be their happy twilight "smell-the-roses" years.

We have put together a special quiz so you can test and see whether you current bed and breakfast business knowledge is based on today's industry realities, a romantic notion, or b&b information and training that was valid 20 years ago. (Newsflash: times have REALLY changed!)

It is our hope that this quiz, and the answers, might stop the growing statistics of b&b owners losing their dreams. So, before you spend your hard earned money acquiring and opening your B&B, we urge you to try the quiz.

There are very successful bed and breakfast operators. There is a HUGE number of well meaning, hard working rookie owners who simply aren't aware of the "insider secrets" to creating a profitable b&b.

Thank you, thank you
We had run out of gas. We jumped into our Inn without really knowing what to do. You've given us hope we can get out of the mess we've got ourselves into. Last night we decided to take our place off the market and start fixing it.
We definately owe you
