Buying a B and B

Here's To Your Profitable Bed And Breakfast Buying a B And B Buying a bed and breakfast can be an incredibly rewarding experience. However, it is also a venture that involves a lot of risk taking. One of the very first things you will have to do is construct a good business plan. This will help you to outline all of the components of buying a bed and breakfast and how you intend to go about it. Planning everything from your menu to your furnishings is important but your first focus should be the financial aspects. If you’re like most of us you aren’t made of money, at least not yet anyway. If you require a loan or investor’s assistance then you will need your business plan polished to a shine. You must make them believe that buying a bed and breakfast is something you know all about. If they see that you have a clear vision and an eye for money management they will be more inclined to work with you. These people get requests and proposals everyday so make yours count. When buying a bed and breakfast there is the option of starting new or taking over one that is already in existence. A new one will take more time and preparation. There are so many things to think about including location and your target market. An already established bed and breakfast might get you started on the right foot by eliminating start up costs. Be sure to find out why the current owner is selling though, you don’t want to become the unfortunate receiver of someone else’s big problem. Many sellers may just be looking to retire or move on and this can be a great way to get your foot in the door.

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?? Test yourself with our B&B industry quiz (click here)! 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.

Readers Comments I wasn't very happy after taking your quiz. In anger I signed up for the emails. I hate to admit I learned a thing or 2. My advice would be to change your quiz so it's not so confrontational. I'm sure you lose a lot of customers with those quiz questions. The ebook is excellent. Thanks William M.
