Aspiring Innkeeper Bed and Breakfast Seminars
So, do you have a dream of owning a Bed and Breakfast, Country Inn, Lodge, Cabins, or other great hospitality property? It’s a great dream and can be a wonderful lifestyle when you choose wisely. Before I started to help others on the path of inn ownership I ran a successful Select Registry bed and breakfast property for over 10 years.
If you are serious about investigating your dream of being a bed and breakfast innkeeper, it is imperative that you go into the business with your eyes open, so you make the right decisions leading to a successful inn and a fulfilling personal experience.
Where to begin? A Bed and Breakfast Seminar will put things into perspective!
One of our seminars will provide a comprehensive overview of finding the Inn, Bed and Breakfast, or other lodging property that meets your goals and fulfills your dreams. Some of the essential topics we cover in our seminars are:
- Innkeeping Basics; industry statistics, trends, and background
- Building the Profile of the inn that meets YOUR goals, dreams and needs
- How you can find THE inn you have defined anywhere in the world
- The Due Diligence process of the purchase phase
- Financing an inn purchase; a critical step in the discovery process
- Understanding the real VALUE of an bed and breakfast inn
- Developing your Bed and Breakfast Business Plan; for the lenders who may finance your inn and as your guiding star in the future
- Learning what the educational and informational tools are that you need to go forward
All of our educational seminars are complete for 2024. Come back later this year to see our list of seminars for 2025. We hope to see you at the upcoming ALP and Mid-Atlantic B&B Conferences.
