Business Plan for Bed and Breakfast
Writing a business plan for a bed and breakfast is the first step towards operating your own bed and breakfast business. Bed and breakfast businesses are a unique subset in the hospitality industry for several reasons. Not only do they tend to offer meals as part of a total stay package, they also tend to be much smaller and frequently operate out of homes rather than large buildings. Two or three people can comfortably own and operate a bed and breakfast without having to hire additional staff, as opposed to hotels and motels which frequently require larger staffs to cook, clean, and staff the front desk. If you're considering opening a bed and breakfast, there are some things you'll want to include in your business plan:
• How many other bed and breakfasts are within ten miles of your desired location?
• How has the hospitality industry fared in your city in the last year? The last decade?
• What will you offer in your bed and breakfast to set you apart from the local competition?
• How many rooms will you operate? Is there a minimum stay?
• What is the profile of the typical bed and breakfast visitor in your area?
• Where will you advertise your bed and breakfast?
Answering these questions will help you develop a comprehensive business plan that will help convince lenders and investors that your business is worth supporting. It can be challenging to write a successful business plan without access to the latest economic statistics and demographic information for your industry and area.
