Getting Started
|
There are many ways to embark on your innkeeping career. You may have discovered helpful online resources. Some areas offer classes through a local community college about owning and operating a B&B. Some companies sole purpose is to instruct aspiring innkeepers and help match them to B&B's that are for sale. You can approach your search in many different ways and be successful. I have met an innkeeper who did none of these things and never even stayed at a B&B prior to purchasing one.
Keep in mind that most bed & breakfast owners are planning to include training as part of the agreement of sale. This could be up to a week (possibly longer) of hands-on training to prepare you for taking over the business after closing. They will introduce you to their vendors, review the mechanical maintenance of the property and explain the day to day actives. This training can be catered to your interests. |
