Pre-venture consultation

If you haven’t run a guest house before do you really know what you’re looking for?
Being a paying guest is one thing but just how much do you know about being the host? Even those who have worked in hotels can find running their own B&B is a different world. We will advise on specific premises and locations helping you to avoid unseen pitfalls before you buy.: Business Planning - for finance and forecasting; Preparing a business plan is usually the first step to obtaining finance and credibility. The masses of preparation and planning that go into your first draft are only the beginning of the ‘paper trail’ your business will create; you will need to continually plan and forecast, juggling budgets with ideas in an ever-changing customer centred sector.
: Already established but lost your way? - Coaching and Signposting

Sometimes it takes an outside view to see your business’s strengths and weaknesses. Perhaps a professional ‘mystery customer’ can shed light on your business? We can help you stay on track and in touch with your original aims. If you are considering joining a ‘grading’ scheme perhaps an independent, un-biased, pre-grading report will help you to achieve those ‘brownie points’. Maybe a change of direction is needed and a review of your competitors? All these are Blue Door services which can greatly enhance your potential.
