Tips for Aspiring Innkeepers
The
prospective innkeeper is faced with a daunting task. Simply put, there
are myriads of questions and concerns that most people have. Do you know
what you can afford? How about types of loans? We can answer many
questions with a phone call or email, so please ask for
input. There are lots of
articles
which can answer your questions, too. For more complex tasks such as assessing an inn you are
considering buying or crafting a business plan that will help you secure
a loan, there are many consulting services
The B&B Team can provide on a flexible fee-for service basis. If we can
help, we will.
Determining whether you and/or your partner are suited to innkeeping is
a challenge in itself. Across the country there are many seminars and
workshops designed to help you make this determination. We believe that our
practical, unvarnished approach to introducing you to the world of innkeeping and giving you real assessment tools to help in your search
is an important part of our job. Please consider

What Our Attendees Have Said About The Seminar
"Great! I now know what to look for in an inn!" ...Tom from Delaware
"Well done. I critique professional public speaking for a living -- for
presentational speaking you are all very effective. Again, the organization with
materials was professional and helpful with lots of resources that I will
actually be able to use." ...Lauri from Florida
"Very informative. Took some of the intimidation edge off as far as feeling
capable of running a B&B." ...Kathy from Arizona
"Outstanding. I can't imagine a better presentation of all this material
within the given time restraint. Not only was this an outstanding seminar in
regards to running a B&B, but so many great ideas and useful info that
transcends into other career ideas." ...Angie from South Carolina
"Very informative and will no doubt be a big help as we move toward becoming
innkeepers. Jam packed -- almost too much ground to cover in one weekend --
rewarding." ...Joe from New York
"Thank you for one of the best seminars I have ever attended! Not only was it
professional and informative, it was fun!!! I have never spent so many hours
learning something new and enjoyed myself so thoroughly in the process. It was a
wonderful touch to be able to see the other inns in the area and really
experience the look and feel of each. I can't imagine anyone taking on such a
life changing endeavor without professional guidance and advice. It is very
exciting to have a feel for the 'reality' behind the dream. I am sure that you
have saved us a tremendous amount of time, and we are really looking forward to
working with you as we make our dream our reality!" ...Mary from New Hampshire
"Very, very good. Nice breadth of information and interaction. Not boring or
business-speak. From a skeptic, very good job. Glad we made the trip." ...Glenn
from New Jersey "Succinct,
entertaining, and full of copious, important information. Never a sleepy eye in
the crowd!" ...Diana from Washington, DC "We
are members of PAII - but shall indicate this seminar is mandatory for all
potential innkeepers." ...Sandy from Washington, DC "Very
informative with how to go about finding location, what people want, how to
cater to the public, marketing, etc." ...Pamela from Maryland "The
B&B Team is great; presentations were informative and were done by experienced
practitioners; lessons learned were helpful." ...Hank from Florida "We got
more out of the sessions than expected & departed with a renewed drive to pursue
our dream and the confidence that it's the right business for us.
You have two very
satisfied seminar participants & our recommendation of your program, should you
ever require it, is unqualified." ...Rob from Toronto, Canada "Wow, what an incredible weekend! I have read almost every book on running
B&B's and I learned more from your seminar than I did reading all those
books.... Thanks so much for your help. You literally saved our bank account and
our 'retirement.' Feel free to have anyone call us for a referral about your
seminars." ...Patti from Connecticut “Invaluable..., a great overview of the ins and outs of the B&B business”…Pat
from New Hampshire
“Very informative and necessary in this decision making process.”…Leslie from
Maine "A life saver! We are much more
prepared to purchase and run an inn." ...Patricia from Connecticut "Thank you for being real."
