Sector information: hotel

If you're looking to acquire a hotel, there are several things to consider. Here are some important considerations:

• Location: the location of the hotel is an important factor. Pay attention to whether the hotel is in a high tourism area and whether there are potential growth opportunities for the business.
• Fixtures and equipment: view the condition of the property, its interior and equipment. Are renovations needed and what are the costs? Pay attention to whether the furnishing and equipment match the target group and the type of hotel you want to operate.
• Financial performance: study the financial performance of the hotel, such as revenue, income statement, balance sheet and cash flow. Ask about the reasons behind any revenue or profit declines.
• Customer base: research the hotel's customer base and see if there are opportunities to expand it. Also look at any regular customers and relationships with businesses or organizations.
• Personnel: look at the current workforce and assess whether there are enough qualified personnel to run the hotel. Also ask about any employment contracts and conditions.
• Permits and regulations: check what permits and certificates the hotel needs and whether they are up to date. Also pay attention to local regulations, such as building codes and fire safety requirements.
• Competition: view the competition in the hotel area and how you can stand out from other hotels in the area.
• Online reputation: study the hotel's online reputation, such as reviews on websites like TripAdvisor and Booking.com. Assess whether there are opportunities to improve the hotel's online presence and reputation.
• It is important to conduct a thorough due diligence before acquiring a hotel so that you have all the information you need to make an informed decision and have a realistic picture of the hotel's potential.
