    Hi, I am planning to start a small paying guest accommodation (or a ladies hostel). I have my own space of around 700 sq.ft, which is above my residence and i have partitioned the same as three rooms and one hall. The plan is to accommodate around 8 - 10 people. I would be personally taking incharge of the food and maintenance. I am a lay man seeking good suggestions. Chennai, Tamilnadu, India.

Our hostel will be affiliated with the HIUSA network. We will accommodate between 32-36 guests and hope to open by late summer 2014. We have found a building centrally located in the downtown. The site is easily accessible to local and national/international transportation. We are still putting our funding package together to purchase and remodel and furnish the building. We will combine our bank, local new business grant/loan programs and crowdfunding, plus our personal assets. We would welcome an additional compatible partner . James R.

I heard that people with more than 12 units will for a PG business will need to get a trade license. It is only max 3 portions. Can you please guide me through this? I am not very sure if the neighbours would be happy about it. They were restricting us to let it out for office use.

  • R K said on September 14, 2015
    I am in the planning stages of starting a Hostel or Bed & Breakfast here in the USA. I have the financial resources, business background, motivation to bring this to fruition. I am looking for a like-minded individual to partner with me in this endeavor--someone who is a mature christian like myself, has some savings (money) to invest in as well, and will bring to the table his or her expertise in different aspects of a new start-up. Someone who is willing to give their best and be there for the long haul, not bail out, as starting and running a business is not for the "faint of heart." I have traveled the world, over 50 countries and stayed at all kinds of hostels in the past 30 years, am a US citizen, presently residing in TN, and have my finances in order. I have run a small company before and worked for large corp. like IBM and a couple of others as well.

    My Advice is: ask yourself is this what you truly want to do, is this what makes you happy. Secondly, get your finances in order. Most people over-romanticize the idea of opening a hostel; either because they enjoy traveling so much, or just completely underestimate what they are getting themselves into starting up a business.

    If this has struck a chord with you, and you are serious about this new venture, kindly email me at imark99@hotmail.com

    In your email, please kindly tell me more about yourself. (so I know if we could be a "good fit"
    Why you would be an ideal partner?
    What you have to offer, what you will bring to the table.
    Why you want to open a hostel?
    How much you are willing to invest?
    Do you have good references?
    (I LOOK FORWARD TO HEARING FROM MY FUTURE PARTNER.
    SERIOUS INQUIRIES ONLY. I will only respond back to those who I believe would be a good fit. Thanks.
