All this as well as the core information from the service

• What do you need to know if you’re thinking about opening a B&B in your retirement?
• Does setting up some self-catering apartments sound like a smart investment?
• Have you always fancied life as a hotelier with your own boutique guesthouse?

Whether it’s a business start-up, an inheritance, a working-retirement plan, or a mid-life career change one of the key things that could tarnish the dream is compliance, legal compliance

The whole concept of compliance with legislation is not sexy or exciting – but it is of crucial importance for the hospitality and tourism sectors, and one that no one can afford to ignore.

Accommodation Know-How takes the stress out of all the nagging worries that might keep an accommodation provider awake at night.

• Health and Safety Issues such as fire risk assessments
• Financial issues like whether/how you can claim payment from guests who don’t pay
• Access priorities such as the need to adjust premises for guests with disabilities

Anyone who owns, runs or is contemplating running B&B, guesthouse, self catering, camping/caravan parks, and small hotels will find the guidance they need at www.accommodationknowhow.co.uk with subscription costing less than £30.00 a year or * from 1st April 2009, free to members of the VisitBritain quality assurance scheme.
