Guests want warmth and reliability—lenders want proof you’ll deliver both. This SBA-compliant bed and breakfast business plan template (editable in Word & PDF) turns your concept into a lender-ready roadmap with a clear 3-year forecast. You’ll present confident numbers for occupancy, ADR, and RevPAR so funding moves faster and opening day feels calm and in control.
Unlike generic business plan templates, this one is built specifically for B&B operators. It ties room mix, nightly rates, channel fees, and breakfast costs into a 36-month financial model, so you can show how each reservation flows into revenue, margin, and cash flow. Lenders see exactly how your inn pays the bills and repays the loan.
You’ll start with the Answer Block below, scan the seven core sections included in the plan, and review the U.S. Industry Snapshot with NAICS details before you buy. It’s a complete bed and breakfast business plan template you can customize in an afternoon—without $700+ consultant fees.
What you get: A complete, lender-ready bed and breakfast business plan template (editable Word) plus a defendable 36-month financial model. It connects occupancy, ADR, RevPAR, channel fees, payroll, and breakfast costs to realistic monthly revenue and cash flow so banks can see how their loan will be repaid. The narrative covers property setup, guest experience, staffing, safety, and policies, while the model lets you adjust room mix, rates, and seasonality. You finish with a plan you can explain in a meeting—and a financial story underwriters can follow line by line.
Boutique lodging continues to benefit from experience-seeking travelers, wedding/event spillover, and short-stay getaways. Operators who manage reviews, deliver standout breakfast, and keep policies clear tend to sustain higher ADR and repeat rates. This plan translates those drivers into credible monthly occupancy and RevPAR targets that lenders can evaluate.
Classification/licensing: NAICS 721191 – Bed-and-Breakfast Inns — Official NAICS page. Industry background: American Hotel & Lodging Association.
Positions your bed and breakfast within local demand drivers—weekenders, wedding parties, visiting families, and business travelers—and states a clear value proposition (quiet comfort, great breakfast, walkable location, or views). Outlines use-of-funds across renovations, FF&E, PMS/channel manager, marketing, and working capital. Summarizes projected occupancy, ADR, and break-even timing so lenders can grasp feasibility in under a minute.
Describes your town or region’s tourism patterns, event calendar, and mix of competitors (boutique inns, small hotels, vacation rentals). Explains how Google Maps visibility, OTA placement, and reviews drive bookings and pricing power. Connects seasonality and major events to monthly occupancy targets and rate strategy that feed directly into the financial model.
Breaks down room types (queens, kings, suites), breakfast offerings, late checkout, add-ons, and packages into a simple offer ladder. Clarifies what is included in the nightly rate versus paid upsells like sparkling arrival, bike rentals, or picnic kits. Shows how these upsells lift ADR while protecting margins, and how weekday versus weekend and event-week pricing are set.
Maps daily operations from check-in to breakfast to housekeeping with a clear staffing plan. Details PMS/ channel manager workflows, smart-lock access, laundry routines, and vendor continuity for linens, cleaning, and food. Includes safety checkpoints (smoke/CO detectors, egress, extinguishers) and food-handling notes so lenders see you’ve thought beyond décor and into risk control.
Lays out a practical marketing rhythm built around Google Maps/SEO, OTA optimization, and a review acceleration plan. Describes photo and video standards that convert (rooms, bathrooms, breakfast, exterior at golden hour) and how you’ll use email/SMS to drive repeat stays. Shows partnerships with venues, tourism boards, and local businesses that keep occupancy strong beyond peak season.
Clarifies the owner-operator role versus any part-time staff or outsourced help. Defines daily and weekly KPIs—occupancy, ADR, RevPAR, cost per occupied room, review scores, and channel mix—and how you’ll respond when metrics drift off target. Gives lenders confidence that someone is watching the numbers, not just the décor.
Provides a transparent 36-month forecast wired to your assumptions for room count, occupancy, ADR, channel fees, payroll, utilities, breakfast cost per guest, and capex/FF&E. Includes seasonality curves and sensitivities for rate changes, occupancy swings, and marketing spend. Lenders can follow line items from nightly rates to NOI and debt service coverage.
One-time purchase — no subscriptions. You get a U.S. lender-ready bed and breakfast business plan template plus a 36-month financial model that you can reuse and adjust as your inn grows.
