This channel is like cooking shows. I don't cook very much and when I do it's totally unadventurous stuff, but I really enjoy seeing what they do and the process behind it. Equally I'm not entrepreneurial but I love seeing the thought process, the tipping points, the background information and how these businesses develop. It also helps a lot that James has such a relaxed and informative style of presenting these videos. Some other videos promise they'll provide the real juicy stuff but fail to deliver whereas James hasn't on all his videos I've watched. I'm really enjoying these and long may they continue!

This is why I could never go into a business. I was pretty good and hard working (averaged 50 to 60 hour weeks as a contractor most of my working life) but you just have to have that additional spark, energy, desire (not really the love of money) to be in business. I am jealous of people who have that and are successful. It must be so fulfilling and fun to be in that place. Great video.

At least you are honest with yourself. Business making is not for everyone - you need a certain drive. Most just don't want to work for anyone else - that it itself can be a key motivator. I would fall into that category and I've made a reasonably successful business in property rentals. Came at a cost though.

the difference between this guy and being a contractor is that this guy pays other people to do the work, whilst you actually do the work. he has lots of free time to do what he wants. i mean he has enough free time to run a youtube channel as well as all his businesses. going into business can be hard work at the start, as you try to make ends meet. but once you create a bubble of income and pay off your inevitable debts, you're the freest man on earth. i worked for a business owner in a restaurant. he was the most depressing and serious individual i ever met. it was difficult to get a word out of him and id only see him occasionally. yet he was successful and now he owns one of the most popular restaurants in the region which won several awards. there's no personality requirement for going into business. you don't need to be a certain "type" or be lucky. all you need is a bit of capital and then pick one of the many ways of making money through business and get started. what stops people is not any other reason than the fear of losing. what will your friends and family think of you if you waste tens or hundreds of thousands of pounds on a failed business? it takes some amount of work to make enough capital to start a business. after all that effort, its hard to convince yourself that losing it wont bother you too much if you tried to start a business. but the ability to stop caring and just doing it is the only thing that separates those who do and those who don't.

As an ex hotelier I love to see these videos. Maldon has a high street full of restaurants now so it's a very competitive market. The joint venture idea is good but also problematic as you need to make sure the relationship is strong. Also the deal has to be very win win with the deal slightly favouring the other party. They're taking the higher risk and venues that strike to hard a deal lose in the medium term if the restaurant can't make money. Love what you've done with the rooms, keeping it individual is important for this type of property.

@niterider1969
@niterider1969 3 ай бұрын
@@MrTj145 There is no captured market for a hotel restaurant unless it is in the middle of nowhere or a restaurant with rooms. This hotel is on Maldon High Street with at least 10-12 good eating options with 100 meters of it's front door. The hotel has 15 odd rooms so max 30 people capacity. Let's say there is a sleeper diner ratio of 20% (that would be good for a hotel with this level of restaurant competition) that's 6 covers. So you have to come up with a restaurant concept that will draw in the general public. This is doable but would need a direct entrance to the restaurant and a big investment in fitting out the restaurant along with a successful concept. It is not in any way easy.

A pretty good presentation, full of enthusiasm, James. Your budget of £20000 for refurb of each room looks good however, would suggest having another look at it because this could be bit high. Happy to share with you refurb cost that I have received from a proper 4 star hotel in Germany which covers the cost of everything. For example, new ceiling, ceiling paint work, lights, new mirror, mirror light etc. It goes in much more details. Having said that, reminds me that budget for Hilton Garden Hotel in Aberdeen was around £30000, and that was for Hilton hotels standard where the refurb budget goes quite high mainly because the owner has to use their pre appointed suppliers. Anyway, all the success for your project.

Fascinating video. I was in restaurants and hotels for many years and I think it's never been a tougher time to run an independent hotel. It would've been interesting to see the occupancy rates and REVPAR numbers. A good booking engine in-house is essential to get rates right well in advance. I can't think of anything more expensive than moving and refitting a commercial kitchen... Is there much garden space? Or Function room? The Wedding business is thriving and is very lucrative particulary if you package together rooms, ceremony, food and beverage.

I personally own nothing I had a house for rent for years that I owned outright. I sold it and moved to Thailand had three kids and my wife left me with the children. I lost land and the house and now rent a beautiful condo with my children. No it's not a sad story it's the realization of letting go owning nothing is a much happier life the stress has gone and the shit I had owning land in Thailand was unbelievable. In a word less is definitely more for me anyway. Great video to the real life owner.

£80 a night for a single is a price I would pay. Though not sure I'd have any reason to visit Maldon. Didn't even know where it was until I looked it up. But there are several things that are a priority to me before looking at decoration. 1. Is easy parking available if I arrive by car. 2. Is the room secure. Can I leave my valuables inside without them getting knicked. 3. Peace and quiet. Can I hear the TV from the room above me? When working in London I preferred the cheaper Travelodge to Premier Inn. Travelodge was full of workmen who went to bed early. PI was full of noisy tourists and foreign students up until 3am. The room at one PI overlooked the smoking area of a nightclub. 4. First thing I want at the end of a journey is a few beers.

Great analysis, James! Hotels are fantastic businesses to own if done under the right structure, just like your freehold, which gives you more control compared to a leasehold AND with the right room count. They do still need to be managed carefully, otherwise CAPEX, staffing costs, utilities, distribution costs, and food supplies will eat your margin, or worse. It's a 24/7 business with high fixed costs and not for the fainthearted, but properly managed can achieve a healthy margin (particularly when occupancy hits over a certain threshold!). Your property must be getting good reviews by customers spending so much on drinks! Would love to learn more about your hotel over a call. Bertran from XpertHost

I love this thorough well planned approach. But as a middle-manager in a multinational, I am forced to do things in a clearly unproductive client opposed way.

If there's 1 thing that pushes me away from spending my hard earned cash on any business, whether it's a hotel or a supermarket, it's the fact that some business owners think they can "own" their customers. I have no need for being owned by any company, whether it's Booking or the hotel itself. Privacy laws are there for a reason, and I find myself lodging one complaint after another because some business owners think the laws weren't made for them. You ask for your data to be removed and they either don't answer, they refuse or they lie. You find out that they have lied when the data gets hacked and you suddenly find out that someone has impersonated you to commit fraud.

Sitting in my friend's large Bali home on the Beach. It is a private home and also super-premium high end Air BnB. The challenge of this dream home is the refurbishment cost (and effort) in a tropical climate.

I had a high-class restaurant in 1983 that sold in 2006 and did very well. Those were the hay days of hospitality. Glad I'm out of it now - Good Luck James

@@JamesSinclairEntrepreneur yes which will be a mix of doing it ourselves for the donkey work and a skilled worker on day rate working with us so we can set the pace. This property is lower end though and will be rented out at £75 a night aimed more at builders in the week and stag do types at the weekend. Cheap and cheerful.

The issue with hotels is seasonal demand, unless you happen to be a near a business which needs contractors on a regular basis who need to overnight as this will provide a steady income stream.

I work in a hotel near a busy town centre/shopping centre, we have a pretty constant stream of shop fitting contractors staying and, as someone else has pointed out, contractors are the perfect guests. They're up early and out all day working hard then just want to kick back with a couple of beers, something to eat and an early night.

pretty good gross margins. I wouldnt take all the restaurant risk. That is a tough business so glad you are JVing that. Maybe just rent a restauranteur the space with a low base rent of $10k a month and then take 5% of the restaurant receipts off the top. That was you wont lose money on the restaurant.

Thanks for sharing the numbers. The purchase price seems low given the turnover - I mean you'd get a little box flat in London for that sum not a successful going concern. Perhaps when you provide an update you can mention the all on costs to refurbish the place to get an understanding on return on investment.

Love seeing the numbers! We've handled our Gas & Electricity costs by recording them as a rolling manual journal to smooth out the P&L, so we avoid fluctuations like that. Also, is your other limited company charging the hotel business £800 for rent? Just curious-what would the usual rent roll be?
