Aspiring Innkeepers Info

Where do you begin when opening a B&B, Inn or small lodging property? We can help aspiring innkeepers to know where to start, which includes typically 5 key components needed before you should host the traveling public:

1. Zoning
2. Business License
3. State Tax ID Number
4. Health Inspection
5. Commercial Liability Insurance

You might also need to collect and pay Occupancy or Food Taxes, obtain a Liquor License through the VABC, be inspected by a Fire Marshall or apply for a Special Use Permit (SUP). Each property or business, as well as the county and city are different. Join StayVA as an aspiring member to receive one-on-one support as you prepare to open your doors to travelers.
