Weddings or civil unions, birthdays, private parties... there is a very strong demand for room hire to accommodate groups ranging from 10 people to several hundred.
Demand from individuals is strong at weekends and during the holidays, particularly the summer holidays.
Public and private companies are also very often looking for function venues to organise day-long meetings, conferences or seminars lasting several days.
As with private individuals, there is demand for venues that can accommodate from ten or so people to several hundred.
The demand from these professionals is generally for weekdays and outside school holidays. It is therefore a very complementary activity to that of hosting private individuals.
The accommodation business is very often complementary to the creation of a reception hall, as it meets a strong demand from both private individuals and professionals.
A reception business will allow you to use large areas of your property that you wouldn't otherwise have any use for. It's also an additional source of income that can help you repay your bank loans.
You will be able to develop your business in your region and include it in the value of your property when you sell in the future.
As with any business project, you need to take the time to build a balanced plan and gather all the necessary information.
So you have premises (rooms, reception rooms, flat, etc.) that you think are suitable for developing this business project.
Make the best possible estimate of the investment needed between the purchase and the additional investment work. Don't forget the investment in fixtures and fittings, which can also represent a significant budget, as well as any work required to meet reception and safety standards.
Finally, estimate how much time you will need to manage the business (promotion, marketing, welcoming service providers and customers, cleaning, administration, etc.).
If your location seems suitable, you need to check that there is a market in your area or geographical sector.
If you're located near a town, a beautiful natural area or a tourist attraction, that's already an advantage.
Don't hesitate to contact companies that specialise in organising events and caterers to find out whether the market is already saturated or whether there will be a large demand.
The management of a reception is a profession that has become increasingly professional, including when it takes place in private venues.
If you have the skills and the time - it's a very time-consuming activity - you can manage it yourself. You can also form partnerships with agencies specialising in events.
In this case, your sole responsibility is to provide a venue that is suitable for this type of event, without having to worry about running it.
Your group catering business may be complementary to your restaurant business, or simply an adjunct to your residence.
In all cases, the kitchen must comply with professional kitchen standards, whether in terms of hygiene, food safety or fire safety.
Reception rooms are subject to ERP (Etablissements Recevant du Public) standards.
These standards aim to :
Reception halls must therefore have emergency exits, an alarm system, fire-fighting equipment such as fire extinguishers, and evacuation plans.
The venue operator must keep an ERP register, and is subject to various checks, both when the venue opens and regularly afterwards.
In view of these standards, it is essential to incorporate these obligations into the design of your function room, and to call on experts to support you.
You can find reception venues for sale with budgets ranging from €250,000 to €500,000, and up to several tens of millions of euros.
Buying this type of property is therefore accessible to everyone.
The first prices correspond to smaller properties with a more limited capacity. Or properties requiring major renovation work or upgrading to bring them up to standard.
Reception activities are often linked to a prestigious estate that will meet the expectations of many clients, particularly for weddings. Beautiful function rooms, outbuildings that can be used for sleeping, and distance from neighbours to ensure a peaceful setting are all criteria that are sought after for this type of business.
The selling price of a property dedicated to events will depend above all on the value of the property to which it is attached.
