Hello Tinerfe-lovers! :hello:
I am sure someone will think I should've searched the existant topics before I write, so I can tell you I did! :wink2: But forum searching is not my strongest feature, I notice... besides, I trust there's someone here who has time to shortly advice me about some considerably basic things.
My business idea is to open a guesthouse in the Southern Tenerife (in an old finca perhaps) for specific groups and offer them not only bed and breakfast but tours and some cultural experiences around the island as well.
The problem seems to be, the touristic law makes it impossible to private owners to let their property for holiday purposes, right? Did I get that right? So, legally it's only possible to buy an existing hotel or something, not set up a new one?
I'm wondering, how do new guesthouses ever open in Spain, if this is the case. My plan would be to pay taxes to Spain, not Finland. Also, my guests would use the LOCAL services and so would I. Does any of you lovely people happen to know if there actually IS chances of setting up a business that I'm describing? Plus is there a chance to get any kind of financing for businesses that will support the local economical situation?
With humble thanks,
