Short-term rental business advisory

Find what your STR business is leaving on the table.

For owners, operators and property managers who know there are parts of the business that could be working better.

I look across the numbers, guests, listings and day-to-day operation to find what deserves attention first.

Ways to work together

Three ways we can work together

Investigate the wider business, understand your guests or improve one workflow.

Investigate

Opportunity Audit

Find the opportunities hiding across your business.

A broader investigation across revenue, guest behaviour, listings, operations and systems to understand what deserves attention first.

Best for A joined-up view and clear priorities.

Experience behind the advice

Practical experience. A curious, independent view.

Stay Advisory is built around experience working inside short-term rental operations, understanding how the different parts connect and finding improvements that make sense in the real world.

How Stay Advisory thinks

Sometimes the problem isn’t where you think it is.

A listing problem might actually be pricing. A guest communication problem might be a process problem. Rising revenue might be hiding shrinking margins. The useful part is looking across the business and joining those dots.

  • Revenue & Margin
  • Guests
  • Listings & Distribution
  • Operations
  • Systems & Technology

That’s why Stay Advisory looks at the business as a whole, rather than one metric, platform or department in isolation.

Who it’s for

Owners, operators and property managers at different stages.

Stay Advisory is most useful when there are real bookings, guests, systems and operating history to learn from. Whether you’re scaling a smaller portfolio or managing dozens of properties, we’ll look across the business to find where the opportunities are.

If you’re earlier in the journey, that’s okay too. If there’s something you’re trying to work out, get right from the beginning or avoid learning the hard way, it’s still worth a conversation.

How it works

Think you could be doing better somewhere? Let’s talk about it.

Tell me about your business, what’s working, what isn’t, or anything you think could be better. I’ll bring a fresh pair of eyes and my experience working inside STR operations every day, and we’ll work out together where it makes sense to start.

01

Book a call

No polished brief needed. Just tell me what’s going on.

02

Talk it through

We will explore the context and agree what questions are worth answering.

03

Follow the evidence

We review the agreed information, record what is missing and avoid filling gaps with guesses.

04

Work through the findings

We sit down together to discuss the patterns, priorities and practical choices.

Questions

A few things you may want to know.

Which package should I choose?

The Opportunity Audit looks across the wider business. Guest Intelligence takes a closer look at selected properties and their guests. The Operations & Systems Sprint improves one agreed workflow through hands-on work. If you are unsure, book a relaxed call and tell me what is happening.

What is the Operations & Systems Sprint?

A focused, hands-on package to improve one agreed operational workflow, usually over 1–2 weeks once access and scope are agreed. We work through the changes together, with implementation calls and follow-up. It is a practical starting point when a recurring process needs attention, rather than a wider business investigation.

What data do you need?

It depends on the question. Useful sources can include PMS reservation data, pricing and discount rules, fees, reviews, direct-booking records, software costs and guest communications. I only ask for information that can help answer the agreed questions.

How long does the Opportunity Audit take?

The target is under one week once prompt access to the complete agreed data pack is in place. Delayed, missing or materially inconsistent information may affect the date.

Do you implement the recommendations?

Implementation after an audit or review is agreed separately. The Operations & Systems Sprint is a hands-on package for one agreed workflow. You can also act internally or work with existing suppliers.

Can you guarantee a financial return?

No. I show the evidence, assumptions, level of confidence and a sensible way to measure what happens next. Results still depend on your market, data, decisions and implementation.

Will our data be confidential?

Client information is used for the agreed work and handled through the agreed workspace and access controls. Retention, deletion and processor terms are set out in the engagement documents and privacy notice.
