Glamping structure financing

Simple financing support with no deposit, collateral, or interest payments.

We understand that financing can be a major hurdle in starting a new business. That's why we created an alternative to eliminate traditional finance hassles for your glamping structures with transparent revenue share terms that are tailored to your individual needs.

How does Branch Out’s glamping financing work?

Branch Out Ventures gets you set up with structures and furnishings using a risk-free revenue share arrangement, as opposed to a traditional bank loan which is hard to get, requires a down payment, collateral like putting up your home mortgage, and rigid principles and interest payments. We also include our expert marketing, distribution, reservation, and account management services to promote your new glamping site.

We take a collaborative approach to financing. We secure the funding and carry the risk so you don’t have to. With our revenue share financing model, you are free to use your existing capital to make infrastructure improvements, and you can continue to manage your business effectively, under your own brand, and without risk.

We partner with you to deliver an exceptional glamping site that beautifully integrates with the surrounding nature, taps in to your unique brand, and gives a high return on investment. With sustainability and hotel-quality comfort in mind, we’ll help you to create a thoughtful design that will turn your first glampers in to life long guests.

FAQs

What is glamping?

Glamping is an experience surrounded by nature, it’s waking up next to a mountain in a luxury bell tent, cozy in a warm queen-size bed, with a hot cup of coffee. It’s spending the day exploring a national park and coming back to a beautiful glamping dome with a hot tub to relax and watch the sunset.

Glamping is a nature-based travel experience that combines hotel quality comfort, unique vacation rentals, and outdoor adventure activities.

Do I qualify?

From current and future glamping-site owners to hoteliers looking to open their doors to new development opportunities, we’re here to help guide you every step of the way.

Ideal candidates for the program have a minimum of 10 acres, are within three hours of a major city, are close to national or state parks or other outdoor recreation and attractions, and have proper permitting to allow glamping on their land.

How much does it cost to set up a glamping site?

There are no upfront costs to be part of the program. We finance the units and furniture, along with providing digital marketing, distribution, reservation management, rate optimization, and account management services utilizing a revenue share agreement.

You will need to take care of any additional costs from permitting & zoning, landscaping, waste management, additional amenities, and decor. We can provide advice and guidance on these areas, but the total cost will vary, depending on your needs.

How is the revenue share calculated?

Because glamping is all about creating a unique experience, no two glamping resorts are the same, so each contract is bespoke to our client’s specific needs.

Factors that influence your contract length and percentage of revenue share:

  • Your forecasted ADR

  • Your location & onsite amenities

  • Type of units

  • Seasonality of your business

  • Proximity to major attractions, state and national parks

Do you help with marketing and reservation management too?
Do I need any special permitting to start a glamping business?

Permitting and zoning requirements vary greatly from one local jurisdiction to the next. You will need to check with your local permitting and zoning department and comply with their requirements.

Get in touch for help with permitting and zoning for glamping businesses and we can point you in the right direction.
