Selling a guesthouse: prepare a clear information pack

Describe what you propose to offer

To prepare the sale of a guesthouse in Marrakech, first describe the items you want to present to a buyer: building, furniture, equipment, trading name or operating items. Mark each as proposed for inclusion, excluded or open for discussion. This records your intentions; it does not determine what can legally be transferred as part of a transaction.

• Have your advisers examine the proposed scope and supporting records.
• Keep advertisement wording consistent with the latest dossier version.

Separate the inventory from the sales presentation

Prepare a dated inventory by area, with item descriptions, quantities and stated condition. Distinguish items visible in photographs from those you propose to include. Keep available equipment records and identify missing documents. Do not present an old image as evidence of current condition. Record who can answer questions about anything that cannot currently be inspected.

• Reference the photographs and inventory date.
• Flag items whose ownership or availability still needs clarification.

Document activity without promising its future

Bpifrance describes a business-presentation dossier as a collection of prepared information and highlights confidentiality. That organisational principle is used here; French sale rules are not applied to Morocco. Present documented periods, available sources and unanswered questions separately when compiling booking, expense or works information for professional examination.

• Date the information and have its preparer explain the scope.
• Keep observed figures separate from the future operator’s plans and questions.

Organise questions and handover topics

Prepare a presentation version without unnecessary personal data and agree access arrangements for sensitive records with your advisers. Keep a log of documents shared and replies given. List questions about future bookings, digital accounts and day-to-day contacts without assuming they transfer automatically. The dossier prepares a discussion; it supplies no valuation, legal sale procedure or expected sale outcome for an individual guesthouse.
