Looking for hands on business partner / investor in South East Asia
Business Partners
Hi I have a dual background - QA / Process Improvement but I have always loved working in the hospitality realm too so I have always kept one toe dipped in that realm so to speak.
Im looking to make that leap full time into the hospitality realm and as two (or more) heads are better than one I seeking like minded partners that are willing to invest and also be hands on.
Having worked in China, Hong Kong and the Philippines I fully understand the need to cover ones ass legally as well as needing to have a trusted local on board as well.
At the moment Im developing the concept (but given Im Irish with Australian citizenship it will stem from this) but it will be centered around providing guests with a warm welcome and a "home away from home" feeling, great service, and depending on the location great, cheap food and drinks.
Anyone interested in joining me feel free to PM me and we take it from there.

Hi Maria,
I would be interested in getting involved in your project. If you could give me more details?
I have recently opened a hostel just this year called FunkNBunk Hostel Budapest, it was an immense success and we broke even after just 3 months. However, unfortunately the neighbours managed to shut us down after 4 months of operation.
Best
