F.A.Q
What profiles can join the YourHostHelper brand license?
All profiles are welcome! Whether you're changing careers, already working in real estate or concierge services, or simply passionate about entrepreneurship, no previous experience is required. Our comprehensive training will get you up and running quickly.
How much can I earn as a YourHostHelper licensee?
Your commission is 20% of the rental income generated. The larger your portfolio, the higher your income. With just 20 properties under management in an average city, you can aim for between €3,000 and €5,000 per month. Use our simulator above to estimate your potential in your city.
Can I freely choose my city of residence?
Yes. You freely select three postal codes in France, typically in nearby towns or districts where you will be active on a daily basis. These areas are not exclusive: you retain complete freedom to develop your business elsewhere. In exchange, YourHostHelper exclusively provides you with proprietary leads corresponding to your postal codes—never shared with other licensees.
For what duration is the trademark license granted?
YourHostHelper grants you a brand license for a period of one year, automatically renewed on the anniversary date. Therefore, entering into the YourHostHelper license agreement obligates you to fulfill your commitments for a minimum period of one year.
What training will I receive?
YourHostHelper provides free training on all aspects of the profession: reservation management, rate optimization, customer relations, channel manager usage, regulations, digital marketing, etc. The training combines theory and practice for immediate implementation.
How will I find my first clients?
From the moment you join, YourHostHelper ensures you receive qualified leads from interested owners in your area. At the same time, we train you in local prospecting techniques to independently grow your portfolio and provide you with ready-to-print/distribute marketing materials.
What tools are available to me?
You get access to our professional channel manager for €19 (including VAT) per property per month, communication tools, contract templates, and ongoing support. Everything is designed to make your day-to-day operations easier.
Are there any entry or franchise fees?
The brand license agreement is not a franchise and there is no entry fee. Only a monthly fee of €199,00 (including VAT) is required to join the brand license, and this fee is payable monthly. Please note that you will need to budget for the costs associated with setting up your business (depending on the legal structure chosen and if this hasn't already been done) and running your business (linens, consumables, etc.). These costs can be spread out as your business develops. YourHostHelper also gives you access to its network of service providers/suppliers to obtain preferential rates.
How much is the monthly fee?
The monthly fee you will pay to YourhostHelper for the brand license is €199,00 including VAT. In addition to this fixed fee, there are software costs of €19,00 including VAT per month per property connected to the channel manager. For example, if you manage 5 properties with full management, you will pay YourHostHelper €199 (fixed fee) + 5 x €19 (5 properties at €19 each), for a total of €294 including VAT.
Am I really independent?
Yes, you retain your complete legal and decision-making independence. You are neither an employee nor a franchisee. YourHostHelper supports you by providing branding, tools, training, and prospecting solutions.
Is the market really buoyant?
The vacation rental sector has experienced average annual growth of +14% over the past three years. Owners are increasingly seeking professional support to maximize their revenue and delegate day-to-day management.
What legal status should I have?
The self-employed (micro-enterprise) status is often the most suitable for starting out. Very quickly, you will need to consider moving to other statuses depending on your involvement and development.
