Resort Business Opportunities Launches "Community Portal"

Nov. 11, 2010 - PRLog -- Resort Business Opportunities (RBO), the only online venue exclusively dedicated to help people buy or sell a business in a resort or vacation market has added a great new collection of useful resources to its website. As a natural extension to their online listing services, their "Community Portal,"  http://go-rbo.com/community, is designed to help those people who are considering making the leap out of the everyday and realizing their ideal lifestyle.  "Our goal is to go well beyond being just a place to identify exciting business opportunities in great mountain, ski, beach or lake towns," says co-founder Brian Lantzy, "we really aim to help the prospective resort area business owner understand the nuances of buying a business in a resort town, operating that business, and living in those types of communities."

"Anyone who has run a business or even just lived in a resort town can tell you that the business environment, as well as day to day living is, well, different," continues Lantzy. "The
dramatic seasonal variations, the transitory nature of the workforce, and the geographical constraints can effect what would be considered normal business operations. In terms of living in a resort or vacation area, access to educational, cultural, transportation and even childcare services can be limited. We want to help people make well-informed decisions before they buy a business and relocate to a resort town. Their are so many things to weigh when choosing the right business and location- most people have never made such a big move- and there are many considerations which never cross peoples minds."

The Resort Business Community Portal contains links to myriad resources for the resort destination business buyer. Their Blog, http://go-rbo.com/resort-area-business-blog, provides first-hand advice from people who own businesses in resort areas. The Relevant Articles page, http://go-rbo.com/resort-business-relevant-articles, contains articles sourced from the mainstream media, e-zines, forums, blogs and industry publications. Another page offers links to the above media sites as well as industry associations and real estate brokers who specialize in resort area businesses for sale. "If you want to find information on how to buy an RV park and campground, operate a B&B, value a marina for sale, or just relocate to a ski town, our site is the only place that aggregates and categorizes this type of information," says Lantzy.

RBO currently has over 250 business for sale listings in resort and vacation areas around the country. They have also partnered with leaders in the RV park and campground, marina, outdoor recreation, and lodging industries to help showcase business opportunities and provide insight into the resort business environment and lifestyle.
