Company history/background
The company, established in the early 2000s, is located in the northernmost part of Sweden—renowned as the best location to experience the Northern Lights. The hotel provides rooms and apartments with self-catering options, complemented by a variety of seasonal activities.
The property is in excellent condition, with regular renovations and careful maintenance. Significant recent investments have been made in wet rooms, bathrooms, and toilets. These improvements have been expensed directly, impacting the financial results.
Company activities
The guesthouse offers clean and modern accommodations as well as a range of seasonal activities. These are organized both in-house and in collaboration with local companies. The activities can be summarized as follows:
- Mid-June to August/September (Peak Season): Midnight sun, hiking, photography, fishing, road trips—mainly attracting Scandinavian and European visitors.
- September to April: With darker and colder conditions, more Asian and American visitors arrive for the Northern Lights. Later in the season, skiing and mountain tourism become prominent.
- April/May: Initially popular among Finnish snowmobile enthusiasts, transitioning to a quieter period as snow begins to melt.
Unique selling points
- Right of Public Access: Visitors can explore the surroundings freely.
- Silence: At times, it’s so peaceful you can “hear the silence.”
- Midnight Sun (June-July): The sun remains visible through the night from unique angles.
- Northern Lights: Recognized as the best location globally for experiencing the Northern Lights.
- Exceptional Nature: Stunning landscapes and untouched wilderness.
Additional Information
- The experienced staff on-site can operate the business independently, requiring minimal owner involvement.
- Low staff turnover ensures continuity and reliability.
- The ideal buyer would build on the existing team’s dedication while focusing on attracting new European customers.
Other
Reason for Sale
The owner, who has been living abroad for several years, finds it increasingly difficult to manage travel between their current location and the business. With the business being largely self-sufficient, the time is right to pass it on to a new owner.
