I'd just like to thank Jac & Marie for the replies,(on the terms and conditions, even though it wasn't my question.) and anyone else ( I'm sure there was someone) i have found them so useful. I must admit i am getting a little worried now after spending time in another part of the Forum about the Tax and the insurances that we will have to pay I think! when we get going. I will be keeping accounts to the penny, keeping receipts for all outgoings, as i assume i will be able to set these off aginst the incomings as can be done here. Or have i got this Wrong? I had then intended to seek an English speaking accountant to point us in the right direction, as my French though good is not up to leagal or tax stuff. Anyway too late now we are on our way next month, so we will have to give it a go!!!!! Can anyone put my mind at rest? Many thanks Janet

Can i be really cheeky and ask for the details on Terms and conditions as well. We too will be joining you all next year, and already have enquiries for June/July. Also i am looking for information on an easy booking form? Can anyone help? We would also be interested in any information on web sites to advertise on. We are will have a Web site in December and were wondering if anyone could recomend who to Link to and if this is a good idea and is it expensive? you can tell we are pretty green at this, so any help would be apreciated. Thanks in advance Janet

We are in the process of buying a nearly! converted Farm complex which has almost been finished. We will still have to put in bathrooms, so we invisage being up and running next summer, the Gite at least. I asked of the Notaire, if we would need permission from the Mayor and commune to run the business, and was told that the B & B would be fine (3-7 rooms) but the Gite would need inspection. We also will live on site. Please does anyone know who inspects? And have you any other Hot Tips regarding the Laws and Taxes due. We will be in the Periguex area and we have also heard we can register for lower taxes as a small business? All help would be apreciated. Many thanks Dave & Janet
