Setting up a glamping business in Australia – how to get my plans financed?

There are a few things to consider when setting up and financing your glamping business in Australia. Offering glamping accommodation to your guests does not just simply involve “buying the tent”.

Do you need to install a water tank or solar power? Will you need to build a path/road for easy access for your customers?

Secondary income for farmers and seasonal industries

Farms, wineries, and restaurants - all of these industries are dependent on seasons; with success often being dictated by the weather.
