Built for how businesses book

Country Manager, UK

“A corporate lease is only as good as how it’s managed. That starts with the right tenant, dynamic pricing, and occupancy optimised properly from day one, supported by real-time reporting so owners can see exactly how their property is performing”

In GuestReady, that comes from a team with local knowledge of the licensing and compliance landscape in every city we operate, and it shows up directly in the numbers behind our portfolio.

We manage corporate housing and business accommodation across the United Kingdom, Ireland, Portugal, Spain, France, and Dubai.

These markets have one thing in common: demand for corporate housing is growing across all of them, with the UK corporate housing industry alone growing at a 12.4% CAGR between 2021 and 2026.

Licensing and compliance are a different story. Rules vary from market to market, and corporate lets carry their own contracting requirements on top of standard short-let licensing.

Frequently asked questions

Service & markets

A corporate letting is a furnished property let to a business rather than an individual, usually housing employees who are travelling, relocating, or on assignment.

As corporate let specialists, GuestReady handles the full lifecycle: client acquisition and contract negotiation, tenant vetting, guest communication and stay management, maintenance and compliance, through to financial reporting and customised invoicing for property owners.

GuestReady manages corporate rentals ranging from a handful of properties to larger portfolios, from 5 to 100 units, with fully furnished apartments that work best in cities with strong business travel or relocation demand, ideally near business centres and transport links.

This includes serviced accommodation-style apartment buildings, which suit corporate lets just as well as they do shorter stays. The amenities that matter most to this segment are free, high-speed Wi-Fi throughout the unit and any common areas, a dedicated workspace, and flexible self-check-in.

Yes. GuestReady works directly with companies, relocation teams, and travelling professionals sourcing corporate housing. Reach out and we’ll route your enquiry accordingly, whether you’re arranging housing for one employee or a full team.

There’s no fixed minimum stay, with corporate lets covering everything from a few nights of business travel to a multi-month relocation, where longer stays are usually formalised under a lease.

Contracts are usually signed with the company rather than the individual guest, typically one of the features that sets a corporate let apart from a standard short-let booking.

GuestReady’s corporate letting operations cover major business centres across the United Kingdom, Ireland, Portugal, Spain, France, and Dubai, spanning 36+ cities, with a local team in each market who knows the licensing and compliance landscape, and room to expand into additional commercial markets as client needs grow.

Pricing & compliance

Pricing depends on which partnership model you choose, fixed rent, management commission, or hybrid, along with your property’s location and condition.

Get in touch for a quote specific to your property.

Through multi-channel distribution and AI-driven dynamic pricing that keep your occupancy strong, averaging around 85% across our portfolio. Because corporate lets typically run for longer stays, there are also fewer operational costs between tenancies.

On top of that, preventive maintenance and our own property standards help cut maintenance costs by around 35%, together supporting up to 31% higher rental returns than a standard short-let.

Yes. Our teams support the licensing process and manage regulatory compliance in every market we operate in, keeping each property aligned with current legislation. That covers the United Kingdom, Ireland, Portugal, Spain, France, and Dubai, each with its own rules for short- and mid-term let licensing.

We track legal changes as they happen and adjust our operational approach when needed, protecting your investment and keeping operations running smoothly.

Markets and compliance

GuestReady manages boutique hotels, aparthotels, guesthouses, and other flexible living solutions across the UK, Ireland, Dubai, Portugal, Spain, and France, with licensing and compliance requirements handled differently in each, since the rules rarely match from one market to the next.

Yes. Our teams support the licensing process and manage regulatory compliance in every market we operate in, keeping each property aligned with current legislation. That includes navigating rules like London’s 90-day cap on entire-home short lets, which can look very different from one market to the next. We track legal changes as they happen and adjust our operational approach when needed, protecting your investment and keeping operations running smoothly and compliant.
