This document summarizes Holiday Online, a startup that helps holiday home owners in rural and coastal UK list their properties and get more bookings. It seeks £200,000 in seed funding to expand into new areas, service existing property listings, and develop its platform. Holiday Online currently has over 80 property listings and 150 bookings, and projects rapid growth through local marketing and a centralized online platform to list properties across multiple booking sites. The funding will support customer acquisition, product development, and operations as it aims to list over 2,000 properties generating over £2 million in revenue within 3 years and facilitate a potential trade sale exit.

"Good service advertising our group of
properties saving much needed admin time" -
Mats Olsson
GroveFarmBarns
A large plot with cottages, shepherds' huts and
touring pitches. Were paying high commissions
with Hoseasons and not happy with service.
Trialed us with one shepherds hut and now
instructed us to take on their new site with
multiple properties.

"I'm so glad we have been using Norfolk
Holidays. Sham is a very pleasant person and is
extremely helpful. It is easy to get in touch with
the office and they sort any problems out quickly
and efficiently" - Lisa Hewitt
Mill FarmEcoBarn
Two high end barn conversions with excellent
website & social media presence. These tech
savvy but time poor owners asked us to assist
with their declining online bookings. We bolster
their existing bookings capability.

"As a first timer letting out my caravan, I chose
Norfolk Holiday to be my agent. So pleased I did
as I have had a number of bookings from them
resulting overall in a good first year. I have
recommended Norfolk Holiday to fellow caravan
owners and shall continue to do so. Thank you
so much!" - Lindsay Green
