Commercial Space Rental Host Registration on Findr
Findr is a UK venue-booking marketplace where property owners and space managers register to list studios, halls, meeting rooms, and event spaces for short-term rental. Hosts list for free after Stripe KYC verification and MRVL approval, then earn commission on each booking.
Who Can Register as a Findr Host
Anyone with a commercial or creative space in the UK can register. This includes studio owners, property managers, entrepreneurs with spare rooms, and event venue operators. Findr is built for spaces used by creatives, freelancers, event organisers, and small businesses needing flexible short-term bookings - not residential holiday lets. During registration, you'll complete Stripe Connect Express KYC (Know Your Customer) checks. Once approved by the MRVL team, your listing goes live and renters can start booking.
The Registration Process
Start by downloading Findr and creating a host account. You'll provide basic business details and connect your Stripe account for payments. Stripe handles identity verification and financial checks to comply with UK regulations. After Stripe confirms you, MRVL reviews your space and listing details. This approval step ensures quality and trust across the marketplace. Once approved, you can publish your listing and begin accepting bookings immediately. The entire process typically takes a few working days.
Pricing and Listing Limits for Hosts
Findr charges no upfront listing fee. Instead, the platform takes a commission on each successful booking. You keep the rest of the rental income. Hosts can choose from three tiers. The free tier allows one active listing. Host Pro tier unlocks up to 10 listings, ideal for managers with multiple spaces. The Business tier offers unlimited listings for large-scale operators. All tiers include in-app messaging with renters, calendar sync, and booking management tools. As of June 2026, all host sign-ups benefit from the same approval pathway and commission structure.
Stripe KYC and Approval Requirements
Stripe KYC is mandatory for all hosts. This protects both you and renters by verifying identity and bank account ownership. You'll need a UK bank account and valid ID. The process is straightforward and takes minutes. After Stripe confirms your identity, MRVL reviews your space listing to ensure it matches the Findr marketplace (short-term creative, event, and business use). Hosts who do not pass Stripe KYC or MRVL approval cannot publish their listing. If your application is declined, Findr support can explain why and advise next steps.
Managing Bookings and Payments
Once live, renters can browse your space, send booking requests, or use Instant Book (if you enable it on the Pro tier). All communication happens in-app. You receive payment via Stripe Connect to your linked bank account after each booking is confirmed. Findr handles the commission deduction automatically. Your calendar syncs to prevent double-bookings, and you can set availability, pricing, and house rules directly in the app. For event organisers and freelancers needing studio or meeting room space, Findr also offers a renter-side experience with free browsing and advanced search features.

Frequently asked questions
Do I need a business bank account to register as a Findr host?
No, a personal UK bank account linked to your business is sufficient. Stripe will verify ownership during KYC. If you're a sole trader, your personal account works fine.
How long does host approval take on Findr?
Stripe identity checks typically complete within minutes. MRVL approval of your listing usually takes one to three working days. You'll be notified by email once your space is live.
Can I list multiple spaces on Findr?
Yes, with Host Pro or Business tiers. The free host tier allows one active listing; Host Pro supports up to 10; Business tier is unlimited. Upgrade anytime in the app.
What spaces can I list on Findr?
Findr accepts studios, photography venues, halls, meeting rooms, event spaces, and other short-term creative and business spaces. Residential holiday lets and hotel rooms do not fit the marketplace.
How does Findr make money from my bookings?
