How to Become a Space Rental Host on Findr
To become a space rental host on Findr, you list your studio, hall, meeting room, or event space after completing Stripe identity verification and MRVL approval. You pay no listing fees; Findr takes a commission split only when you receive a booking.
Who Can Host on Findr
Findr is a UK venue-booking marketplace for creative and event spaces. If you own or manage a studio, photography venue, meeting room, hall, or event space, you can host. Property owners, creative professionals, and entrepreneurs with available square footage are ideal candidates. Your space must be a short-term bookable venue, not a residential property. Findr is purpose-built for spaces rented by the hour or day to creatives, freelancers, and event organisers, not as overnight accommodation.
The Host Approval Process
Hosting on Findr requires two steps. First, you complete Stripe Connect Express KYC (Know Your Customer), which verifies your identity and banking details so payments can reach your account. Second, MRVL reviews your space listing to ensure it meets Findr's standards. Once approved, your listing goes live and renters can request bookings or book instantly if you enable that feature. The approval process protects both hosts and renters by vetting spaces upfront. As of June 2026, new hosts can expect approval within a few business days.
Listing Tiers and What You Get
Findr offers three hosting tiers. Free Host lets you list one active space at no cost. Host Pro increases your limit to ten listings, ideal if you manage multiple venues. Business tier unlocks unlimited listings for agencies or portfolio operators. All tiers enjoy free listing, in-app messaging with renters, and calendar sync so your bookings stay organised. You only pay when a booking completes; Findr takes a commission split from that transaction. No upfront fees, no monthly subscription, no listing costs. Hosts keep the rest.
How Bookings and Payments Work
Once your space is live, renters browse on Findr for free and either request a booking or book instantly if you enable that option. You receive notifications of new requests in-app and can accept, counter-offer, or decline. When a booking is confirmed, the renter's payment goes through Findr to your Stripe account. Findr deducts its commission and deposits your earnings to you. Calendar sync keeps your available slots updated across the platform. You control your pricing, availability, and booking terms entirely.
Getting Started as a Host
Download Findr on iOS or Android, sign up, and navigate to the Host section. Fill in your space details, upload high-quality photos, set your hourly or daily rates, and define your availability in the calendar. Complete Stripe KYC; this is a secure, legal requirement to receive payouts. Submit your listing for MRVL approval. While you wait, finish filling in details like house rules, amenities, and cancellation policy. Once approved, your space will appear in renters' search results and you can start receiving bookings. The faster and more detailed your listing, the more likely renters will book.
