How to List Studio Space on Findr
Findr is a UK venue marketplace where studio owners and property holders list creative spaces, studios, and event venues to renters for free, earning commission only on completed bookings.
Who Can List on Findr
Findr welcomes property owners, studio operators, and space holders who want to earn from underused rooms or spaces. Whether you own a photography studio, music rehearsal room, meeting space, event hall, or creative workshop, you can list it on Findr. All hosts must pass Stripe KYC (Know Your Customer) verification and MRVL approval before their listing goes live. There are no upfront listing fees. Findr takes a commission only when a renter completes a booking through the platform.
Getting Started as a Host
Sign up for Findr as a host and complete the Stripe Connect Express onboarding. This handles identity verification and payment setup in one step. Once you've passed KYC and received MRVL approval, you can start creating listings. The Free Host plan allows 1 active listing. If you manage multiple spaces, upgrade to Host Pro (up to 10 listings) or Business (unlimited listings). Each listing needs clear photos, availability calendar, and booking terms so renters can find and book your space quickly.
How Renters Find Your Space
Free renters browse Findr for studios and event spaces using basic search filters. Plus and Pro tier renters unlock AI-powered, natural-language venue search and advanced filters, which helps them discover spaces that match specific needs. This means a photographer can search 'white-walled studio near London Bridge' or an event organiser can filter by capacity and amenities. Better discoverability benefits you as a host, because more targeted searches lead to bookings from renters who genuinely need your space.
Booking and Payment Flow
When a renter finds your studio, they can either send a booking request or use Instant Book if you've enabled it on your listing. Booking requests let you approve or decline based on your calendar and house rules. Once a booking is confirmed, Findr handles the transaction through Stripe. You receive payment minus Findr's commission split. Communication between host and renter happens in-app, keeping all details organised. Your calendar syncs across the platform, preventing double bookings.
Why List on Findr Instead of Other Platforms
Findr is purpose-built for short-term creative and event spaces, not holiday homes or hotels. The audience is freelancers, creatives, and event organisers actively looking for studios, meeting rooms, and purpose-built venues. You pay nothing upfront to list. The host approval process ensures quality listings, which protects both you and renters. In-app messaging and calendar tools keep hosting simple. If you also want to track enquiries and manage multiple bookings across channels, tools like Konnect for Business can complement your Findr listings by centralising client communication.
Commission Structure and Earnings
Findr charges a booking commission split rather than a listing fee. The exact commission percentage appears in your host dashboard after signup. You only pay when a booking is completed, so there's no cost for inactive listings or failed negotiations. This means your earnings depend directly on the number of confirmed bookings your space receives. Reliable availability, clear photos, and competitive pricing attract more renters and generate more commissions.
