Homebase for companies
Use it. Own it. Through your company.
A managed home on the Mediterranean your company can use for retreats, client hosting and team stays — and hold as an appreciating asset that earns when it’s idle. Lifestyle and balance sheet, in one.
Why companies do this
An asset that works on every front
Most company perks are pure cost. A Homebase property is different: it builds relationships, holds value, and earns income — all from the same asset.
An asset, not an expense
Premium real estate on the balance sheet, in markets built on scarcity and demand.
A magnet for people
Talent and clients remember how you host them. A private home says more than any boardroom.
Earns when idle
Rent the weeks you don’t use and turn downtime into yield, fully managed.
Zero operational load
Sourced, upgraded, furnished, licensed and run by the local team. One point of contact.
Four ways to use it
One home, many roles in your business
However your company uses it, the asset keeps working — and earns from rentals in between.
Accommodation
Company stays
Put up visiting staff, partners or new hires in a home that reflects your company — private and fully equipped, not another hotel.
Offsites & focus
Team stays & work
Strategy weeks, offsites and focus sprints where teams actually connect — fast WiFi, space to think, room to breathe.
Relationships
Client hosting
A private home on the Med builds the kind of trust deals are made on — and that competitors can’t match.
Ownership
Fractional property
Own a share — or the whole home — through your company. An appreciating asset that earns when the team isn’t there.
How it works
From decision to key-ready
Choose your share
From one eighth to full ownership, held through your company.
Made key-ready
The local destination team sources, upgrades, furnishes and licenses it to operate.
Use it or rent it
Your weeks for the team and clients; the rest is rented, fully managed.
Structured with your advisor
Ownership and use shaped to your company and tax position.
Clear on the rules
What your company can do. And what to watch.
Owning through a company opens real advantages — and a few hard rules. Here’s the honest version, so you go in with eyes open.
What it can do
- ✓Hold premium real estate as an appreciating balance-sheet asset.
- ✓Be used for genuine business — retreats, team stays, client hosting, visiting staff.
- ✓Earn rental income on the weeks the company doesn’t use.
- ✓Be owned as a fraction (from 1/8) or in full, through your company.
- ✓Be passed on later — the share trades on the secondary market.
What to watch
- !Private use isn’t free. In most countries it’s a taxable benefit — and in Denmark it’s taxed on availability, not just nights used.
- !Holding the keys centrally doesn’t remove that. Authorities look at the right to use, not who holds the key.
- !Some tax regimes require 100% business use, so a privately-used home won’t qualify (in Denmark, the VSO business-tax scheme).
- !Short holiday letting needs a tourist licence (ETV). Without one, the home lets mid-term only — 30 nights or more.
The clean way to use it privately
Book it at market rate through the same system as any guest — paid, logged, arm’s length. No keys, no special access. Use stays fair, and the tax position stays clean.
Under the hood
How use stays clean — and costs stay low.
No owner holds a key. Every stay — your company’s included — is booked through Homebase Booking at market rate, with check-in, ID, tourist tax and insurance handled and logged. That payment doesn’t come back to you: it flows into one operating account that pays the running costs, lowering the net every owner carries.
Structure & tax, in plain terms
Owned through your company, taxed once at the door.
Bought once, taxed once
Property transfer tax is paid a single time — when the company acquires the home. Not again each time a share moves.
Shares trade freely
Below a control threshold, transfers of shares don’t re-trigger property transfer tax — a real edge over selling a whole property.
Rental taxed at the corporate rate
Rental income — including paid company use — is taxed in the company that owns the home, at the local corporate rate.
Hold it through the company
For a home with any private use, a holding company is the clean route. Regimes that demand 100% business use don’t fit — such as Denmark’s VSO — and tend to bunch tax at exit.
Rules vary by country and this isn’t tax advice. We map your exact position with you and your advisor — and we go especially deep for Danish companies.

For business owners & investors
Company ownership, answered.
Can my company actually use the home, or is it only an investment?
Both. It’s a working asset — use it for retreats, team stays, client hosting and visiting staff, and let it earn rental income on the weeks you don’t. The balance is yours to set each year.
Is company or private use taxable?
Use of a company-owned home is generally a taxable benefit, and the rules vary by country — in Denmark it’s taxed on availability, not just nights used. The clean approach: book every stay at market rate through the system, so it’s arm’s length and documented. We map your exact position with your advisor.
How do the running costs work?
There’s one operating account. All income — external rental and paid company use — flows in and pays the shared costs (management, insurance, upkeep, tax). Each owner carries only their share of the net, so every paid stay lowers the bill for everyone.
Can we put it on the balance sheet and deduct costs?
It’s a real asset and sits on the balance sheet. Deductibility of costs depends on genuine business use and your local rules — something to confirm with your advisor, which we help you frame.
Why own a fraction instead of the whole property?
A fraction frees capital and spreads cost while still giving real use and full asset exposure. You can hold one eighth, several shares, or the entire home — through your company either way.
What happens when we want to exit?
Sell the share on the secondary market. Transfers are executed through the digital cap table with a standing authority to the administrator — no travel, no delay. Below a control threshold, a share sale doesn’t re-trigger property transfer tax.
Is VSO an option for a Danish company?
Not for a home with any private use — VSO requires the asset to be 100% business, and it bunches tax into the exit year. For mixed or private use, a holding company is the cleaner route.
Who runs it, and who handles compliance?
The local destination team sources, upgrades, licenses and runs the home. Booking, check-in, ID, tourist tax and insurance run through Homebase Booking; ownership and reporting sit in the cap table. One point of contact for you.
