1) From reading the website, it seems that hoffice is not profit oriented. There is no money involved. People host events because they want to meet people, not because they want to make a profit.
2) I think you are overthinking the security aspect. It's like hosting a party; you don't check the identities of acquaintances that people bring along, and usually nobody steals your jewellery.

I needed it to generate at least minimal income to justify any time I spent on it, even just weekends here and there. 2. Hmm... maaaaybe. As someone who needs professional indemnity insurance for my work, perhaps my Spidey-senses are set too tingly for this risk. To test your analogy: would you be happy running a hobby business that facilitates parties, without understanding insurance aspects? I'd hate to get the phone call "So I used your service to organise a party, and now my house is trashed." :) Silly perhaps, just testing the edge-cases.
- kardos 11y agoBoth Uber and Airbnb exist and are raking in cash (or at least funding). Whatever they did to solve your original #2 problem is the answer.
