Overview
BnSellit Technology Inc. is a technology company that connects guests staying in a Short Term Rental (STR) property with items offered for sale or rent by STR owners and managers (Hosts). BnSellit links Hosts and Guests and enables Hosts to increase their income from STR and offer their Guests an enhanced experience which differentiates them from other STR offerings.
The Corporation was incorporated on February 4, 2021, since that date it purchased the IP in the BnSellit and BnBuyit app Platform from a related company RT7, obtained a listing on the CSE (CSE:BNSL) and has concentrated on Platform updates and enhancements, building a distribution network, signing agreements with partners to increase the reach of the Platform to potential Hosts and bolstering the internal team. At present, the Corporation has no current operating income but expects to start generating income over the next two quarters. The Corporation is in the process of marketing the Platforms to key target markets and is executing its targeted marketing plan aimed at key US states with the aim of onboarding Hosts before the important holiday period starts. The Corporation intends to finance its future requirements through a combination of operating income and equity issuance. There is no assurance that the Corporation will be able to obtain such financings or obtain them on favourable terms. These uncertainties may cast significant doubt on the Corporation’s ability to continue as a going concern. The Corporation will need to raise sufficient working capital to maintain operations.

Discussion of Operations for the period ended September 30, 2021
The Corporation was incorporated pursuant to the Business Corporations Act (Alberta) on February 4, 2021, with its head office located at 421-7th Avenue, SW, 30th Floor, Calgary, AB, T2P 4K9. The Corporation’s registered office is located at 210 – 2020 4 Street SW, Calgary, AB T2S 1W3. The Corporation’s first fiscal year end will be December 31, 2021. The Corporation’s activities have been focused on (i) completing the Private Placements, (ii) obtaining the listing on the CSE (CSE:BNSL), (iii) developing a business plan for the Platforms, (iv) developing and protecting its brand intellectual property, (v) and securing third party partners and distribution partners for the commercialization of the Platforms.
Since incorporation the Corporation has raised cash by issuing share capital through a series of private placements, it purchased the BnSellit e-Commerce Platform and listed on the CSE (CSE:BNSL). The Corporation has also signed partner agreements with a range of property management platform providers which will give BnSellit access to over 200,000 potential Hosts. The Corporation has also developed its business further during this period by building supply chain partnerships that allow Hosts to purchase ready made Marketplace kits that easily and attractively package items that the Host can sell to Guests. These kits can be purchased directly from the supplier through the app and are delivered directly to the Host address.
The Corporation has increased market awareness of the BnSellit app by attending targeted STR trade shows and demonstrating the app to attendees, by becoming a member of multiple vacation rental bodies and marketing to other group members and joining relevant social media groups and contributing to online discussion groups. The Corporation will continue in these marketing efforts, targeting specific geographical areas and demographics where we believe we will have the most success.
Using the BnSellit e-Commerce Platform, Hosts can easily and quickly post and manage items for sale or rent at a specific location. These are items that a Guest can purchase and use during their stay or take home with them when they leave. The BnSellit e-Commerce Platform has a unique person-to-person built-in communication system linking Hosts and Guests together to answer questions about products and services and to facilitate completing a purchase or rental transaction.
Each Host is provided with a unique Host ID when they register which links inventory for sale or rent at the location to the Guest. The unique Host ID is displayed on signage and instructional documents provided by BnSellit at a Host’s Location. Typically, a Host would inform the Guest that they are a BnSellit Host and provide instructions in advance of their stay through the email communications that accompany the rental confirmation. These instructions would include a summary of items for sale or rent, links to downloading the BnBuyit App from the IOS App Store or Google Play Store and the Host’s unique Host ID. In addition to the advance email, when Guests arrive at the property they are presented with signage and instructions strategically placed by the Hosts notifying the Guests of specific items for sale

or rent at the location, how to download the BnBuyit App and how to purchase or rent the items.
BnBuyIt is the companion app to BnSellit and allows the Guest to explore items the Host has posted for sale or rent at the location by using the unique Host ID. The Guest can easily view, purchase or rent the items with the BnBuyIt App using their debit or credit card. A single BnBuyit App installed on a Guest’s mobile device provides access, through the Unique Host ID, to thousands of participating BnSellit Host locations.
The BnSellit e-Commerce Platform allows Hosts to organize inventory in four main categories:
-
General merchandise – Items which a Guest can purchase and take away with them when they leave the rental, examples include artwork, souvenirs, antiques, a music collection, clothing, furniture and much more.
-
The mini-bar – This section allows a Host to offer drinks, snacks, toiletries, phone chargers, fruit, pre-made meals and items typically offered in high-end hotel room mini bars. The Marketplace Kits that have been developed quickly and easily allow Hosts to populate their minibar and they are free to personalize items as they see fit.
-
Meals – Food items (frozen pizzas, hot dogs, ice creams, single serve cereals, etc.) that are stored in cupboards, refrigerators and freezers at a Host location.
For rent – This section allows a Host to post items that a Guest can rent and use for the duration of their stay. These items can include bikes, golf clubs, snow boards, scooters, kayaks, access to a fitness center or club house, etc. Once a Guest completes their rental purchase, a ‘Use Code’ or combination lock code and instructions are automatically sent to the Guest in the BnBuyit App. The rental category is a single use rental fee for the duration of the Guest's stay.
The BnSellit e-Commerce Platform includes everything from real time payment processing integrations, inventory control, Guest management and support, Host management and support, performance reporting and real time in app Guest to Host Chat/Phone communications. BnSellit offers a one-stop-shop for Hosts that creates multiple revenue opportunities with each and every Guest visit while offering the Guest a richer and more rewarding experience.

-
Alltherooms

Critical Accounting Estimates and Policies
The Corporation’s significant accounting policies and the adoption of new accounting policies are disclosed, as applicable, in the audited financial statements for the period ended September 30, 2021.
Risk and Uncertainties
The Corporation has a limited history of existence. There can be no assurance that the limited amount of cash raised from the previous Private Placements will be sufficient to successfully transition the Corporation into a full operating company which will lead to sufficient revenue to produce positive income. There can be no assurance that the Corporation will be able to obtain adequate financing to continue if the current cash is not sufficient. The securities of the Corporation should be considered a highly speculative investment. The following risk factors should be given special consideration when evaluating an investment in any of the Corporation's securities:
-
The Corporation currently has no sources of revenue;
-
The Corporation does not have a history of earnings, nor has it paid any dividends and will not pay dividends until at least after it achieves profitability and is authorized by the Board of Directors;
The Corporation has only limited funds with which to launch its operations in an effort to produce revenue;
- The current economic environment and pandemic situation introduces additional uncertainty.
