Starting Your Own Rental Business

It's not a decision to make lightly, starting your own party rental business. This blog is designed to help you make the right decision and is also designed to help you understand all the ins and outs of this business.

When I started my party rental business, I did tons of research and found out what my community would support. I think that's part of what's important. Making sure you have equipment that will rent out and that will rent out at a decent rate.

The picture posted is of my first two units I purchased. These two units went out most every weekend my first year in business and went out every weekend my second year in business.

If you're considering doing only back yard birthday parties and smaller events, there is no need to spend the money getting a big slide. Focus your efforts on smaller items and combo units. Backyard parties will rent mostly bouncers and combo units. It would be wise to invest in themed units...those can be a bigger drawing card if your competitors don't carry themed units.

If you're hoping to do bigger events and community festivals and church events, you'll need to have at least one piece that is bigger than most. Like my slide you see pictured. It's a 20' tall Accelerator Slide and will be bigger than most of you competition's slides. That's unless you live in a major metropolitan area. Other big items to consider are obstacle courses, velcro walls, bungee runs and inflatable mazes. Those are all items that go well with big events.
