Starting an Inflatable Business

Thinking of Starting an inflatable business? Here are some things to consider.

Whether you're just starting with inflatables or offering more party rental items, the start up is basically the same.

Owning a party rental company is a great experience. The party rental business is not only fun...it's profitable too! And actually the problem rarely that your company won't grow...the biggest problem is that if you aren't careful...you can grow too fast.

Here are a few of the questions you need to think about when starting an inflatable business.

1. Why would I want to start an Inflatable Rental Business?

Party Rentals are a great home based business with a low initial investment with extremely fast cash return.
Very low overhead...can start simply with a phone, some fliers and 1 piece of equipment.
It's great fun for the whole family!
Very little advertising costs...word of mouth is the biggest advertisement.
Great part-time starter business..keep your present job and grow as you desire.

2. What will I be doing?

Renting equipment for children's parties and special events. Start up equipment usually consists of moon bounces, spin art, temporary tatoos, carnival games, cotton candy or snowcone machines and themed party decorations.

3. How do I get started and what's the cost?

Set up your company. Talk to an account to check out the local business laws and make sure your business is set up correctly for accounting. Assume you're going to grow quite a bit. (It's a lot easier to act like a business from the beginning than backtrack later). Pick a name that's fun and exciting. Decide what kind of rentals you'd like to do...birthday parties, large events...or both! **hint..it's less expensive and easier to start with parties...once you get your feet wet you'll automatically grow to the bigger stuff. Don't forget to check on insurance. (Average ins costs are 900-1200.00 per unit per year). Talk to your inflatable sales person again and again if necessary. Learn all you can about the business. A good sales person will take the time to help you design your business.
