Overview
What this business looks like
Party rentals is a buy-once, rent-many business. You invest in items people need for events -- tables, chairs, canopies, speakers, bounce houses, yard games -- and rent them out for weekends. A $200 canopy rents for $50-75 per event and pays for itself in 3-4 rentals. After that, it is pure profit. Weekends are busy season, and summer is peak. Low time commitment because most of the work is delivery and pickup.
