Starting A Tent Rental Business.

Tent rentals are a profitable side-business that can easily grow into a large, full-time endeavor.

Tent rental businesses typically include:

Storage. Where will you store your equipment? Do you have a garage or large shed at your home? Or, will you have to rent a storage unit or garage?
Transportation. How will you deliver your items? Do you have a truck or trailer?
Labor. Tent packages include tents, tables, chairs, lights, linens and more. Will you try to do this all yourself or do you need labor help? Who will you use for labor?
Initial investment. New tent rental businesses typically include tents, tables, chairs, lighting and linens. We can help you choose the right equipment for you and your local market. Typical startup costs can be $5-$15k.

Start with small (20’ wide) tents doing backyard party rental packages (tents, tables, chairs, lighting, linens, games, etc)
Most new rental businesses are owner-operated. We firmly believe that the owner of the business needs to get their hands dirty and learn the business. As the owner, you can hire 1-2 helpers to reduce the physical nature of the job.
You should break even (or better) in year one. All of your equipment should last 5+ years minimum. You can pay off all your equipment and be very profitable quickly.
Most important factors in early success:
- website with strong SEO
- Google Ads campaign to start getting jobs in early stage of business
- customer reviews, referrals, word of mouth, networking
