Start a party rental business

To start a party rental business, choose a small range people need for most parties, such as tables, chairs and tents, find storage and a vehicle to deliver it, and check insurance and set-up safety. Then show what is free on each date and take bookings with the address and delivery times.

How to start a party rental business

  1. 1

    Start with the basics

    Tables and chairs are needed at most parties. Add tents and decor later.

  2. 2

    Find storage and transport

    A garage or unit and a van big enough for a full order.

  3. 3

    Track stock by date

    You can only rent what is not already out that weekend.

  4. 4

    Charge for delivery and set-up

    Delivery zones and set-up times keep the weekend workable.

  5. 5

    Clean and check after every hire

    Damaged or dirty items lose the next booking.

Questions about starting a party rental business

What should a party rental business start with?
Items almost every party needs, such as tables and chairs, then tents and decor once you know what customers ask for.
Do I need insurance to rent party equipment?
Liability insurance is common, especially for tents and anything that could injure a guest. Check what venues and your area require.
