Owning a bounce house business is so much fun. An inflatable business isn’t just fun, it’s profitable too! And unlike other businesses…growing too fast is a bigger concern than not growing at all. Every time you set up one of your bounce houses, it will be its own advertisement. There aren’t very many businesses that can offer that!
Here are a few of the questions you need to think about when starting a bounce house biz.
- Why would I want to start a bounce house business?
Inflatable rentals have a very low overhead. You can start simply with a phone, some fliers and 1 piece of equipment. Although you’ll be working mainly weekends, should you decide you want to take time off, you just clear your schedule and don’t book any parties during that time.
- How to I get Started?
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 alot 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!
Once you’ve decided what pieces of equipment you’re starting with…Place your order! Most pieces take 3-4 weeks for delivery unless they’re in stock.
- Who are my Customers?
Birthday parties, church events, family reunions, post prom parties, summer camps, corporate picnics
