    I started an event rental business 8 months ago

    @marissa23 Coming back to this just to say that I had almost 50 inquiries in November this year and so far in December I have 14 inquiries. People start planning weddings right now, and as per Jim at Recipi: people get engaged between Xmas and Valentine's Day more than any other time, and the...

    Restroom Trailer Rentals. A Truly Sh**y Sweaty Startup. :-)

    @lovedsecurefree I’ve seen these start to turn up at some of the wedding venues that I’ve delivered to. Lots of barn theme weddings in the midwest and many of them have very limited, if any, facilities. Great idea, but that’s a hard pass from me.

    New business

    @beana Honestly, it sounds like you're trying to specialize in 3 different things. I could see tying the power washing and painting in together, but when you add the junk removal aspect it sort of puts you into the All-over-the-board category. The only things that I can think of that might...

    I started an event rental business 8 months ago

    @marissa23 I’m telling you, talk to Jim at Recipi. His pricing is more than reasonable and his background (aside from HIS rental business) is doing SEO for major corporations. It takes a big bite off of your plate so that you can focus on the customer service side. Edit: so I bought a truck and...

    Mobile Bar Generator

    @nazeazeno I don’t own a bar, but I do have quite a few years as a small engine mechanic and I currently maintain a collection of generators for a construction company. I would buy a Honda 2200 watt suitcase generator. They’re very quiet, light, and small, and should be more than enough power...

    I started an event rental business 8 months ago

    @valsaex I honestly started this business to create tax write offs, so we’re looking to break even/take a small loss in year 1. Probably about $40k in revenue this year against $40k or so in start up costs. We’ll see what my accountant can do with all of it lol.

    I started an event rental business 8 months ago

    So as the title says, I started an event rental business in April of 2023 (www.woodburyeventrentals.com for anyone who is curious). We rent tables, chairs, linens, dance floors, and other core wedding/event items. As I come to the end of the year and I am looking back at how things have gone...

    How to finance a new Pole Fitness studio?

    @stephamore07 You really need to write a business plan. This will put together everything that you and your potential investors need to know about what it will cost to start, expand, and maintain the business as well as how long it will take to be profitable. They aren’t easy, but they are...

    Sweat of my brow

    @leafbyniggle Hello, fellow wrench turner. First, I completely understand wanting to get out of the industry. I run a two man shop for a construction company, and while I’m happy working there I no longer love fixing things, I only do it because it’s what I know how to do and I get paid well...
