How to open a rental point

You probably remember how widespread rental points were in Soviet times. You could rent a lot - from a TV to furniture, for many people it was convenient. Nowadays, the income level has increased slightly and basically everything can be bought. As a last resort, dimensional and expensive things can be bought on credit. But still rental points exist today. You can rent movie discs, videos, a bicycle, a carnival costume, a wedding dress, or even a car.

So, you have a business idea - to open a rental point. Need to think what exactly you can offer people to rent? In fact, there are not many such items, but still they are.

For example, you can rent construction tools. Since they are usually not often used, it is not practical to buy tools for one-time use. Not only builders, but also individuals who are going to make repairs in the house will contact you for a construction tool.

It is also a good idea to rent children's things - for example, playpens, strollers, cribs. Children grow up quickly, so it’s much cheaper to rent baby items at a rental point than to buy them for a short time.

Another option is suitcase rental. Moving, business trips, traveling - all this happens in the lives of many people. But what if a person travels very rarely somewhere and does not want to spend extra money on a suitcase, which will then stand in a closet or gather dust on the mezzanines? Here in such a situation your rental point will come to the rescue.

If you have already decided on the things that you will rent, decided to open a rental point for various things, then you must first rent a room for their storage. In addition, you will need to invest in the purchase of rental items directly. If you want to open a rental point via the Internet, you should create your own website and consider the Internet promotion of your business.

Think over the prices for your services, the price you can specify in various advertisements. If prices, level of service, quality and choice of items will satisfy the needs of your customers, then your rental point will bring even more profit, and then you will need to expand your range.

It is especially important to draw up a contract correctly, which will clearly indicate the measures of responsibility for the damaged thing. The collateral value of things, a part of which must be returned after the delivery of rental items, must be levied without fail.
