WHY DO IT?

Starting an Inflatable Rental Business can be a great part time endeavor or a fantastic full time business. 

Requiring a low initial investment, inflatable rental businesses provide a quick return on investment. With low overhead, maintenance for inflatables are minimal.


 Because inflatables deflate, very little room is required for storage which makes this a business that can be run out of your own home. Another huge benefit to the inflatable rental business is that it promotes itself adding organic word-of-mouth advertising to your marketing. 


But the very best and most important reason to start this business is that it brings children so much joy. The faces on kids when they see a huge bouncy house in their yard is priceless. It’s like bringing the carnival to their front door.

HOW MUCH $ CAN YOU MAKE?

$85 to $300 for an 8-hour period. Variations on price depend on the neighborhood, season and type and size of bouncy house or inflatable.


1 inflatable typically rents twice a week.


Assuming you rent for a reasonable amount of $100 per rental here is a chart showing approximations on how much you can make.
