START UP A RIDES AND AMUSEMENT HIRE BUSINESS
STEP1. PLANNING
Where to operate your amusements or rides Before committing yourself to starting an amusements or rides hire business
careful consideration has to be applied to who and where your customers will be,
your target age groups and where you are actually going to be able to legally
operate your amusements or rides business. Depending on size and space required,
each of the various amusements and rides on the market will have their
limitations to where they can be operated and this should also be taken into
consideration.
There are two main ways in which to operate
your amusement rides business depending mainly upon the type of amusement,
inflatable or ride that you are planning to purchase. Firstly owner operated
(wet hire), where the amusement or ride is continually supervised by the owner
or staff working for the owner. This works well at events, shows or permanent
positions such as high streets or shopping centres and has the benefit of making
liability insurance cover easier to obtain.
Secondly, hirer or customer operated (dry
hire) which is best suited if you plan to hire out small bouncy castles and
inflatable games, side show attractions etc to private hirers for children's
parties, corporate functions and some smaller events such as school fundays.
Particularly where the organiser is looking to operate the amusement and charge
per child. The downside is that (depending on the type of amusement) liability
insurance cover can be a lot harder to obtain.
Wet hire -
Amusements and equipment may be "wet hired" i.e. with the owner or staff
operating and manning the amusement or ride.
Dry hire - Amusements and equipment may be "dry hired" i.e. without
the owner or staff operating and manning the amusement or ride
