START UP A RIDES AND AMUSEMENT HIRE BUSINESS |
STEP1. PLANNING |
|
|
 |
What's involved
To succeed today at starting an amusement hire business you need the best,
top quality, eye catching amusements or rides, a very professional dedicated
approach and most importantly be extremely safety conscious and aware of current
safety regulations. So often we see individuals start up an amusements hire
business with great intentions, full of enthusiasm and an attitude of "we know
it all" and for whatever reason they find it difficult to survive further than
12 months. |
|
|
| Although starting your own amusement or rides
hire business may look very affordable at the outset, don't be fooled by the
sometimes low initial start-up costs. Whether your amusements or rides cost £500
or £10,000 to purchase you will still have to find somewhere to operate it or
customers to hire it, be able to transport it to the event or venue, be prepared
physically to set up and operate your amusements. |
|
|
| A lot of individuals who start up their own
amusement or rides hire business are often unprepared for the fact that many
hire bookings are made for unsociable times which clash with their own personal
family commitments such as spouses days off, evenings and weekends. This can be
particularly the case if you intend to hire out smaller bouncy castles and
amusements best suited for small children's parties etc .So be prepared for a
lot of your work to be done during times that may clash with your existing
normal family life and routines. |
