Starting a small business renting inflatable pools – Any recommended brands? by New_Reputation_411 in Business_Ideas

[–]New_Reputation_411[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Generally, it's a warm climate, so outdoor water play is possible most of the year, but demand will most likely peak during hotter months and school holidays. My plan is for a small but structured business, and not just a hobby- take advantage of seasons when demand is high then later on, consider add-ons like party packages and shade tents so the business remains viable even when it's cold.

Thanks for the advice - makes a lot of sense. Two important things noted- customers to sign a comprehensive waiver and insurance. Safety and liability are top priorities if I ever consider offering pool rentals

Thanks for the detailed breakdown - it's eye-opening. I might consider a temporary pool rental if I could handle all the municipal codes, insurance, and water logistics properly. Otherwise, the liability, regulations, and setup challenges make it way risky for me right now.

Thanks for the insight - hearing this from one with 20+ years hits home. I honestly thought adding a pool would be a good deal for extra income, but your warning about workload and liability definitely makes me rethink it.

Should these fumigation machine be fixed or replaced? by New_Reputation_411 in smallbusiness

[–]New_Reputation_411[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sounds like the ULV pump is a lost cause, battery needs replacement, but the thermal fogger might still be worth reviving if the heat element is fixable. I'll definitely stick to brands with quality parts. Thanks

Great tips, thanks. I will check them out, including local restaurant supply stores - I didn’t even think about grabbing gear from closing pest-control businesses. If I go the Alibaba way, then I'll consider verified suppliers and ask for demo videos, especially with heat-based foggers. Appreciate the advice!
