What about renting out Bouncy castles

Jonnytwotimes

Hi guys, Im gonna need to add another string to my bow and bouncy castles is an idea I've had for a while. Now would seem like a good time especially with spring & summer approaching.

I understand there will be insurance that has to be taken out etc. I have spoken to a few people a while back that did this and they did ok out of it. Once you get the booking, go around set it up and leave it for what ever time is agreed, then come back pack up job done, or you could also do boot fairs etc.

The outlay does not seem massive. Seems like you could get a good inflatable for around £500 and then your insurance etc on top. From what I can gather this can be recouped easily within one season.

Has anybody else who has done this able to offer any advice.

Hi we are thinking of expanding my facepainting/kids parties business with some bouncy castles.

Where have you seen them cheap, 2nd hand ones are ok but seams may not be good. We have found a place that will do them reasonable, looking about £900 but they come with free mats, free 12mth seam cover, free name and number put on them, and business plan and hire templeates, on the site he says they comply with council standards, heres a link, he does stand alones but there are start up sets usually with 2 castles in them for about £1200
