The family business growing up was small engine and party rental.
My sister eventually started her own party rental business year later. And my cousins work for another party rental business.
Very hard to be successful. You need a lot of capital, and it takes a lot of time. Forget having weekends, you are working. Period. And not very profitable. If you are a solo person just getting some items to rent, not going to work.
One thing I used to do is rent out my camper. Actually worked really well. More than paid for itself, two, maybe three times over. But it's become very competitive these days as a ton of people do the same now. So a lot harder to get renters. But I have really enjoyed meeting the people and just being involved with people's fun time.
