Providing a customer-service-oriented demeanor when delivering and setting up the equipment helps you build your brand. Jupiterimages/Goodshoot/Getty Images Chair and table rentals are an essential aspect of the party-planning and entertainment industry. Small- and large-scale events, such as baby showers, birthday parties, weddings, meetings, conferences, family reunions and school reunions, require seating for guests. Event organizers and planners have to secure enough tables and chairs to suit the number of guests who plan to attend their functions. Since purchasing tables and chairs is costly, event planners and organizers turn to rental facilities. You can start a rental table and chair business and offer your rentals to local event planners. 1. Visit your local taxation office to register your rental table and chair business as a legal entity. Determine whether you need additional licenses or permits to operate a supply and equipment rental business in your state. 2. Select the target market you want to offer chair and table rental services to.
You can focus on bridal events, business functions or birthday parties and reunions. If your budget permits, you can offer a variety of furniture suitable for several types of events. 3. Decide how much you plan to charge for table and chair rentals and whether or not you'll set minimum and maximum quantities for rentals. Assess rental fees by the number of chairs and tables rented and the number of hours an individual or group reserves them. 4. Select a wholesale table and chair supplier and purchase a supply of chairs and tables to fit the target market you want to reach. Decide whether you want to purchase round, square or rectangular tables and whether you want the chairs with padding or not. Start with enough tables and chairs to seat 300 guests. 5. Purchase garage space or a store-front to hold the tables and chairs you purchase. Set up your location so that potential customers can visit your space and take a look at the types of chairs and tables they can rent from you. 6. Work with a lawyer to create a contract you can use with your chair and table rental clients.
The contract should indicate that you are renting chairs and tables to a group or individuals for an event they are hosting, provide the date of the event, the time the chairs will be picked up and returned and the cost. Include a liability clause to protect yourself and your business. 7. Register a website domain and web hosting with a company such as Yahoo!, Go Daddy, Blue Host or 1&1. Your domain name should be closely related to, or identical to, your business name. 8. Hire a graphic designer and a copy writer to help you create marketing materials for your chair and table rental business. You need a logo, a business card template, letterhead, a website and brochures. 9. Search locally for organizations related to the event planning industry, such as the Meeting Planners Association, International Special Events Society and The American Association of Certified Wedding Planners, as well as local chamber of commerce groups to join. Networking groups give you an opportunity to meet fellow business owners, who may be your target market, as well as individuals who may be able to refer your rental services in their networks.
10. Introduce yourself and your business to area businesses who offer complementary service,s such as event spaces, event planners, party supply stores, invitation designers, bakeries and caterers. You can work with them to cross-promote services and share referrals.
