guys-
New to the forum, I own a small equipment sales and service business, I have been trying to put a business plan together to see where I stand. A little background, we sell Stihl, husqvarna, Honda, scag, bluebird, Ariens, wallenstein. I want to start small with landscaping equipment, home use, commercial compressors, pumps, generators, demo saws, snow blowers. I have run across some info on how to figure your rental rates, equipment turnover, rental agreements. As a small engine repair establishment it sounds like a no brainer to venture into equipment rentals. As there is one place in town that currently rents equipment and its old and not taken care of. My business has a great reputation in town and i believe there is room for growth. Any help with finding used equipment, pitfalls of the business, general knowledge, school of hard knocks stuff that would help me out would be much appreciated.
Thanks Kelly
