Hi, personaly i would not dream of renting a machine as it would be telling people anyone can clean thier own carpets. We are trying to sell an expert service. I could imagine there would be all sorts of problems regarding insurance, machine thieft and people making a mess of thier carpets then blaming you.
Regards Rob.

I did look into this but felt if I advertised I would be running round all over the place.
If I remember correctly the cash flow forcast is based on a rental income of £25 a day.
You can rent a rug doctor at homebase for less.
I did start hireing out my Commercial Rug Doctor but in honesty it caused me hazzle and spare parts are expensive when it breaks down

the machine costs about £1900.personally i was wondering how u could make your money back any time soon.

The hire market is a mine field,will take up a lot of time for a small rtn,and of course any dammage was "allready there" i had about 4 yrs in the rentall mkt back in the early 80,s, a pain i would not repeat
