FAQ

Find answers to the most common questions about starting a home-based event rental business — from startup costs and services to marketing support, operations, and profitability.
Do I need prior experience to start an event rental business?

No. You do not need any prior experience in the event industry to get started.

PartyBox provides structured, hands-on training covering balloon decoration, inflatable rentals, photo booth operations, kids entertainment, and overall event execution.

We guide you step by step—from setup and teardown to customer communication and pricing—so even first-time business owners can confidently operate their own event company.

No. This is not a franchise.

PartyBox does not charge ongoing royalties, commissions, or revenue shares.

We provide business setup support, required equipment, hands-on training, website setup, and marketing systems to help you generate traffic and bookings.

However, once your business is launched, all revenue is yours.

Aside from the initial setup fee and equipment cost, PartyBox does not take a percentage of your sales or ongoing commissions.

This model gives you full ownership and control of your business, while still benefiting from a proven system, professional setup, and launch support—without the restrictions or fees of a traditional franchise.

PartyBox uses a hybrid training approach to ensure you receive the most effective and practical training possible.

Training that can be done online—such as systems overview, booking workflows, pricing structure, and basic operations—is delivered remotely to save time and allow for flexible scheduling.

For everything that requires hands-on experience, our team travels to your location and provides in-person, on-site training. This includes equipment setup and breakdown, safety procedures, installation techniques, customer flow, and real event execution.

Overall, you receive 4–5 days of hands-on, in-person training, combined with online sessions where appropriate, so you are fully prepared to operate your event business with confidence from day one.

PartyBox business owners can offer one or multiple services, including:

  • Balloon Decoration
  • Inflatable Rentals (bounce houses, obstacle courses, games and more)
  • Photo Booth Rentals
  • Kids Entertainment (face painting, balloon twisting, Airbrush Tattoo & Caricatures)
  • Event Props Rentals
  • Event Food Machines (cotton candy and more)

You can start with a single service and expand your offerings as your business grows.

No. Marketing is supported by PartyBox.

We assist with website creation, marketing setup, brand positioning, and booking systems, so you’re not starting from scratch.

This includes guidance and support for your online presence, local visibility, lead flow, and booking structure, allowing you to focus on delivering great events while PartyBox supports the marketing side of your business.

Yes. Most small-scale events can be operated by a single owner or a very small team.

This model is specifically designed so you can start as a one-person event business, without hiring full-time employees.

When needed, we also train you on how to use short-term, event-based staff only, so you avoid ongoing payroll while still handling larger events efficiently.

Territory availability is reviewed on a case-by-case basis.

We work to avoid market overlap and assess opportunities based on local demand, population size, and service coverage.

Event rental businesses are known for strong profit margins and repeat bookings.

Demand comes from birthdays, schools, community events, corporate activations, and seasonal celebrations throughout the year.

Many owners generate consistent income by operating primarily on weekends, making this an attractive business for flexibility and scalability.
