Bounce House Business

After renting a bounce house for Garrett's party we thought that might be a good business opportunity for us.  We drove a good distance to pick up the bounce house we rented for his party.  When researching our own rental we knew there wasn't anything like it in our area.  We have been brainstorming ways to earn a little extra money and this seemed like a fun way to do it.  We causally mentioned to several people that we thought about starting up a small business.  One family came to us and was very serious about doing it with us.  We got together and started to talk details and it all came together.  JJ and I would have done it eventually but going in with another family gave us the push to do it now.  There are several good things about going in with another family.  We each have our own strengths and it will also be nice to share the time commitment with them.  We have been working hard and learning a lot about starting up your own business.  We formed a LLC and got all the legal business documents we would need.  We made a website and bought a web domain along with creating a Facebook page.  We have been making flyer's, business cards, t-shirts and advertising on craigslist and local sell and swap pages.  We opened a business bank account and have been working on getting everything set up so we can accept credit cards through our phones.  We created leasing contracts and waivers and had a lawyer look over them.  The contracts should cover everything but we are also working on getting insurance.  We had the most fun picking out the bounce house.  We picked a fun palm tree house that has a large bounce area with two punching bags and a basketball hoop.  It also has two slides.  It is a large commercial grade bounce house and it's lots of fun!  We have had several people respond to our advertising and have already scheduled a few parties.  We hope to be able to have fun making a little money and someday possibly add some more bounce houses to our company.  We are excited to see how our small business adventure turns out!
