When you are first starting to organize your bounce house rental business, you will be looking at many different types of inflatables. Their sizes and shapes do vary.
The best way to start out is with about 3 units. This way you can offer some variety, but for some this may not be possible. It is perfectly O.K. to make the purchase of just one bounce house and grow your business from there.
So the question becomes, what is the best size? The best advice is to look at your target market. If your community is made up of houses on very small lots with small backyards, you might be better off with a 10 x 10 or a 13 x 13 inflatable.
A 15 x 15 will however provide you with much more versatility. You would be able to rent out a 15 x 15 to larger events. With larger events, they are not going to want the smaller bounce house, and you could lose that rental to your competition if you do not have a bigger unit.
The other thing to consider is that the bigger units will probably require you to have an assistant for the installation, and the smaller units will not.
