Simply start by purchasing good-quality commercial-grade power tools, design an information brochure listing tool descriptions, and indicate day and weekly rental rates. The rental price list can be distributed to local construction and renovation companies.

The entire business can be conducted right from a delivery truck with the assistance of a cellular phone for incoming rental inquiries.
