TWO BRANDS ONE GREAT FRANCHISE OPPORTUNITY

How We Got Started

Chris Clark a long time contractor, frustrated with the traditional rental experience, founded TheRentalGuys.Ca/HardHatRentals.Com In 2013. He knew there had to be a better way. His vision was for an easy online ordering solution that would save every contractor time and money as well as completely eliminate the stress and complexity of the traditional rental process. What he found once his new venture was up and running was truly exciting not only were his customers impressed with his new way of doing business, they also wanted to be a part of it. This is what lead him to launch the most exciting opportunity in todays franchise world TheRentalGuys.Ca/HardHatRentals.Com. As a follow up In 2018 Chris founded HardHatRentals.com the USA franchise brand that would allow the expansion of this great concept to the south.

We have two very separate customer bases (contractors as well as homeowners) and are able to provide multiple products and services to both groups. You are able to start this business with no employees other than yourself, which can relieve a lot of pressure off yourself and your new business in your first few months.

Creating the Solution

As a contractor renting equipment on a regular basis, Chris recognized the problems with the rental industry better than anyone. He knew that creating solutions to these problems would not be easy and would only be possible by looking at the industry in new ways. The breakthrough moment came when he applied the latest online tools and custom software to the rental process.

The first breakthrough came in the form of online 24/7 booking for customers; contractors and homeowners alike loved this feature because it allowed them to complete their booking at the time that worked best for them even if it was outside of regular business hours. The next big step was having customers pay for their rental at the time of booking. This would alleviate a lot of the administrative work that was being done in an office. It also had the effect of getting rid of any receivables, thus improving cash flow.

Next was inventory control. Again, looking at this problem from the outside in, he realized that not only would he need to know what equipment was available when, but this would also be very valuable information for his customers (also this would help with all of the phone calls from customers wanting to know if something was available) so he added online availability calendars to all of the equipment. At this point, from the customer’s point of view, everything was looking great. But he didn’t stop there. He added a host of back end tools to help with planning deliveries and pickups as well as keeping a close eye on sales and equipment utilization. A full redesign of TheRentalGuys.Ca/HardHatRentals.Com website completed this solution.

Why Start an Equipment Rental Franchise?

Invest your money into real assets (your own fleet of rental equipment) vs other franchises where most of your investment will go into leasehold improvements that you will never be able to recoup.

Constantly grow the equity in your business by adding more equipment to your fleet as your business expands.
