HS Listing ID-73384
Business Overview
An exciting opportunity to acquire an established local tent and party rental business with an attractive inventory, a professional website, social media presence, and growing word-of-mouth referrals.
The business provides tent, table, and chair packages for graduation parties, birthdays, engagements, intimate backyard weddings, school events, and holiday celebrations.
Built by two owners who also maintain full-time jobs, the business has grown within deliberately limited operating hours and a focused geographic area. A new owner can build on this foundation by expanding inventory, increasing availability, and reaching additional communities.
Financial & Operating Highlights
2025 revenue: Approximately $59,000.
2026 revenue to date: Approximately $54,000 through mid-October, with additional bookings scheduled for Thanksgiving and Christmas.
2026 full-year revenue anticipated by sellers: Approximately $59,000 to $60,000.
Events serviced in 2026 to date: Approximately 98 through mid-October
Current package pricing: Approximately $325 to $750, with additional charges for select accessories.
Primary season: May through July, with additional bookings through December.
Current winter closure: January through April.
The business operates with two working owners and supplemental seasonal help. Seller estimates place annual seasonal labor costs at approximately $5,000 to $7,500, liability insurance at approximately $2,000, and the current storage arrangement at approximately $2,400.
Financial figures are seller-reported. Owner earnings will depend on staffing, owner involvement, and operating expenses.
An Attractive Product Offering
The rental offering combines visually appealing high peak tents with padded resin chairs, helping distinguish the business from operators offering basic seating.
Tent packages accommodate approximately 16 to 64 guests, with sizes ranging from 10 × 20 feet to 20 × 40 feet. Smaller tent options allow the business to serve compact backyards and waterfront properties where space can limit available choices.
The business has experience installing tents on lawns and patios. Additional rental offerings include cocktail tables, tent sidewalls, and commercial propane heaters with thermostat controls.
Equipment & Business Assets
The proposed sale includes the business brand, website, Facebook and Instagram accounts, and rental equipment, subject to the final purchase agreement.
Equipment highlights include:
High peak tents in multiple sizes.
Padded resin chairs and tables.
Cocktail tables and tent accessories.
Two commercial propane heaters.
Two enclosed trailers purchased new in 2025, measuring approximately 8.5 × 20 feet and 7 × 14 feet.
A trailer customized with racks and secured storage for tent equipment.
A storage container.
A towing van is also available, with inclusion and pricing to be finalized. A detailed inventory schedule will confirm equipment quantities and the assets included in the sale.
High Peak Tent Inventory: 12 Tents
The inventory offers seven tent sizes to accommodate a variety of backyard layouts and event needs, with multiple units in larger sizes to support simultaneous bookings.
Local Recognition & Customer Relationships
Word-of-mouth referrals have become an increasingly important source of bookings, allowing the owners to reduce their advertising activity. In 2026, paid advertising was concentrated primarily in June with total advertising cost of $1,000.
The customer base includes residential clients and school events, with some returning holiday customers. The sellers report no significant customer concentration.
The website features photographs of the company’s own installations, giving buyers an existing portfolio to support future marketing.
The business has earned many five-star reviews, providing valuable social proof and an established foundation of customer trust for a new owner.
Practical Booking & Delivery Process
The business uses Jobber to manage quotes and customer bookings. Its operating process includes responding to inquiries, assessing available space, preparing rental packages, delivering and installing equipment, and returning for removal.
The owners report typical installation times of approximately 30 minutes to two hours, with removal generally taking 15 to 45 minutes, depending on the package and site.
Current operations are scheduled around the owners’ other employment, with installations generally concentrated on Thursdays and Fridays and removals on Mondays and Tuesdays. Seasonal workers provide additional help during busy periods.
Growth Opportunities
Expand capacity during peak demand
The sellers report that inventory typically sells out during approximately four consecutive weekends around graduation season. Additional tents, tables, and chairs could help capture bookings currently declined because of limited availability.
Broaden the service area
The owners intentionally keep deliveries local. A buyer willing to serve additional Long Island communities could pursue a wider customer base.
Increase marketing activity
More consistent social media content, targeted advertising, and local search visibility could build on the existing website and referral network.
Develop referral partnerships
Relationships with caterers, event planners, schools, community organizations, and venues could create additional booking channels.
Expand accessory rentals
Additional event accessories and package upgrades could increase revenue per booking. Standalone table and chair rentals, which the owners currently limit to preserve tent-package inventory, offer another avenue to explore.
Pursue more off-season events
The business already serves select fall and holiday celebrations. A buyer could actively market heated tent packages and other seasonal offerings.
Buyer Fit & Transition
This opportunity is well suited to a hands-on entrepreneur, a two-person ownership team, or an existing tent rental or event services company seeking additional inventory and a local customer base.
The sellers are willing to provide installation training and transition support, with the scope and timing to be agreed upon. Their decision to sell reflects a desire to move into a less physically demanding business while balancing family commitments and full-time employment.
