To find success starting in the online rental space, the first step is to pick a niche that has demand. Some examples include furniture, tools, electronics, and/or transport (vehicle) rentals. Until you begin researching your target audience, it is difficult to pinpoint and offer a product at a competitive price, rental length, and reservation point. After your research is done, it should be easy to go the next step and build a basic yet trusted website or mobile app for your customers to browse items, book a rental, and pay securely with few clicks.

After the technology is developed you will need to decide whether you'll be renting items you own or develop a peer-to-peer option (where other individuals can rent their own items via your platform). Regardless of which option you choose, you will want to develop clear rental agreements, delivery and return policies and deposit policies (that supports trust) so that you can execute the transaction smoothly.

Logistics are important as well, so you will need to deeply think through how you will ensure timely delivery, maintenance of the items rented, and customer support availability.

Marketing is important to ensure your customers will find you when they need your products. This can begin with organic growth through SEO, targeting ads via social media and partnerships and affiliate marketing. Consider offering promotions and discounts, long-tail rentals, and ensure your customer service is second to none to create loyal customers. Tracking demand via analytics tools will provide you insight to incrementally improve your operation.

If you want to scale your rental business quickly, you can source customers via B2B marketplaces like Pepagora to find businesses to work with as trading partners or suppliers. Compass in the business market like Pepagora will help you grow quicker, increased credibility, and can help you focus on R&D to expand your marketplace for your rental business as you grow.
