*Typical Profits

A typical sunbed Home Hire Business usually operates 3 types of sunbeds: – Vertical, Double and Single Canopy units. The following estimate is based on a modest fleet of 50 sunbeds, being hired out for 4 week periods. There are 13 X 4 week periods a year, however the estimate is based on 12 X 4 week hire periods per sunbed. This compensates for any time when not all sunbeds are out on hire. This makes the estimates very realistic.
