[QUOTE="Leland Crooks, post: 73852, member: 382"] Re: Making the next step in the PA biz... Let's hear your thoughts I don't play at this level in the audio world. But I do in a very similar business. My other business is construction equipment rental. All of the business plans presented here sound exactly like the cost/benefit analysis we try to get contractors to use when deciding whether to buy or rent. If you look at the European hire (rental) market, practically every tool on the jobsite is rented. Even the biggest contractors own practically nothing. Our gear reaches the $levels in pro audio very quickly. And the maintenance is enormous. At 6-7 gigs a year it's not justifiable, I guarantee it Monthly starts to get closer. Same thing as a contractor needing a 75k telehandler 6-7 times a year. We are experts with the equipment. They are the experts (well, sometimes) on using it. Let the gear guys do their job, you do yours. [/QUOTE]
