You should rent out the pad machines instead. A much shorter learning curve involved and much more durable equipment mean more profit for you.

sounds like a great way to decrease your customer base.
rentals,bissels,and DIY's are a CC's largest competition IMO
so do us a favor and buy some real crappy machines and sell some real lousy chems |

Ok I'm probably going to get flamed off the board for this. Anyhoos, Thermax has a rental package program. Basically it works like this: You select a location to place a rental rack inside a store. The racks contain 1-2 extraction machines, and a full assortment of chemicals. You offer the store between $8-10 per rental as an incentive to place your rack inside their location. The store is responsible for selling the product and keeping track of the machines and chemicals. The store is issued a book where all rentees are required to furnish their drivers license number and deposit and to sign a contact stating that they will only use the chemicals that are sold in the store in their machine. If they break it, or return the machine uncleaned they will lose part or all of their deposit. Now the idea is to make at least $20-25 every time the machine goes out the door and to have it go out the door as many times per week as possible. If you have 10 locations, and average 1 rental per week per machine, you will make $250 for your efforts and all that is required is just one day of driving around and pick up your checks and do maintenance on the machines. Average 2 rentals per machine per week and that goes up to $500 and still one day of "work". I know that pads and TM machines would blow these small rigs out of the water so to speak, but, the idea with this is to create a residual income where you basically don't have to put much effort into collecting a paycheck each week. I don't think it would be totally bad for the professional either if they were to offer it, since they could offer the machine rentals themselves to price concious customers who posess a want for DIY projects.
