Your major initial costs of establishing a rage room can be kept to a minimum. For $5,000 or less you should be able to start operating. Here’s where you’re likely to spend your money: Rental space - You’ll need a room or building to set up your tableaus and book customers. Also, keep in mind that you’ll need storage space for all of the breakable objects you must regularly acquire. This might be provided with your rental, or perhaps you can store items in your own garage or basement. Rental rates vary greatly depending on your region, city and even the part of town where you set up operation, but it’s likely to be your highest cost. Your space might be a vehicle outfitted as a rage room. If you go in that direction, you might have to buy or rent a trailer or otherwise spend to outfit your mobile vehicle appropriately. And of course your costs will go way up if you must buy a vehicle to go into mobile operation. Breakable goods - If you’ve come up with winning strategies for finding the objects, this cost might be minimal. Try to get most of what will be destroyed for free. Liability insurance - You’re going to operate as safely as possible, but minor injuries could still happen. And your landlord might refuse to rent to you unless you acquire liability insurance, so talk to an insurance broker even before you’ve signed your lease. Safety gear - Buy hard hats, goggles and work gloves so that your customers don’t get hurt by flying glass. You’ll also provide bats or other tools of destruction. Publicity/promotion/advertising - Start by promoting your business through free media. You should be able to get stories placed online and in local media. It’s only as your business loses its novelty or acquires competitors that you should consider paid advertising. Employees - It might be beyond your initial budget to hire any employees. Instead, seek out the voluntary services of close friends or family members. When your business expands you can start to think about paying for help.
