This is a business idea that I was baffled as to why nobody else was doing it yet. You can get paid for renting out your things to people. Actual people living nearby who want to borrow your stuff, and are willing to pay for the trouble. Seriously why have Gumtree or eBay not added this as an option yet? What’s even better is if you use my Fat Llama referral code you’ll get £20 off your first rental.

You can make or save hundreds renting almost anything. From DSLR cameras and drones to audio equipment, power tools, ski equipment, generators, and leaf blowers. I could go on but Grammarly is throwing a fit as to how many commas I’m using already. Tents, roof boxes, and telescopes can be rented on Fat Llama too.

Just think of any expensive purchase you were going to make and only use twice, it’s probably on FatLlama. What’s cool is that it’s all insured too by Fat Llama, So should the worst happen and that expensive drone you borrowed off Martin in Carlisle is now lost in the Adriatic sea, they’ve got your back.

What I would say about Fat Llama (saying by no means to discourage you) is that there have been a few horror stories over the past few years. As with any P2P company in their defense. I recommend following all the guidance that they offer to protect your stuff and meet the insurance guidelines should the worst happen and your equipment is broken or even worse still, never returned.

It’s such a good idea that I even had this idea back in 2015. It was going to be called ‘WheelBorrow’. Ultimately I didn’t pursue it as didn’t know how to code python, the lack of capital, and the worry of getting sued when someone broke a drill and tried to return it put me off.

Probably for the best that I didn’t pursue it as Fat Llama has done a sterling job up to now. Hit me up though if you want to license WheelBorrow/Wheelborro™ off me though as I think it has more global appeal than Fat Llama.

I’d also recommend taking a look at Stashbee, where you can rent out spare space in your house or garage to folk who need to store stuff. It can be just a lucrative is on the spectrum of gig economy businesses that don’t require much effort to make money.
