Merchants can list items and services for rent, set prices and availability. Customers can browse listings, book appointments and make online payments.

7. • The “traditional” rental industry accounted for nearly $110B in revenue in
2009*
– According to the American Rental Association, greater than 80% of rental equipment
companies are family-owned small businesses with little online functionality (extremely
fragmented industry)
– The rental industry is notorious for charging high prices and being difficult to do business
with (short hours of operation, high delivery charges, expensive deposits, aging
equipment, lack of online reservations, etc.)
• Although current rental activities account for a tremendous opportunity,
Renterval aims to take share from the traditional “person to person” sales
that occur daily on Craigslist, Ebay and other similar services
• Renterval also pursues various non-traditional rental businesses as a
source of “rentable” inventory (time or tangible items)
– Pawn shops
– Pre-owned sporting equipment retailers
– Pre-owned musical instruments retailers
– Services of every variety that charge for appointments
