The package

The business start up package consists of:

all of the equipment listed below
comprehensive information pack with details of wholesale suppliers, advertising advice, training courses, insurance details, helium suppliers, industry events and much more
one day's training on a one to one basis with lunch and refreshments provided.

1500 DECORATOR QUALITY LATEX BALLOONS

These balloons are regarded as the best in the industry and have a float time of 18 hours. Many people assume that you can buy balloons from a shop and that they are all suitable for helium filling but this is not true. Many are only for air filling and even the helium quality balloons may have much shorter float times. I will supply you with a range of the most popular colours based on my experience. Most of these balloons also have a pearlised finish, which look very classy for weddings.

54 FOIL BALLOONS

I will supply you with a range of the most popular foil balloons for a variety of occasions such as birthdays, anniversaries, christenings and new babies as well as a mixture of plain heart and star shaped balloons, which look great in a balloon bouquet and are also popular as a balloon in a box delivery.

1 BAG OF 100 WEIGHTS

These are needed to weight down single foil balloons so that they do not float away. Also these balloons are not biodegradable so balloon regulations state that all foil balloons must be weighted.

8 ROLLS OF CURLING RIBBON

A mixture of colours will be supplied. This ribbon can be attached to single latex or foil balloons. There is a total of 4000 metres of ribbon altogether.

2 ROLLS OF THICK RIBBON

I will show you how to make simple bows with this ribbon, which can then be used to decorate a balloon in a box delivery.

1 BALLOON SIZER BOX

This allows you to size balloons in 13 different sizes. It is important that you size your balloons when making up table arrangements and arches as this makes your work look professional and prevents you from over inflating which can lead to burst balloons and uneven displays.

1 INFLATOR ATTACHMENT FOR GAS BOTTLE

This will allow you to inflate both latex and foil balloons.

5 BOXES BALLOON BOUQUET WEIGHTS

60 weights in total will allow you to make up to 60 sets of balloon bouquets. These will be supplied in gold, silver, iridescent, red and star shaped.

ARCHLINE

A reel of monofilament will be supplied which will enable you to make arches.

ELECTRIC AIR INFLATOR

This allows you to blow up air filled balloons very quickly, which is ideal for making up columns. You can then use your sizer box to make sure they are all the same size.

2 POLE AND BASE SETS FOR BALLOON COLUMNS

These are necessary for making up columns. They are collected again after each event. You may wish to ask for a refundable deposit when hiring them out. You can easily disassemble them when they are being transported to and from the venue.

10 BALLOON DELIVERY BOXES

A foil balloon can be put in this box on top of tissue paper and then wrapped with ribbon and a large bow. You can also add other items such as chocolates and teddies. Many customers see it as a great alternative to flowers and they can also be used for mothers day and Valentines Day.

TISSUE FOR BALLOON BOXES

This is used to line the inside of the balloon box so that it looks more presentable.

Catalogues

I will supply you with catalogues from the main balloon manufacturers. These balloons and products can be bought from the wholesalers in the information pack.

The total investment for the start-up package is £1595.00

This is a one-off payment - there are no hidden charges, and you will own your business.
