Houseboat Rental Business Plan


Houses On The Lake will create a competitive business model for vacation houseboat rental on Lake Shasta in Northern California. Instead of buying houseboats, the company will rent out small housesboats to young couples and families (up to six persons) from their existing owners. To be competitive with luxury vacation boat companies, the company will offer other services such as rental of houseboats to vacationers and moorage. The business must acquire loans to launch.

Robert Hopkins, the founder and owner of the business, will make it profitable within its second year. The company will also be very profitable in its third year. Rent rates will be very low for the market and start at about $600 for three days in an off season.
