Startup cost: $500 - $5k

Starting a clothing rentals side hustle can have setup costs ranging from $500 to $5,000. At the low end, one would need basic equipment like a clothing rack, hangers, and maybe a small inventory of rental items. At the high end, investing in a well-designed website, professional photography, inventory expansion, marketing tools, and store management software would be essential. Hidden costs may include website hosting fees, marketing expenses, and potential repairs or replacements for rental items. While some may initially think it's low-cost, expenses can increase as the business grows. For a serious approach, budgeting around $2,000 to $3,000 would be advisable.
