Instructions

Difficulty: Moderately Easy

1. Calculate the exact numbers and sizes of the uniforms that you need. In some cases, you can get professional fittings for certain types of gear, so have an precise list to hand for inventory purposes and accurate estimates.
2. Make your choices as to fabric, color and style based on the image you want to promote for your company. Consider the practicality of the uniform, such as freedom of movement and wear and tear as well as the cost. Consider personalizing the uniforms with an emblem or name tag, but remember that these are probably non-returnable.
3. Find out what services and guarantees are offered with the product. Some companies will include maintenance and will take care of all repairs, fittings and delivery schedules automatically. This is a good choice for large corporations with a greater budget. Weigh up the options in relation to your specific requirements to see if this is the best option for you.
4. Ask for a specific program from each rental company that you consider. If you are making a mass bulk order, the online prices might not reflect the true cost as you may qualify for quantity discounts. Check that all the prices quoted to you include sales tax and shipping. You need to invest more time to consult with each company, but it is important to have a true cost estimate.
5. Check your company's tax policies. In some cases, uniform rental will be fully refundable so your business can claim back all your costs, meaning you won't have any investment. Consult the accountant and keep accurate records and receipts of all your transactions.
