1.0 Executive Summary

Business Name: SoundBridge Rentals Ltd.

Business Location: Suite 4, Adebayo Commercial Complex, Ring Road, Ibadan, Oyo State, Nigeria.

1.1     Business Overview:

SoundBridge Rentals Ltd. is a professional musical equipment rental company based in Ibadan. The company will offer high-quality sound, stage, lighting, and multimedia equipment to support events including weddings, church crusades, concerts, corporate functions, political rallies, and educational ceremonies. The venture is designed to solve a common problem in Ibadan and surrounding areas—inaccessibility to professional-grade equipment for events at an affordable price.

Ibadan, being one of the largest and fastest-growing urban cities in Nigeria with a vibrant event culture, hosts thousands of events monthly. Yet many individuals and small event planners face limitations in sourcing quality sound systems, stage lighting, live band gear, DJ setups, and audio-visual equipment. SoundBridge will bridge that gap with a scalable, well-managed, and customer-centric rental service.

The business will deploy a wide catalog of equipment, including public address (PA) systems, microphones, mixers, lighting rigs, fog machines, LED screens, speakers, band kits, generators, and transport vehicles. Equipment will be offered on a per-hour, per-day, or project-basis rental model, supported by optional services such as technical support, delivery, setup, and on-site management.

An initial capital of ₦22,000,000 is required for equipment purchase, vehicle acquisition, warehouse lease, staff recruitment, branding, and marketing. The business is projected to break even within 12 to 15 months of full operation and is expected to scale by expanding to secondary markets such as Iwo, Ogbomosho, and Osogbo in Year 3.

2.0 Business Description

2.1 Industry Overview

Nigeria’s entertainment and event industry is experiencing steady growth, with Oyo State emerging as a hub for grassroots entertainment, faith-based crusades, wedding ceremonies, and local shows. These activities often rely heavily on musical and sound amplification equipment. The musical equipment rental industry is thus vital for enabling small-to-large scale performances without requiring clients to purchase expensive gear.

However, the Ibadan market suffers from several issues:

• Poor-quality or outdated sound systems
• Unreliable technicians and transport
• Lack of formal rental contracts
• No digital booking platforms

SoundBridge Rentals Ltd. will address these issues by offering premium, well-maintained gear, digital and walk-in booking options, and professional service delivery with flexible pricing.

2.2 Legal Structure and Ownership

• Legal Name: SoundBridge Rentals Ltd.
• Ownership Structure: Sole proprietorship (with plans to incorporate as Ltd. in Year 2)
• Business Registration: To be registered with CAC and licensed under Oyo State Rental & Entertainment Services
• Regulatory Compliance:
• Payee tax (Oyo State Internal Revenue Service)
• Environmental Health and Noise Regulation
• Association of Music Equipment Rental Operators (AMERO) membership

2.3 Core Business Activities

• Rental of audio equipment (speakers, mixers, microphones)
• Rental of stage and lighting gear
