The basics

What it is and how it works

List underused gear for free, get verified bookings, hand over locally. Lenders pay about 20% commission; borrowers pay about 10% (higher on some risky categories like cameras).

Where the money comes from

How the model works

  1. You list what you own
  2. Renters pay to borrow it
  3. The platform pays you, minus its fee

Honest numbers

What you could realistically earn

Depends on item demand and day-rate you set. Camera/tool owners in cities can earn intermittently; quiet listings earn £0. No guaranteed monthly figure.
