realistically raise operating margins from the initial 116% EBITDA in 2026 to over 58% by 2030 by focusing on capacity utilization and premium package sales This growth requires scaling the fleet and labor efficiently The initial capital expenditure is high-about $605,000 for the first fleet and setup-but the business hits break-even quickly, within two months You defintely need to shift the mix toward higher-priced Corporate Contract Events ($3,500 average price) and optimize driver scheduling to handle the projected 2,200+ rentals by 2030\n\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv
