Don't know about the other referrals here, but I do know Jim Followell has been renting carts for several years, always has at least 20 in stock (last time I talked to him, he had 85 carts) and both rents and sells carts. He does not have a store and does work out of his home with the carts stored in various locations. However, he is insured, not sure about licensed.

I've found TV to be unique in how many businesses operate. It seems much more is done by individuals rather than contractors, store fronts, etc. I'd guess this is because of the abundance of retirees whose working life was spent in specific trades. They don't to work full-time, they don't want the hassles of owning a business per so but they want or need the income, so work out of their homes. Where I was from in California, referrals honestly didn't mean that much -- you checked the BBB and went with the best deal and if it happened to be someone that was referred to you, great; if not, oh well. Here, referrals are your lifeblood -- both for the business and for the individual hiring.
