Fun Time Rentals Kicks Off their Business with the Help of GROW South Dakota

Starting a business can be overwhelming, and financing is just one piece of the puzzle. Fortunately, GROW South Dakota has knowledgeable staff who are ready to help you get started. When Derek Diedrich, owner of Fun Time Rentals, was planning his venture, he sought advice from a local banker who recommended the GROW South Dakota business loan program. Reflecting on their journey, Derek shared, "We had never owned our own business. Now, we own two: Fun Time Rentals and Fun Time Adventures." He added, "We started as a seasonal rental company offering just boats, campers, and jet skis. Now, we've expanded to offer more rentals year-round."

Fun Time Rentals benefited from GROW South Dakota’s free digital literacy business tool, as well. They used this program to deepen their understanding of startup processes, financial management, and marketing strategies.
