VHS Digitisation Kit Rental: Let Customers Preserve Their Own Memories
People have nowhere to hire equipment to convert old tapes to digital โ this rental service delivers a complete kit for the weekend.
The business involves hiring out complete kits for home digitisation of VHS tapes and other analogue media. A typical kit includes a working VCR, a USB capture card, connecting cables, and a clear step-by-step guide. The customer collects or receives the kit, transfers recordings to their computer over the weekend, and returns it. The operator earns on each rental, with the main investment being equipment acquisition and ongoing maintenance.
Professional digitisation services have long waiting times and customers must hand over irreplaceable recordings to a stranger. Buying your own equipment makes no sense for a one-off job โ and this gap remains largely unaddressed in the UK market.
๐ผAnalogue media is physically degrading
The magnetic layer on VHS tapes deteriorates over time. Owners are aware of this and seeking solutions before it is too late โ demand for digitisation is real and emotionally urgent.
