From your post, this sounds like a rather vague concept. Here are a few random questions & thoughts:

	Are you thinking in terms of a Local or regional market, or national?

	Are you a props artisan who has built up an inventory of props that you want to rent, or are you planning on building / buying props?

	Are you thinking in terms of large furniture or vehicles or smaller hand props? Unique specialty items? show-specific?

	Whilst I’m not in the market for  props rental, if I were I’d be unlikely to deal with someone that is only on Facebook. I’d expect to visit an actual Website, and preferably see a list of what you have in stock. (with photos and descriptions.)
