Estimates suggest startup costs are typically around £1,500 to £6,000, depending on the cameras, audio kit and insurance you choose. Check the terms of cover for hired or owned equipment before you take bookings.

Monthly revenue is typically estimated at around £500 to £3,500, depending on how many events you book and the kit you hire out. It is revenue rather than profit, and you can start from around 8 hours a week.

Check public liability insurance and cover for equipment, and what venues expect for portable appliance testing and safe cabling. Check recording consent and data protection, permissions for music or copyrighted material, and plan a backup connection because venue wifi can be unreliable.
