Checklist for Your First Commercial Sunbed
Collect the equipment, room and access information for your first commercial sunbed enquiry, whether you plan to buy or hire.
Use this checklist to prepare your first commercial sunbed enquiry. It gives you a concise list of decisions and information to gather; the room requirements guide covers the premises questions in more depth.
Your equipment shortlist
- Decide whether you want a stand-up or lay-down unit, or need help comparing them.
- Record the exact model names rather than relying on a family name or photograph.
- Compare buying and hire using the full proposal, including any premises work and agreed delivery or installation arrangements.

- Photograph the proposed room and the route from the delivery point.
- Record narrow doors, corridor turns, stairs and lift access.
- Note existing ventilation and any planned building work.
- Ask what remains to be assessed for the exact model before you build or order.
