NewFractional Booth Ownership
Own half the booth. Pay half the hardware.
You pay about half of what the booth hardware costs, plus a yearly maintenance fee. Reserve it 120 days ahead and it’s guaranteed for your show. When you’re not using it, we rent it to other exhibitors and share the income with you. Works for modular and custom booths.
How it works.
We co-own the booth
You own half the hardware and we own half. You buy and own your graphics outright.
You use it when you need it
Reserve it at least 120 days before a show and it’s guaranteed yours. Use it at as many shows as you like. We store it and look after it.
It earns when it’s idle
Between your shows we rent it to other exhibitors. We keep 20% for marketing and sales, then split the rest with you 50/50.

Common questions.
What does the yearly maintenance cover?
Your share of storing the booth in conditioned storage and your share of insurance to cover repairs. It’s 15% of what you paid for your half of the hardware.
Who owns the graphics?
You do. You buy your graphics outright and they’re used only at your shows.
How do I reserve the booth for my shows?
Reserve it at least 120 days before your show and it’s guaranteed. You can still reserve it later than that, as long as another exhibitor hasn’t booked those dates first.
Does it work for custom booths?
Yes. Fractional ownership works for modular and custom booths.
How long do I own my share?
For as long as you like. You can sell your share to someone else at any time, and after 5 years you also have the option to give it back to us.
Can I buy your half?
Yes. You can buy our half at its original price. We don’t mark it up and we don’t depreciate it.
