Like taxes, changes in customers doing river rafting, cost of the rafts, salaries if at all the firm would require services of other employees as well as over head costs.
The risks the firm cannot predict are the economic trends in the river rafting business, unexpected upsurge of competitors doing the same business as well as attitude and changes of consumer trends towards river rafting. Since the risks in this business would be real I would advice the firm not to consider insurance policies as a burden but instead take the following polices; Worker's Compensation Insurance; this is essential since the business will just starting and would comfortably handle the premiums for the few workers starting off the business. Since the mobile home-office will not be convenient, it would be advisable to take up business property insurance after and office block has been erected.

Advantages of running river rating in Jackson Hole.
Several river rafting companies have existed since 1967. If this firm decides to start rafting business here, there will be the advantages of publicity. The area is known for rafting activity, and customers might even land on the firm without knowing it. Also, due to availability of a flock of customers in other firms advertisement in terms of posters will work well for the firm.
The best incentive to attract customers to the business will be to offer relatively low rates for the rafters of low income, this way they will be able to access the services. Considering that Wyoming is a dry area and of low economic prowess, it will be easy to attract locals with low rates other than trying to compete with the already established firms like Dave Hansen.
