In this recession, many of us are trying to start a business with limited start-up capital. Car washes are one of those businesses that can have high profits but low startup costs. So how do you start such a business?
First you need to decide on the type of car wash.
Decide if you want to clean private cars or repair cars that can be sold to the public at local dealerships/dealers. You can also consider cleaning cabs for your local business. I know someone who diligently cleans up the dead. It may sound strange, but even in a recession, carts, taxis and cars for sale need to be cleaned. You can also consider cleaning the limousine – it gets heavy use, but still needs to be squeaky clean. Then there are the local trucks/cars and if you’re feeling really brave/strong – there are the big trucks. Your challenge is to find a company looking for these jobs.
Once you’ve decided on an auto repair business, you need to decide whether or not you want a trailer. Mobile helps you reach many of the malls mentioned above and Static helps you bypass malls and private vehicles.
Now you need to get your gear.
If you choose a fixed installation, your van (mobile phone) or washing machine will be more expensive. When you start with a small budget, everything points in the direction of a small car. Your toolkit should now include at least the following:
- External washers and high-pressure tires.
- A portable vacuum cleaner that is as efficient as possible.
- Special vehicles for tools and tire cleaners, including tire cleaners and air conditioners.
- Special detergents, such as chewing gum, alcohol, etc.
- Shoes, brushes, bumpers, chamois, etc.
- Lots of shrugs!
Now for your marketing strategy.
Think about how much you are willing to pay to tow the Bil rengøring you want. Get more car quotes and regular maintenance today. Visit your local printer or find a good printer online – make beautiful postcards and more. Give something that describes your activities, your contact information and maybe a unique first meeting with these people.
Now burn shoe leather with cards from a store, supermarket, etc. Place an ad in the local newspaper and get in the yellow pages as soon as possible.
Now get dressed and go to a local business you like. Ask to speak to the right person and give them an overview of what you can do, drop off your card and make an appointment to discuss things and negotiate a price.
Good luck and you’ll get an explanation!
