Wow 8,000 dang, Might need a loan, I'm think of getting my business jump start tremendously or fall flat on my face... I have a shop, equipment, space to detail, I thinking of getting a pretty good size loan when my credit builds up, to buy a detailing trailer a older model truck to tote the trailer and trailer wrap for the trailer, along with a complete design of my detailing business, with a new look, new name and everything before I start to get big, right now I'm the only one in my area detailing car, and there are a lot of cars needing to be detailed, I also have a great location right now, because there is a private resort next to my house with at least 5,000 people living it it, with loads of money, the property is outrageously high if I can get a mobile business started I can turn over some serious dough! Think I should wait off, or go for it, I currently have one employee no business licenses and doing all this part time. Of course Ill get insurance and a business license if I commit to all this. Right now making roughly around $500 week off of just me, with my employee $750 excluding expenses such as products, shop I'm detailing in is free for me, so don't have to worry about light bills and water bills, and has everything I need. I can start pretty small now in my local area, and when things start going good here branch off in a different area, while keeping my shop in my hometown. If I had a trailer wrap advertising my business, people around here would call left and right, just need help deciding what to do? I wont be doing this for a good while, my dad can help me start my business, and get a loan, but right now, we stay pretty busy, of course ill change my prices and services.
I'm not doing this of a whim, Ive been thinking about this for about a year now, and need to start a career somewhere, My customers always tell me I do very good work, some say I should charge a lot more for my services, I always have repeat customers and at least one referral off my customers. I also know that I am 19, but I'm a very determined person and always get the job done, I don't spend left and right, I always save at least 25% of my income for rainy days.
But hey might be a little over my head with trying to start something, But back to subject on mobile detailing, Ive researched a little on google and found a great set up with all equipment and tanks need plus trailer, haven't called them but it'll set me back a lot of money, Like my dad says "Don't settle for something cheap, save up and buy something good" So I don't care if I have to invest in a loan to get something that wont be good, is the business worth even worrying with for a mobile set-up, Ive heard a lot of good things saying they are!
), I have another pc, I also have a small pop-up canopy (can't really put a hummer under the thing, but it will work on small jobs). Ill be driving no more than 30 minutes to each customers house or job to wash vehicles, Ill do some research on run-off for the cities of Weaverville, Mars Hill, Marshall, Asheville, Hendersonville, and so forth, I don't want to look like a rookie when I go mobile, AT ANY MEANS. I don't care to get a loan, I need to get my name out to the public, thats why I was wanting a trailer. Keep in mind, Im not as big as you guys yet. I'm going mobile for two reasons, One: Compete with the competition, Two: To increase business. If we can keep operating cost under a thousand for a mobile business, I can save, and not have to take out a loan.
