Apart from the obvious of buying a powerwasher...\n\n1.  Identify your market (homes? businesses?  government?)\n2.  Will you be 'self contained' (that is, bring your own water) or expect to hook up to the local supply?\n3.  Will you charge by the job, by the square foot(meter), by the hour?\n\nOne of the biggest hurdles to overcome is to identify yourself in the marketplace.  Put yourself in the position of your 'target' market.  "Why would I even WANT anything that I own powerwashed?"\n\n5.  Find out the local codes, permits to create a business in your community.\n\ngood luck

The best place to go is Thomas Register, which is the most comprehensive resource for finding information on suppliers of industrial products and services in North America. Do a search for the type of products you need, and the results include contact information of manufacturers, their website addresses (if any), and brief description of the company. I suggest that you specify more clearly what you want as "car care products" can mean anything from "car detergent wash" to "car cleaners"\n\nhttp://www.thomasnet.com/\n\nThen contact the company you are interested in representing, and ask them for their guidelines and processes in choosing foreign representatives.

In our community car washes are often held in the parking lots of Jiffy Lubes.  Ask for donations of soap and other supplies from local car dealers or auto parts stores.  A couple of other things to consider are local ordinances.  Check with your city and make sure car washes are allowed.  Some areas of the country have water restrictions due to water shortages. Also, check to see if you will need insurance for the car wash.

One of the best ways I've found to raise money is to give a "Free" car wash. You don't charge anyone to wash their car but you do accept donations. These work wonderfully at Wal-Mart. Usually, Wal-Mart will donate the water and the hoses. You will have to supply the workers. Place people at the doors advertising the car wash making sure to state that it is Free but that you do accept donations.\n\nMy church raised several thousand like that for our youth group to go out of state to a youth rally.

You will need several things to start a bar and grill business. It is best to check with your county and ask them what you need.\n\nTo give you an idea, here are the requirements for a similar type of business in Los Angeles CA (it may not be exactly what your county will require but it will be close):\n\n- Building and Construction Permit: Required for all new and remodeling construction, including change of occupancy.\n- Burglar Alarm Permit: A permit must be obtained from this department for any businesses requiring a burglar alarm or security system\n- Business License (Business Tax Certificate): Required for all entities doing business.\n- Conditional Use Permit/Alcohol Sales: Required for retail alcoholic beverage sales\n- Industrial Wastewater Discharge Permit: Required by most businesses discharging wastewater to the sewer system.\n- Land Use Permit: Zone change, variance,conditional use permit.\n- Zoning Approval: Permitted uses, development regulations, design review, sign permit, parking regulations.\n- Business Personal Property: Property used in the operation of a business such as machinery, equipment, trade fixtures, etc. is taxable and subject to assessment\n- Fictitious Name Filing (DBA): Required if fictitious name is used\n- Public Health Operating License: Required of restaurants and businesses manufacturing food, ice or soft drinks\n- Alcoholic Beverage License: Any person or entity seeking to sell alcoholic beverages must be licensed.\n- Corporation, Company or Partnership Filings: If you are considering becoming a corporation, (either stock or nonprofit), a limited liability company or a partnership (limited, or limited liability), you must file with the Secretary of State's Office.\n- Occupational Safety and Health Information: Businesses with employees must prepare an Injury and Illness Prevention Plan. \n- Registration Form for Employers: Required to file a registration form within 15 days after paying more than $100.00 in wages to one or more employees\n- Sales & Use Permit (Seller's Permit): All businesses selling or leasing tangible property must obtain a Seller's Permit.\n- Employer Identification Number (EIN or SSN): Employers with employees, business partnerships, and corporations, must obtain an Employer Identification Number from the I.R.S. \n\nIt's a LONG list. \n\nYou may want to check with Service Corps of Retired Executives Association (SCORE http://www.score.org ), which is a group of retired executives provide guidance, management counseling and training to first-time entrepreneurs and current small business owners.

It is hard to categorically say how much income you can expect to make from a car wash business. The rule of thumb is 15-20% return on investment on a 5-7 year window. It really depends on the type of car wash you decide on and the services you will offer.\n\nYou need to consider the following factors to ensure greater profitability in your car wash business:\n\n1. Location - you need to choose a location that will support the operations of your business, and it should be very visible\n\n2. Type - what car wash operation are you planning to operate (self service car wash or in-bay automatic, which can either be friction automatics or touch free automatics)\n\n3. Equipment - Unless the car wash business you are thinking of is the self service type, an automatic car wash business requires significant capital equipment\n\nOne good resource I found in the car wash business is Hill and Foss Car Wash Business Systems. They have an FAQ section that answers some of the common questions in starting a car wash business. http://www.hillandfoss.com/faq.html\n\nHope this helps\nIsabel Isidro\nFor information on starting a business, visit http://www.powerhomebiz.com
