Re: Starting a Professional Detailing Business! Help???

There are people that will give you detailed business models, but your employee scenario is way off if you want to be a legal business. You have additional payroll taxes on top of their $8 for starters, not to mention some other overhead items like worker's comp, etc., etc., plus, if you want to be making more than $150 a detail, you're going to need to be more than semi. And what are your $8 grunts going to be doing? $50 details?

EDIT: PS, I'm not trying to be harsh. I just don't understand how people come on here and expect to up and start their own business and be making big coin with no experience at anything. If you said you were graduating high school and wanted to be an auto mechanic because you've been putzing around with your own cars for a couple years, and instead of starting by working at a gas station/garage/dealer, you said you were just going to start your own mobile mechanic business and expected to make 30-80K...well, that just woudn't be reasonable. College graduates with serious degrees are only starting at $30-40K and my neice went to an (edit) *really expensive* school and got out last year and she's a bartender...
