Here’s the meat & potatoes of my business plan:
Enroll 50 vehicles (not clients) into my maintenance program (club). This will include an initial maximum correction/complete detail (+$500) and follow up of weekly maintenance washes ($75/$100??). LSP (spray wax/WOWA) will be applied monthly (+$25) and each vehicle will receive a semi-annual paint correction with interior revitalization/protection. This will of course be staggered ultimately to insure a 6 day work week if possible.
An assistant will be implemented and will be equipped to earn approximately $35K/yr based on performance. If max capacity is reached this is the potential breakdown of income if all goes well:
Here’s the bulk breakdown @ $75 per wash:
$195,000 - Maintenance Wash income
$25,000 - Initial Details
$15,000 - LSP monthly treatment
$40,000 - Semi-Annual Correction
_________
$275,000 - Net Sales
-$35,000 - Labor
_________
$240,000 - Income before Expenses
At $100 per wash:
$260,000
$25,000
$15,000
$40,000
_________
$340,000
-$35,000
_________
$290,000
Is it though? Does anyone know of any Sole Proprietor/Operator/Technician Detailers earning this level of revenue? Wouldn’t you rather wash 10-12 cars per day (w/help) than do mediocre details day in-day out? I’m a firm believer in catering to clients that see value in 1-stop shopping. When we detail client’s vehicles, think of all the money left behind in trivial washes? Plus, it’s much easier to find & train people to perform these services.
You tell me Bradley? I think I am! I’m anxious to hear your input on my plan.
