What's up guys? Just wanted to say hello and get some knowledge from you professionals. So bare with me if I ask a lot of questions. I am thinking of opening a mobile business down here. There is noone for about 70 miles around. I own my lawn service business for the last five years, just need a change so any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank You, hope to talk to a few of you soon.

Here in Florida a lawn business is more desireable than a mobile detailing business so I wouldn't get rid of your lawn business to start a detail business unless you know it will work.

A well esteblished lawn business can be sold for big bucks because you have mostly repeat accounts that pay regular. A detail business is very hard to sell here. Even if you have a bunch of regular contracted accounts.

It's harder to fill a good detailer's shoes than it is to go in and take over a lawn service.

I hate to discourage anyone from starting a detail business just make sure you give it some thought before going in. I know lawn guys who have worked their business all their life and sold it and used the money to retire. I just don't see that happening with most mobile detailing services.

BTW, Welcome to DC. :redface:
 
First welcome to DC :howdy
Second, I agree with Troy ..yes it happens every once in a blue moon :notme:

Even though detailing is not the most difficult of careers, it does take time and experience to do properly... this not a profession where books and reading can substitute for hands on experience...
Doing your own or your families vehicles is much different than having a time schedule and working on the unknown with someone else's expectations.
Good luck, but move forward with caution and as it has been said before .."don't give up the day job" at least not yet ;)
