If you love beautifying cars, and you hate someone else being your boss, then you should surely venture into the auto detailing business. You do not have a lot of money to start the business? Well, a mobile auto detailing business does not require a lot of capital investment. Let's see what it takes to begin a mobile auto detailing business.
Starting an Auto Detailing Business
Before you go any further, let me tell you one thing, auto detailing business will drain you out, as there is a lot of manual labor involved. You should enter this field only if you are willing to work very hard.
Research and Evaluation
Once you are sure about your decision to start the business, you should carry out some research, and evaluate your business idea. Many people who skipped this phase, did not last too long in the market. Research makes you think rationally, it is essential (as you may get overwhelmed by your urge to start the business). In your research, you should identify your competitors and note down the services provided by them (you should also note the service charges), isolate your prime area of operation, and also observe the drawbacks in this business. Research will help you evaluate your idea, and help you make a good business plan.
The Business Plan
A business plan is crucial for any business, and is a precursor to success. You are not working for charity, are you? So, you have to stop acting like an amateur, and start behaving like a professional. Efficiency and effectiveness are the characteristics of a professional, and you can only develop these two attributes if you have a good business plan. Develop a strategy and work with respect to it.
Service Vehicle and the Equipment
If your business is "mobile", you will obviously need a service vehicle (van/truck). The vehicle should be able to accommodate all the equipment that you will need for the job. Once you have the vehicle, it is time for you to get all the equipment (all cleaning chemicals, wax, polishers, and all other equipment that you will need for cleaning). The best way to attract customers is by showing them your talent, and the best way to do that is to recondition your service vehicle, and let your work speak for you
