Your Car Wash Business Plan


A business plan for new car wash to be constructed by someone new to the car wash industry is generally more extensive than one to buy or refurb an existing car wash.  A plan for for a new car wash to be constructed by someone already in the industry is often not as extensive.

A rough guideline for someone new to the industry and who plans to construct a new car wash is to write a business plan that is at least one page of text for every $100,000 of loan.  So if you are new to the industry and need a loan for $1,500,000 it would be reasonable to have a business plan that is at least 15 pages of text.  This 15 pages does NOT including any schedules, photos, maps, charts, cash flow projections, projections assumptions, or items in the appendix - just text.   If you are new to the industry it is reasonable to write a business plan that is at least 10 pages of text even if the loan is less than $1,000,000.

A rough guideline for someone who presently owns a car wash, plans to construct a new car wash, and needs a loan for $1,500,000 would be three quarters of a page for every $100,000, or at least 11 pages of text.  The plan probably needs to be no less than about 8 pages of text, even if the loan is less than $1,000,000.  

Even for someone new to the industry a business plan for a car wash purchase, or for a purchase and modest refurbishment, is usually brief - normally only about five to ten pages of text.

If you decide to do your loan through us we will provide you with a detailed car wash business plan outline for your type of car wash and for your situation.  If you are concerned about whether or not you might be able to get a car wash loan, we recommend that you NOT do anything more than a one or two page business plan summary until after we have "pre-qualified" (or "pre-approved") you for your car wash loan.  We can "pre-qualify" you for the financing before you spend your valuable time to do a complete plan.

If you need to prepare a full business plan we can help you to include only the essential information.

The business plan outline that we will provide to you covers all of the important points and JUST the important points that you need to include in your plan.  Our car wash business plan outline allows you to complete your business plan without wondering just what to put into the plan - you won't experience "writer's block".  This easy-to-use business plan outline will help you to avoid frustration and will save you considerable time.
