Instruction manual

1

Make a business plan for the car wash and carefully work out all its details. The demand for car washing and cleaning services is great, and there is great competition in this market - it is worth making a strategic miscalculation at this stage, and all efforts will go to waste. The most important thing is the choice of location and type (in fact - bandwidth) of the car wash, as well as the range of services that will be provided here.

2

Get a land plot in the place that you thought was successful (for example, on a major highway near the entrance to the city), draw up documents for the right to own it. Then get permission to build and equip a car wash here. Today, it is not required to obtain a state license for this type of activity, but you need to submit the car wash project to the city administration for consideration, and then coordinate it with a number of permitting organizations (Rospotrebnadzor, traffic police, technical inspections and environmental services).

3

Buy equipment based on the type and set of services of your institution. Manual "high pressure washers" (the most common in Russia) require simpler equipment, but more highly paid maintenance personnel. For automatic “portal” washes, more expensive and sophisticated equipment is needed, but less money is spent on wages for employees in an institution equipped in this way, while its transmission capacity is higher.

4

Organize personnel management at your car wash - this link in the work of the institution is quite significant. Given the specifics of the work, it is worth being prepared for a large "staff turnover" - new employees will need to be selected regularly. It is therefore advisable to hire a personnel manager (ideally - part-time accountant), who will be engaged in staff recruitment and HR management.

note

Always remember that "seasonality" in the auto-cleaning business plays a huge role - you must take it into account when drawing up a business plan.

Useful advice

It is better to entrust the preparation of documents necessary for obtaining permission to build a car wash to a third-party design organization - this will save you a lot of time.

The luck for the owner of the car wash will be the conclusion of agreements on corporate servicing of cars owned by organizations - and the larger the fleet of each of these organizations, the better.
