Production plan

A business plan for opening a car wash must begin with the choice of location and arrangement of the premises.

Where is it profitable to open a car wash from scratch?

The best places: at the entrance to the city (drivers want to wash the car after a long journey or before a trip), near border and customs posts, near gas stations, parking lots, car services. Alternatively, a place in a densely populated residential area is suitable. Such a point will serve mainly regular customers. Being located near a large shopping center, you can count on visiting the owners of expensive cars. The clientele may be smaller, but the average bill is higher.

The establishment must be located at least 70 m from residential buildings. Important condition- the service is located near major roads, should have good entry / exit and parking spaces.

Requirements for the premises

If the rented facility has not previously been used for a car wash, you will have to take care of arranging the sewage drain, because the water consumption at such an enterprise is very high. Ideally, the drain should lead to the central water supply, otherwise you will have to design a sewer. Such works cost from 700-800 $.

We calculate costs based on the fact that a building with an equipped drain system is rented. Other room requirements: waterproofing and thermal insulation, good lighting.

An example of space distribution: the service consists of two boxes (width of each is 4 meters, length is 6 meters, ceiling height is 3 meters). These are universal sizes that allow you to equally service cars and trucks. The remaining 12 sq. m - waiting area for customers. The administrator works here. The required area of ​​the site adjacent to the sink is from 30-40 sq. m.

If you rent an almost finished plot with an asphalted entrance and all the necessary communications, the monthly fee will be about $700-800. Approximately $ 2,500 will be required for cosmetic repairs and additional insulation from moisture.

Technical base

Our car wash is focused on manual labor, such equipment is cheaper and pays off faster, especially in small towns.

Necessary car wash equipment:

1. High-pressure apparatus with water heating (two pieces) - $ 1200-1300. It is worth buying two devices of different capacities. One for light pollution (capacity 400-500 l/h) and one more powerful (800-900 l/h). The best manufacturer is Karcher;
2. Professional vacuum cleaner for dry and wet cleaning (two pieces) - $ 1000. Elsea, Nilfisk-Alto, Baiyun;
3. Two foam generators - $650. PROCAR, Karcher, AE
4. Chemical cleaning apparatus - $ 150. Karcher;
5. Treatment plant - $ 1200-1300. AROS, Aqua;
6. Small inventory (trolley for tools and detergents, scrapers and brushes, napkins, rags, scoops, brushes, gloves, etc.) - $ 100;
7. Auto chemicals (car shampoos, windshield washers, glass cleaners, cold and hot wax, polishes) - $ 150.

The price of a set of equipment for washing is around $ 4,500.

What do you need to set up a waiting area? Reception desk with telephone and computer, sofa, 4 chairs, coffee table, LCD TV and vending machine with tea and coffee. Or you can offer coffee to customers for free as a bonus for ordering.

But installing a vending machine will allow you to earn additional funds from visitors waiting in line. A used machine from the Necta, VendShop, Saeco brand can really be purchased for $ 1200-1300. Arrangement of the foyer will require an investment of $ 2,500.

Services and pricing

We form an approximate price list. Each service is slightly different in price, depending on the type of car. Main list:

• Full body wash (with foam and drying) - $ 4.5-5;
• Express body wash (washing dirt without drying) - $ 3-3.5;
• Regular cleaning of the interior with a vacuum cleaner, washing windows and door trim - $ 4-5;
• Washing the engine and engine compartment - $ 5-7;
• Washing and cleaning the trunk with a vacuum cleaner - $ 3-4;
• Blackening the bumper and rubber - $ 3-4;
• Body polishing - $ 7.5-9;
• Body treatment with liquid wax - $ 3-3.5;
• Washing of all glasses - $ 3;
• Washing wheels with drying - $ 1.7-2.3;
• Dry cleaning of rims - $ 2.1-3;
• Removing stains from the body (bitumen, traces of insects) - $ 3-4;
• Polishing discs - $ 3-3.5;
• Carpet cleaning - $ 0.8;
• Cleaning the interior from fur and animal hair - $ 2.6-2.8;
• Seat cleaning and conditioning - $ 2.5-3.3;
• Interior dry cleaning - $ 62-92.

organizational plan

There is one worker for one car, two workers are required for two posts. The optimal work schedule is two days later. You will need to hire six washers, an administrator, a cleaner. Accounting is outsourced. Monthly salary fund - in the region of $ 3200.

Marketing strategy

In addition to a bright sign, you should get a pavement sign with a road sign to the car wash. It is put on the street during the operation of the institution and does not require approval from the authorities, like outdoor advertising. Its cost is about $60.

You can put up a road sign indicating the direction of travel and the distance to your service. This requires agreement with the traffic police (in particular, justification according to the traffic pattern in the selected area), and the manufacture and installation of the sign costs $ 150-200.

Sales promotion

To attract new customers and acquire regular customers, you need to develop discounts, offer promotions and discounts. You can offer any service as a gift to the main set (for example, blackening of rubber for orders over $5). Offers such as “Every fifth car wash as a gift”, “25% discount on all work on the last day of the month”, etc. work well.

Really in the early days attract attention with signs from the category “We are open! 50% discount on car wash!”

A start-up business can get visitors thanks to gift subscriptions for small services, such as cleaning the trunk, windows, rugs.

Financial plan

Let's calculate how much it costs to open a car wash and how much you can earn. It is necessary to draw up a financial plan taking into account possible unforeseen expenses.

Capital expenditures:

1. Paperwork - $ 1200;
2. Repair - $ 2500;
3. Rent for three months in advance - $ 2200;
4. Purchase of equipment and furniture, appliances - $ 7,000;
5. Signboard, investments in advertising - $ 300;
6. Unforeseen expenses - $ 500-700.

In total, a turnkey car wash for 2 posts will cost about 14 thousand dollars. Monthly expenses consist of utility bills, rent, purchase of auto chemicals, salary payments and amount to about $ 4,500.

Decide on profit calculations. Two posts for a 14-hour working day are able to serve 50-55 cars. The average check is $4.5. The monthly revenue of the car wash is approximately $7,000. Additional income in the amount of $ 200-300 will bring a coffee machine. Net profit - in the region of $ 2800.

This is a detailed description, with minimal cost. The project pays off in 7-8 months and starts to bring a stable income. It is realistic to increase profits by opening an additional post.

It is always necessary to keep the car clean, regardless of the time of year and weather conditions. This is an axiom that does not require proof. The annual increase in the number of cars on Russian roads creates favorable conditions for the development of the car wash business. The demand for these services is steadily growing. But which particular car wash to open depends largely on the future plans of the businessman and his financial capabilities.

There are several types of car wash services.

• Portal and tunnel - washing machines is fully automated.
• Manual - the car is washed by the car wash personnel.
• Open (self-service) - the motorist independently washes the car using the provided funds.

A self-service car wash is a set of equipment that can provide high-quality and safe car washing. The entire set of equipment in such a service (vacuum cleaners, dryer, guns that supply water and foam) is characterized by maximum simplicity.

Each client can intuitively understand for what kind of work and what to use. Consequently, self-washing the car for any car owner will be a quick process, and moreover, more profitable. And this is a high-class result for less money.

How do you wash your car at the car wash?

Practical and thrifty customers just need to pay for the service and take some actions

1. Wash with warm water and powder. In this case, dirt is removed (this is done by contact or non-contact method).
2. Wash using cold water. The resulting foam is washed off.
3. Wax application. This procedure will give the car a shine.
4. Polymerization. It will not allow water to leave streaks on the surface of the car.

Russia is famous for its frosts, so in winter, entrepreneurs may have a question: what to do with liquids that are prone to rapid freezing?

1. First of all, The self-service car wash must be equipped with a floor heating system, which is laid directly under the cover. It is a pipe through which flowing warm water circulates. At the right time, the gas (diesel) boiler is turned on, after which water heating starts in the system. Thus, the coating does not freeze and is not covered with ice even at the time of washing the car.
2. Secondly, for washing, you need to choose devices equipped with devices for the constant movement of water. For example, guns that supply water under high pressure. In such a technique, even when it is not used, water still flows, but in a small stream - it passes through the accumulator, then it is filtered and again passed through the gun. As a result of the continuous circulation of liquid through the freezing chain, there is no water in the guns.

In order to estimate the cost of building a turnkey self-service car wash, you need to consider all the key stages of this process and summarize their costs.

• Purchase, delivery of equipment and treatment facilities

Equipment for this type of washing is ordered in Europe. The best option for a big city is a car wash with 6 posts, the average cost of which does not exceed 9,500,000 rubles. The buyer pays for the delivery, which is at least 375,000 rubles. The cost of purchasing treatment facilities will not exceed 1,000,000 rubles.

• Acquisition or lease of land

Each businessman solves this question in his own way. Someone concludes a contract for the lease of space with parking lots, hypermarkets or shopping centers. Others decide to purchase state land. This type of business will require an area whose size ranges from 150 m² to 650 m². At the same time, in the first version, the activities for the preparation and approval of documentation (permits, connection of all communications, and so on) will be about 1,000,000 rubles, and in the second - more than 3,000,000. The price will also be affected by the region of the country, the location of the site and others factors.

• Construction works

The construction budget may exceed 4,000,000 rubles. These costs will include excavation and laying of communications, installation of underfloor heating and highways, concreting and asphalting, installation of metal structures, installation of treatment facilities and, of course, landscaping of the surrounding area.

• Installation of ordered equipment

As a rule, 10% of the total price of equipment is spent on its installation and launch. In this option, it turns out 950,000 rubles.

• Advertising

This item is not as expensive as all the others. The minimum set of promotional activities will consist of an advertising frieze around the entire perimeter of the car wash, several banners with instructions, a pair of signs or signs located at the entrance to the car wash. With a reasonable approach, spending will not exceed 100,000 rubles.

As a result, taking into account all the above costs, the approximate cost of building a turnkey self-service car wash will cost not less than 19,000,000 rubles.

Where to buy the necessary equipment in Moscow and St. Petersburg?

The question of purchasing the necessary equipment for car washes, where customers serve themselves, is quite natural.

Most of this equipment is imported from Europe. There, this type of entrepreneurship is widely developed, so the production of all the required devices has been established. Many European companies have a network of direct dealers in Russia. Directly contact them and you need to contact for procurement.

We must not lose sight of the fact that customers are primarily attracted by high-quality equipment. Since the car wash business is only gaining momentum in Russia, there may not be firms in small towns that can equip a car wash with decent equipment.

However, there are enough such organizations in Moscow and St. Petersburg. They offer devices with maximum functionality and full adaptation to the climate of our country.

In addition, recognized leaders in the production of washing equipment, such as Karcher, NERTA, Kranzle and others, sell through official online stores.

Prices for car wash equipment designed for self-service customers are quite high. Still, you should not save on equipment, since frequent breakdowns can reduce the quality of service, reduce the flow of customers, spoil the reputation of a car wash, which, of course, significantly reduces income.

If we are to save money, then it is more expedient to buy a less functional and without additional options, but still a reliable device. In the process of expanding the business, you can purchase more modern equipment.

The approximate cost of a set of equipment for frame self-service car washes for 6 posts varies within 100,000-130,000 euros. Naturally, the euro exchange rate, or rather its fluctuations, will significantly affect the purchase price.

Business plan for opening a new self-service car wash from scratch

Consider a business project for a self-service car wash of 2 posts with an area of ​​90 m² (60 m² for two posts, 30 m² for other premises) with an adjacent plot of 90 square meters.

The amount of one-time costs will be 1,662,000 rubles, it will include a number of items:

• purchase of equipment - 720,000 rubles,
• installation of equipment - 72,000 rubles,
• summing up additional electrical power, water supply and drainage - 270,000 rubles,
• works on the improvement of the adjacent territory - 150,000 rubles,
• renovation of premises - 180,000 rubles,
• obtaining permits - 270,000 rubles.

Monthly expenses - 780,000 rubles, they include:

• labor costs - 270,000 rubles (a total of six employees working in three shifts of two people),
• the cost of renting the premises, taking into account utility bills - 120,000 rubles,
• other expenses - 120,000 rubles.

Estimated Profit Calculation

The service operates around the clock, but its maximum load falls on the period from 8.00 to 10.00 and from 17.00 to 22.00. And in the remaining time, the workload is 20% of the maximum.

It takes an average of 20 minutes to wash a car, which means that 3 cars can be washed in an hour. Therefore, the number of cars passing through one post per day is calculated as follows:

3 * (2 hours + 5 hours) + 3 * (24 - (2 hours + 5 hours) * 20% = 30 cars

Every day, two posts will be able to serve 60 cars daily, and they will wash 1,800 cars a month.

The average price of a body wash is 500 rubles. If we also take into account additional services (body polishing, interior cleaning, etc.), then the average bill of each client will be 600 rubles.

1800 * 750 = 1,080,000 rubles per month

After deducting monthly expenses and taxes, the net profit will be 235,200 rubles per month. The project will pay off in seven months.

Buying and Selling a Franchise Business

Car washes, where customers can service their cars themselves, are a new profitable way to invest. Since this segment of the market in our country is still at the stage of formation, those who wish may well have time to take the most promising places, build car washes on them and thereby “skim all the cream”.

Investing in a car wash business can be equated to investing in real estate - reliability and legal security based on the right to own or long-term lease of a land plot and on documentation agreed with the authorities.

However, the profitability of a car wash is several times higher than from the acquisition of apartments or premises for offices. A businessman who owns a self-service car wash does not spend much time managing his business. This business has certain features that allow you to control all the processes of activity.

Franchising is an advanced way of managing a business. The franchisor, for an agreed fee, “hands over” to its partners (franchisees) the right to use the brand, and also provides them with a proven and reliable business management methodology.

There are several principles behind a successful car wash franchise.

• Franchising must be relevant and timely.
• Extremely simple business organization.
• Timely delivery of consumables.
• A well-thought-out business strategy for further development.
• Unique business concept.
• Attractiveness of the enterprise for investors.
• Availability of support from the state (at the moment, various innovative enterprises are subsidized by the Ministry of Economy of the Russian Federation).

Adhering to the franchising system, an entrepreneur buys a franchise, and also receives information about the amount of necessary financial investments and an established procedure for doing business. This method, despite the presence of risks, provides a stable income and increases the profitability of the business in comparison with the option when you start your own business from scratch.

1. According to statistics, out of 100% of car washes opened from scratch, only 20% continue to work after a year.
2. The picture is different with car washes opened under franchising agreements: out of 100% after three years, 80 remain afloat.

The time when there were several cars in the courtyard of a high-rise building, and each of its owners could afford to wash it on their own, has passed. There are more cars in the yards, and there are fewer places for them. They can afford to wash the car themselves, perhaps, residents of private houses and small towns.

But this is not the main thing. It's one thing to fidget with a rag and a brush, and another thing when a powerful mechanism is taken for cleaning. The difference in this car wash is palpable. It's the same when compared to car maintenance. It is much easier for a driver to contact a car service than to repair a breakdown on his own. Therefore, along with a car wash, the current investment will be which you are looking for at the link.

What does a car wash do, the advantages of such a business

The car wash allows you to quickly wash the car both outside and inside. With its help, the driver significantly saves time and effort to put his vehicle in order. And in many cases this is just a lifesaver.

Whether someone is in a hurry for an important meeting and doesn't want to show up in a dirty car, or is returning from a trip out of town, a car wash makes it possible to get the vehicle in order very quickly. One way or another, if the driver does not have the opportunity or desire to bother with cleaning the transport, he has the opportunity to use the car wash.

The advantage of organizing this business is a good profit. A modern car wash that provides quality services allows its owners and employees to receive a regular and high income.

But this does not mean at all that the organization of this business can be approached carelessly. Like any profitable business, it requires close attention both at the start and in the process of all activities.

Including the choice of partners is very important. The history of each new partner must be carefully checked. This can be done in various ways, including via the Internet, knowing the "Main State Registration Number" can be a legal entity.

Organization of a self-service car wash

Car washes can be of different types. Not so long ago, self-service car washes began to appear on the territory of our country. Every driver can use its services, the car is washed quickly and it is inexpensive. In this case, the driver himself can choose any of the options offered. If he wants, he can simply wash the car from the outside, or not only wash, but also vacuum the interior.

Self-service car wash is in high demand. Those who want to start a business with them will have to spend a lot at the initial stage. But its advantages are obvious both for the owner of the car wash itself and for the owners of the machines.

First there is no need to hire staff. The maximum who is needed is a cashier. This means that the human factor in business is reduced as much as possible. Drivers, on the other hand, get the opportunity to personally carry out cleaning in their own car using professional equipment. They will do this more accurately, avoiding scratches and damage, and several times cheaper than in a conventional car wash.

Brief analysis of the industry and its development trends

Despite the growth of car washes and the emergence of their varieties, the niche cannot be considered filled. Yes, those days are gone when a queue of a dozen or more cars lined up at one car wash. But to say that they are idle is impossible.

In order to be convinced of this, watch several car washes for a while - the day is very busy for the staff. You can also organize a mobile car wash, there is practically no competition in this area. You can learn more about how it works in the following video:

The short time that happens between servicing cars is used at the car wash to provide related services. For example, for washing carpets.

Target market analysis

As mentioned above, the number of cars in our country is growing every year. In the last 12 years alone, cars on the roads have tripled. And the trend continues to grow.

And as the number of cars increases, so does the demand for related products and services. As for car washes, demand is growing not only for them, but also for their options: automatic tunnel and portal type, self-service, as well as hand washes.

There is also a seasonality in demand for car wash services. During rainy and slushy periods, demand increases greatly. This happens in autumn and spring. Lines of cars line up outside car washes. But in winter and summer, when it is dry, the demand for these services drops sharply.

Competition and risk assessment

Before you start investing in this business, find out the real state of affairs. Answer the following questions:

• how many cars are in the area where the car wash is planned to operate;
• what is the solvency of car owners;
• whether they have an alternative to the services they provide.

For example, you want to open a car wash in a small village. Salaries are below the national average. In addition, the mass car enthusiast in this village prefers to wash his four-wheeled friend in his yard. It is possible that this idea does not make sense to implement here.

Before choosing a place for a car wash in any area, determine how many such points there are in it, and how busy they are. If there are queues, feel free to put your point.

Conclusion on the profitability of opening a car wash

The profitability of a car wash reaches 50%, which is a very good indicator and allows you to make serious investments in your business. But this is fair, there is a place chosen correctly, the car wash is open seven days a week, from 08.00 to 22.00 (23.00).

It has at least two working posts, each of which serves 20-25 cars a day. At the same time, the average check fluctuates within 500 rubles. Net profit will be at least 300 thousand rubles.

We propose to consider another profitable business - the opening of a waste processing plant. It is important to know that the state and various funds subsidize part of the opening costs, because these plants fit into the city's development strategy.

Calculation of approximate costs for starting a business

The first thing you will have to spend money on is the room. There are different approaches. Some recommend renting with the right to purchase, others advise buying immediately, receiving a loan from a bank for construction. There are arguments for both. Renting allows you to reduce initial costs at the start.

Construction of premises on credit imposes an obligation to make monthly payments on the loan, which are comparable to the amount of rent. Only over time you get this room in private ownership, and the lease does not give such a right.

If you take a room for two boxes, then it should be at least 90 square meters. The cost of its acquisition will cost 2-3 million rubles.

Having decided on the building, take care of draining the water. To do this, you need to purchase a water purification system, the cost of which ranges from 200 thousand rubles. It is not recommended to save on it, since this is the first thing inspectors from the authorities pay attention to.

There is a water drain, you need water itself. It can be obtained either from the city water utility or make your own well. In the first case, you will have to pay 3-5 thousand rubles for water consumption services every month. In the second case, you need to pay 50-80 thousand rubles once, and use water for free.

Washing equipment will cost 150-200 thousand rubles. Add to these costs advertising services of 20-40 thousand rubles and another 10-15% of total costs. The total amount of expenses is from 2.5 million rubles. Thus, with a profitability of 50%, it will be possible to recoup the costs in 10-14 months.

How to start a business from scratch?

First of all, you need to register as a private entrepreneur. You can register as an individual entrepreneur or a limited liability company. The first is acceptable in that it requires the collection of fewer documents. The next step is to define the system of taxation. It is recommended to choose the method of subtracting 15% of the amount that remains after deducting expenses.

You need to collect the necessary documents:

• certificates for the equipment installed at the car wash;
• passport for the design of a car wash;
• architectural coordination;
• license agreement (for mobile car washes);
• refusal letter for the design;
• standard expert agreement on the safety of washing technological processes; project agreement on ecology;
• typical fire report.

After that, proceed to the selection of a land plot for washing, connect to the electrical and water networks and conclude an agreement for the disposal of used water and municipal solid waste. This adds the following documents:

• agreement with the city water utility;
• an agreement on connection to electricity networks;
• an agreement on the lease or ownership of a plot of land where the sink will be;
• disposal agreement.

As soon as all the documents are in hand, it remains to apply with them to Rospotrebnadzor, located in the place, which will issue a permit.

Banners should be placed near parking lots and gas stations in the area where the car wash is located.

If you have noticed, then in order to obtain permission from Rospotrebnadzor, you will have to collect a considerable package of documents. This is very exhausting, so it is better to use the services of law firms that will do this tedious work for you. Leave the promotion of services to yourself.

Step by step plan to open a car wash

In our country, the number of car owners is growing from year to year, and the demand for car wash services is growing accordingly. The number of middle class people who are the main customers of car washes is also growing. These are mostly middle managers and entrepreneurs.

Our car wash will be located in close proximity to a gas station with a large flow of cars. This is a very good location, so the organization does not need additional advertising. The population of the area where our car wash will be located is about 30 thousand people.

The closest competitors are at a respectful distance. There is no such object within a radius of 500 meters.

The presence of two boxes for washing a car will allow you to avoid a long queue and, accordingly, exclude the possibility of a client leaving for the nearest competitor. Let's move on to calculating the estimated revenue of the organization.

It is assumed that the average passability of the car wash will be about 30 cars per day. That is, 15 cars for each washing box. With an average check of 350 rubles, daily revenue will be about 10,500 rubles, per month - 315,000 rubles.

However, take into account the seasonality in the car wash business. The peak of revenue occurs in spring and autumn, and the decline begins in summer and winter:

Monthly revenue by periods will be:
