Answer me the following question before I'm allowed to guide you.

1) Location
Have you found any suitable place to setup your car wash?

2) Partners
Are you going to do it alone? or ask your friend(s) to joint venture with you?

3) Capital
How much you have to spare if you tend to start this biz?

4) Why do you want to stop your current job? Is the pay too low? Or you are no interested in your current job? Or others?
*
1. Still searching the suitable place.
2. It's going to be family business.
3. 15k capital as starting.
4. I'm no longer put any interested to work for other people.

thank you smile.gif

Before you start this, I suggest you go and wash your car(s) everyday to find out every possible details/trade secret that you need to know about this business. You can even ask the workers there where to find workers that will become your workers.

The following steps for you to follow through:

1) Find a suitable place. Hows the traffic flow there? Is there sufficient car passes by? How muh is the rental for the place (This is the most crucial in car wash as rental is normally the big chunk of meat been biten off by your expenses.)

2) Find workers. Advertise on streets or etc. Or just go to some agents and find some indo worker (cost you a lot).

3) Go to your local council to apply for business license a.k.a. trading license.

4) Find suppliers to supply you shampoo and machinery.

5) Advertise and start your business.

There are alot of details for you to follow up, but this is just the basic guide line for you to follow through.

Nice guide.
I have a problem to understand point no:3,
Local council = majlis perbandaran (something similar)
Is it true?

for the rest of point, I think I can handle it.
