Do you like automobiles? Imagine, if you had a car detailing (car valetting) service, you would get a chance to be around automobiles all the time. And not merely any old cars either. People with scruffy old cars tend not to spend money on having them cleaned, so what you would typically be encountering would be the latest models, top of the range and classic or even vintage automobiles. Does that sound more interesting now?

Cleaning cars for a living is not a particularly strenuous job, but you do have to have an eye for detail. You will get to know the different models and how and where to clean them, but you will probably have to learn those details as you develop.

Or you could go and work for someone else for six months in order to get some experience and save some cash to put into your own business once you are set to open one.

Experience and some savings will definitely go a long way in helping to persuade a bank manager to lend you some start up capital, if yo are a bit short of ready money. It is worth giving this aspect some deep thought before you rush out and buy a rechargeable autovac.

So, let us assume that you have some money saved and that you have worked for a professional car valetting company for a while and that you have written down the names of the best equipment and that you have learned how to use it.

The next stage is to decide whether you are going to valet the cars where the owner of the car wants you to do it – ie at his home or outside his office or are you going to require him bring the car to you or will you collect and return it?

If you have a lot to clean cars on, all well and good; if you are going to collect and return the vehicles, you will probably need help; and if you valet the car off-site, then you will need a van kitted out with everything you need to do a good job.

If you have to borrow money, why not go to friends and family for a loan or a partnership before going to the bank? Someone may give you a loan, if you give their kid a job. That could work out fairly well.

If you need to go to a bank, get advice on how to put your proposal in a manner that will show the bank manager that you have studied each aspect of the auto detailing trade and that you mean business.

The final step is finding customers. This need not be such a hurdle. You can offer to detail the cars of your friends and family cheaply if they make some sort of effort to promote your business to their friends and colleagues. You can also put a small advert in the local paper with a coupon code giving 10-20% off if used before so-and-so date.
