Hey guys. I'm drafting a business plan and have a question. I'm currently working full time in a corporate job, but really feel that my passion lies within automobiles. I have been doing a lot of research into going pro with my detailing. If my wife and I decide this is what we plan to do, we are going to move to a larger city where she will work full time and I will work part time and detail part time until I can go full time with detailing.
My biggest question is in regards to start up costs. Been reading Renny Doyle's book, and I agree with one of statements he made. In today's world, it is almost impossible to start with a bucket, soap, and some wax. To me, doing a professional job requires that I have all the supplies I need from the get-go. Steamers, extractors, generators, pressure washers etc. Well, I don't quite have $15k sitting aside for all these supplies etc.
What would you guy's advice be? Should I try and get a small business micro loan, personal loan etc?
The issue with a bank loan however, at least for my bank, is that they don't really provide loans to someone working part-time (which I will be when I first start.)
Any suggestions, advice, or comments you guys provide in the way of startup are much appreciated! :D
