As the old saying goes “when one door closes, another one opens”. In this case, the door is closing for me and opening for you with an opportunity jump start a Soft Wash business and do it “ On the Cheap”.
If you’re on this Bulletin Board and preparing to launch, here’s your opportunity to be up and running and earning money quickly. This is a turnkey opportunity to buy a complete Soft Wash package and be generating revenue with a much smaller investment and shorter start-up time.
If you’ve researched starting a Soft Wash business and want to do it RIGHT you’ve realized that there’s a lot more than just buying a pick-up truck, a Soft Wash Systems Cradle Skid and chemicals…a lot more!!
You’ll need a name for your company, a logo, a website, email addresses, a Google Adwords campaign and a phone number. Then you’ll need graphic design for business cards, flyers, door hangers, yard signs, invoice forms, to give your business credibility and make it stand out. After they’re designed, you’ll need to have them printed.
Of course you’re gonna’ need a pick-up truck but don’t even think about wasting money on a beat up, rusted out, dented heap of junk with bald tires and a Bazillion miles that’ll break down on the way to your first job. Show some CLASS!! You want a low mileage, smooth running late model truck with an eye-catching full wrap so when you’re drivin’ down the road, your phone will start ringin’ and it’s the guy behind you calling to ask you to come over and look at his ugly roof and give him an estimate. It’s happened that way for me many, many times.
Of course you’ll need a Soft Wash Systems Cradle Skid with a new 12v pump and a dependable power system. Mine has two high capacity marine glass mat batteries and Stealth Dual AC/DC charging system . And yes, you’ll need ladders, hoses, quick connect fittings and nozzles and brushes and hose end sprayers and all kinds of stuff that they sell at Home Depot or on Amazon that really adds up at the check-out register.
Now you probably will want to be able to sell window cleaning too because it’s a nice add-on profit to a house wash job so you’re gonna’ want a Grafter carbon fiber water fed pole and DI filter system. And, let’s face it, you’ll need a pressure washer with a good surface cleaner for some jobs.
OK, so by now, you’ve probably invested close to $60k to get your company up and runnin’ and you’ve invested a month or two putting all this together. Now, it’s gonna’ take more time for your marketing and advertising to kick in before you have enough work coming in to pay the bills and put food on the table.
So now here’s the thing…you can spend about half that money and be generating revenue much, much quicker. And here’s how.
This is a turnkey business opportunity. What does that mean “turnkey opportunity”? It means you get the business name, the logo design, the phone number, the truck which by the way is a 2008 Ford F-250XL Super Duty 4x4 extended cab with an 8 ft. bed and full eye-catching custom advertising wrap with less than 47k miles. You get the Soft Wash Systems Gen II cradle skid with a brand new FloJet pump, a 12 volt Stealth charging system in an aluminum truck box, ladders, hoses, a Husqvarna pressure washer and a Hammerhead surface cleaner…..and much, much more. This will have you up and running in a few days instead of weeks or months. You’ll get a company “Employee Handbook” and “Operations Manual” and don’t think for a minute that these are just extra fluff items…these are important documents that your company will need to operate. They will guide you and your employees in what is expected of them in day to day operations. Plus you’ll get training materials to train your employees in techniques, protocols and safety procedures.
This business is currently located in the Metrowest area of Boston but could be moved anywhere in the country. There is no address for the business on any of the printed materials, just the phone number which is a Google plus number.
Why am I selling my business after 2 seasons? I have some health issues and I need to cut back. If you’re genuinely interested, PM me and I will respond with a detailed list of everything included in the package. I am also willing to help a new owner get started by sharing the experience I’ve gained from doing hundreds of Soft Wash jobs. This equipment is in excellent condition since it’s only been used for 2 seasons. The price is $29,000. When you add it all up, you’ll see what a tremendous value to anyone looking to get into the business for short money.
