Do you live in Indiana? Are you looking for a small business to run; one, which is simple and easy to operate? If so, I sincerely hope all is well, in the Great State of Indiana and I have an idea? Have you considered starting a mobile car wash business, in which you would be the sole proprietor?

When is the best time to start such a business? Probably in March as the weather gets better. Not in October thru February, which I would say is a bad time to consider such a launching date, as the mobile car wash business would have issues with weather that a busy season fixed site car wash would not. Generally you run into problem with water freezing at under 17 degrees even with continuous flow or bypassing in pressure washers system. Even if you heat the water, at 12-degrees, the towels freeze to the windows and the soap makes ice-sickles.

It you were in the Southern part of Indiana, you might be able to get away with starting late in the season, but could expect at least 22-35 days of inclement no-work weather. Which is tough on a fledgling business, when you need the revenues to drive your business into profitability you see?

There are no franchises you can buy in the United States to start such a business, but there are a few companies which sell equipment. My company in fact is not selling franchises right now as we are enjoying the ability to keep all the money for our company and avoid the litigious-ness of the franchising industry. By setting up our own units we can avoid the brain dead regulators who think they know about business and free enterprise, most of which have an axe to grind on society. Probably because they have never worked an honest day in their lives and spend more time at the coffee machine than actually working.

With that said, no you cannot buy a franchise from us, and there are no mobile car wash franchises in the United States to my knowledge. There is one in the UK and one in Australia, but I am pretty sure none have registered or notified the State of Indiana to sell franchises there. You see the State of Indiana in all their glory in sports and auto racing is a pathetic excuse a free market model and thus for franchising of a mobile car wash operation. In fact if you are Black and attempt to run a mobile car wash business in Indianapolis, it is said that the iron fist of the law will come down on your business. The City of Indianapolis came down hard on mobile washers after the fixed site businesses complained they were taking away their business and were allowing wastewater to enter the storm drains. There are several news articles on this, as the State of Indianapolis does treat black Americans as secondary citizens and the record speaks to that point.

Whenever you start your own business, you need to know the truth and looking into the business climate and regulatory abuse before you sign the dotted line for a loan to go into business, think on this. The state of Indiana is a loser for a small business in my opinion.
