Setting up your own valeting Co

Wondering if anyone can advise on starting up your own valeting company or buying into a franchise?
whats the cost of going alone as oppose to the franchise option @ about £10k. How hard is it to get work on a daily basis espec in the winter months.Better to have premises or be mobile or both. whats the best equip to buy, the must haves etc..
Any advice would be great as Iam thinking of switching careers as Its something i would like doing instead of having to do lol. :happy2:

Where abouts are you based Keith?  If you're far far away, we'll talk, but if you're anywhere near - our lips are sealed  :chicken:

keith:
Just outside Edinburgh.

Possibly not much chance of us being in competition then!!!  :grin:

We can help you with regards to what to buy and must-haves etc., but in terms of whether it's better to start up on your own or buy a franchise, we wouldn't really know about this as buying into a franchise isn't something we ever looked into.  As a company, we used to do wheel refurbishments and specialised paint jobs, but the passion was always for Detailing and the aim had always been to Detail full time, which is what we do now.

Have you got any of the equipment already, or would you be starting completely from scratch?

I have PC with a 110v set up, hallogen lamp, foam lance from yourselves :happy2:, small karcher and various products
so would need to buy a lot, been looking at van lease etc it all soon adds up, deciding wether an inverter or a petrol geny is best also, its harder than it seems  :laugh:
