    Home Based Legitimate Detailing Business?

    LLC is likewise cheap... I think. It's less than $200 and that's thru the online registration, I bet it's cheaper if you go directly to the Secretary of State. Insurance... I think I pay about $30 each month for $2m general liability coverage. I didn't get the garage keeper as I don't keep the...

    Blackfire si02 spray after 2 months

    Though you can to prolong the protection, learned that topping using an SiO2 sealant on top of a polymer sealant won't dramatically increase the protection for to bonding issue. I don't know the cost benefit of that situation whether you just keep topping up with the SiO2 or the polymer spray...

    Taxes

    For mileage, QuickBooks self employed thru phone app tracks it for me. You'll just have to classify business or personal once tracked. Per my accountant, mileage recorded here also adds anything to do with your vehicle (ie maintenance, gas, depreciation, etc). It averages out compared to...

    Accounting Software

    I think it depends how big the business is. Mine is pretty small right now and the software that I use tracks mileage, classifies my expenses for me (with my preset rules), issues invoices, receipt and accepts payment, linked to my business account, and my CPA has access to it. This works for me...

    Questions About Car Wash Bucket Kits

    Agree with this. It's like "Gary Dean" non rinseless wash way. No grit guards. Just one wash bucket with at least 6 wash mitts. Sent from my Mi A1 using Tapatalk
