New Business

[MADPride]

I've decided to start a mobile business. I've always taken pride in my cars, I think your car tells you a lot about who you are and I've always kept my cars pristine.
I haven't ran a polisher but I do have excellent resources to teach me. Done it by hand for years but moving on.
Can I start a business with $1500? I have the vacuum and a steamer. I've been collecting micro towels for years but I've bought chemicals from stores not sites.
Any recommendations? I have an excellent job but my wife runs a daycare. I gotta get outta here.

1500 is more than enough man..... I started with WAY less than that and have a very successful company today (4 Years later). It all depends on your drive and willingness to build a reputable company. Goodluck man!

1500 enough, Now you need to come up with a plan. Also marketing is your key with low start up capital. Try to raise more capital by doing raffles, events and auctions.
IDK where you live but you need to consider your license and insurance first before starting.

I'm in Michigan. My insurance would be $879 garage keepers. I was gonna hold off until I was sure I could cover the costs. My window will be short here with the best part of season in the spring to cover start up costs.
I'm worried about my budget. I could just as easily piss away my start up investment buying stuff that I won't use. I looked into the GG6 with the smaller 3" combo kit but the people who will train me say to go forced wheel.
