A mate wants to start a small hand car wash business. He wants to use a run down garage as the location as that's what other hand car wash business use in his area.
But he cant just go there and start the business. So how then?

why not approach a local (large) car park?
Take up 10-20 spaces, pay the council for those spaces each day and offer a valet service inc free parking.

Theres a little more too it, than just getting land if he wants to start a proper business. He would need to do everything legit, ie. register the business, pay tax on his earnings, get insurance incase he damages a car while washing it and probably loads more.
He might have more luck, doing a door to door service.

And along side what Murray said, in a static public place, a lot of councils will want to see him actively trying to recycle his water.

And adding to what Rich has said, he will probably make nothing anyway considering there is one of these places on every corner these days.

No but if you want to do it properly and by the book then you should. Same if I get a unit. And people who have those sorts of cars and go to those sorts of places obviously don't give a fcuk
will_doyle - If it's actually you, why the hell did you find it necessary to claim it's a mate who's interested?! And doing it for a whole day, day in day out is a bit different to washing your's or your mum's car

I would fucking love to see Will Doyle set up a car wash.
A special kid with a bucket and sponge is not a car wash.

tbh I skipped over this thread, after the betting and drinking thread I thought the title read 'how about getting laid?'

It's a serious question which doesn't need piss take answers or images like that. If you would like to edit I'll not need to ban.

hand car wash? are you an immigrant lol?
You need permission of the land owner to use the premesis and you will need some form of public liability insurance in place too. Also you dont need to become vat registered unless you take in more than £6000 a year.

Went past the best car wash I've ever seen in my life the other day, by tunnel road for those in Liverpool, 2 Nigerian fellas with the smallest BnQ type jetwash, a bucket and sponge with a big sign up saying "professional hand car wash", love it.
