Where to start opening a car wash: required documents, land, connection to networks, obtaining permits. Three options for the technical organization of a car wash are offered.

 

Car wash as a business is not as difficult as it seems at first glance. After all, there are now plenty of mobile mobile complexes equipped with a full set of equipment that allows us to provide the maximum possible range of car washing and cleaning services. In addition, the good thing about a mobile car wash is that it can be installed in any convenient, or, more precisely, profitable place for this business. At the same time, its compactness and low cost make this type of business more accessible to a wide range of small entrepreneurs.

Speaking in simple language, it is enough to invest money in a mobile car wash once, promote it, expand the list of basic and additional services to the maximum and easily make a profit. But where to buy a mobile car wash, how to quickly collect a list of documents for opening it, and also get a stable influx of customers - read on.

Let's look at the key steps for opening a car wash based on a mobile complex.

Step 1: Solving organizational and legal issues

Almost all beginning businessmen at the stage of starting a business are faced with such a problem as collecting required package documents. If you approach this issue step by step, then this approach will save you a lot of time, money and nerves.

Individual entrepreneur registration

The first thing you need to do is decide on the organizational and legal form of doing business. And here there are two options: either you register as an LLC or as an individual entrepreneur (IP). If you are exploring the space of a small business for the first time, then it is better to register an individual entrepreneur, as this will save you from unnecessary red tape when preparing a package of documents for opening a car wash.

Tax system

And here it is better to make your choice in favor of the simplified taxation system (simplified taxation system). The fact is that the tax rate in the simplified tax system consists of two indicators: 6% of total income and 15% of income reduced by the amount of expenses. In this case, the taxpayer has the right to choose according to which of these two indicators the tax will be paid.

And here it is better to focus on the second option: 15% of income reduced by expenses, since in this case total amount tax if the business profitability is less than 60% (and the profitability of a car wash does not exceed 40%) will be less than the tax amount when choosing a rate of 6% of total income.

Note: Tax accounting under the simplified tax system is quite simple and, in fact, it can be carried out by the entrepreneur himself without the involvement of an accountant, but so as not to get confused in all the subtleties and features accounting We recommend using online accounting "My Business".

Required documents

When all the organizational and legal aspects of opening a business have been resolved, the question immediately arises: “What does it take to open a car wash?” And here the manufacturers of mobile car wash complexes solve some of the problems for you, since along with the equipment they can provide you with a certain package of documents. This includes the following car wash permits:

• All certificates relating to the equipment installed on the complex.
• Passport for the design of a car wash.
• Rejection letter for car wash design.
• License Agreement.
• Project Agreement on Ecology “Protection environment».
• Architectural coordination.
• Typical fire report.
• Standard expert opinion (SER) confirming the safety of technological processes for washing vehicles.

And it doesn’t matter from which manufacturer you purchase a mobile car wash. The main thing is that he must provide you with the above-mentioned package of permits and approval documents, since independently collecting such papers will take you several months.

Step 2: Select a plot of land

Your next step is land for a car wash. However, it is quite difficult to give you clear recommendations here, since everything will depend on specific situation, and there are only three of them:

• Purchasing a plot of land from a private owner.
• Lease of a plot of land from the state (subject of the Russian Federation or region).
• Sublease.

In this situation, sublease is the best option, since it is much easier, cheaper and faster to negotiate with the main tenant in the person of the owner of a gas station, parking lot or large shopping center than with representatives of local governments (Administration, City Government, Village Council, etc.). ).

Step 3: Connecting to Electrical Networks

The third step is concluding an agreement for connection to electrical networks. And although mobile car washes are equipped with generators, it is better not to miss such an opportunity as connecting to city electrical networks. Just permanent job car washes using only generators leads to frequent breakdowns and power failures, and also increases the cost of car cleaning and washing services.

Step 4: Connecting to water networks

The fourth step is an agreement for connection to water networks and, if necessary, a second agreement for the purchase of water. Despite the fact that most mobile car washes are equipped with a closed water circulation system, these contracts will still have to be concluded, since waste water needs to be discharged somewhere, including municipal solid waste (filters).

Step 5: Concluding an agreement for solid waste disposal

Step five follows from the fourth - this is an agreement for the disposal of solid waste (solid waste) and used water.

Additional Steps

The next two actions on your part may or may not take place, since everything here will depend on the specific legal norms in a particular region or subject of the Russian Federation. You may need:

• Permission to install a car wash structure at the specified address. This permission is required if you are leasing municipal land. It is taken from the Head of the Administration of the municipality, district, administration, etc.
• You may also be required to agree appearance car wash design, which must, according to legal regulations, fit into the features settlement. To obtain such a permit, you need to contact the local architectural authorities and provide them with several options for planning solutions, including a photo montage of the appearance of the car wash in relation to the area.

Final composition of documents

As a result, to obtain permission to open a car wash, you must collect the following package of documents:

• The entire package of documents related to the organizational and legal form of doing business. Simply put - documents for individual entrepreneurs and documents for tax registration.
• Permits and approval documents received from the manufacturer of the mobile car wash.
• A document confirming the ownership, lease or sublease of the plot of land where the car wash will be located.
• Agreement on connection to electrical networks.
• Agreements for connection to water networks and for the purchase of water.
• Agreements for the disposal of solid waste and used water.

Step 6: Final step: obtaining permission from Rospotrebnadzor.

And finally, when the entire package of documents has been collected, you contact the local authority of Rospotrebnadzor, which, based on them, issues you the following permit for a car wash: “Permit (IP) for the type of activity “Car wash” at the address: such and such a city, such a street - this, etc.”

Complexes of mobile car washes.

As mentioned above, many mobile car wash complexes are available for individual entrepreneurs. And below you will be presented with 3 options for similar equipment from leading manufacturers, which will help determine the final car wash cost and, as a result, find out a more accurate figure for the initial investment.

Option one

Option two

This option is optimal for those who want to try this type of business in their city and weigh the pros and cons. For these purposes, the Fortis company presents 4 sets of mobile car washes: model 111, 112, 211 and 212. Two of these models 111 and 112 are designed for washing cars only at positive air temperatures, the other two 211 and 212 - at air temperatures down to -15°C. That is, if you want to provide car wash services only in the summer, then pay attention to models 111 and 112. But models 211 and 212 can only be used from mid-spring to late autumn, because they are not suitable for working in harsh Russian winters. The minimum cost of mobile car washes of the Fortis company is 197 thousand rubles.

A distinctive feature of all these models is a set of equipment that includes an inflatable tent consisting of a pallet with inflatable sides. At the same time, all car wash equipment easily fits into truck medium tonnage and, if desired, can be transported from place to place, and its installation takes a matter of hours.

Option three

Choosing a location for a car wash

So, it remains to highlight one more of the main points of the car wash business - this choice of location.

At first glance it may seem that best place for a car wash these are busy roads. That’s right, but such places are only suitable for tunnel car washes with a capacity of 15 cars per hour or more, and a single-station manual car wash can pass through no more than 3 cars per hour, and then only if the washer is highly professional.

Simply put, you will earn little, since the majority of clients in such places want to quickly wash the car body, without any additional services. From which it follows that you need to look for a place with regular customers who value quality and are willing to pay well for it.

And here you should consider the following options: large shopping mall, parking and gas station. Ideally, each of these places should be located near residential (dormitory) areas, where local motorists will become your first customers. That is, a person will know that there is a car wash near his house, where he can leave his car and calmly go home, waiting for a call about washing the car.

People quickly get used to such a convenient location of the car wash, and if your service is at the proper level, then over time a whole line will line up for you and the car wash will take place by appointment. And most importantly, these are the types of customers who order more often than others. additional services, such as dry cleaning or polishing, which cost 2-3 times more than a regular body wash. Now we will look at them in more detail.

List of services provided

At the same time, I would like to draw your attention to the fact that the prices indicated below for car wash services were relevant in the fall of 2012 for the central and northwestern regions federal district.

Advertising

As soon as we open a car wash, we certainly shouldn’t expect a powerful flow of customers with folded arms. Here you will have to invest some money in its promotion. In addition to standard advertising such as banners, road signs, leaflets and booklets, the following methods will be extremely effective:

• Method one - free car wash! And in the literal sense of the word. For example, you put up a stand or banner with the following name: “From May 1 to May 5, washing any car is completely free!” Yes, you will lose part of the profit, but this pressing question: “How to promote a car wash” will be finally resolved. After all, you must agree, who would refuse such a service? Nobody! Of course, after the end of the promotion, some car owners will drop out, but those who remain will form the basis of your customer base.

• Method two - discount on all services up to 50%. For example, you advertise: “The last day of the month - 50% discount on all services.” This service will be especially relevant for dry cleaning of a car dealership and other expensive events. You can also issue coupons for a small monthly discount for regular customers. The discount is promoted using Internet coupon services such as Biglion, Grupon, Couponator.

So, you already know how to open a car wash, and the final touch remains - the quality of customer service and work with the car wash staff.

Staff

Under high quality customer service involves not only a job well done, but also individual approach to each of them. That is, it is much more convenient for a person to wait for a car wash in a cozy lounge, with hot and free coffee in his hands, while watching his favorite show, than somewhere on the street.

As for the service personnel, for a single-station car wash you will need only one employee. But even here, the search for such a person should be approached responsibly and not skimp on the salary. Immediately try to exclude such personnel as schoolchildren, students or visitors. By simply saving on their wages, you will end up losing even more, because such low-skilled workers sharply reduce throughput car washes, and the quality of service will leave much to be desired. In this case, it is better to set the fee at 30% of the cost of the service (washing the body, cleaning the interior, etc.), but to control the cash register, be sure to install video surveillance.

Do not forget that the stability of a car wash depends on how correctly the constituent and permitting documents are drawn up. In order to open a car wash, you need to prepare a package of documents.

First, you should determine which form of business organization you prefer. There are two options: register as an individual entrepreneur or register a legal entity. Carefully weigh the advantages and disadvantages of each option. Select the most suitable registration form.

The next stage consists of obtaining permits. It is impossible to open a car wash without them. First you need to get permission from local authorities. Write a letter of petition and submit it to the city or district administration. In the letter, state your request for the allocation of land for the construction of a car wash.

You will not receive permits without a car wash project. It is best to entrust its development to a design organization. The car wash design must comply with current fire, environmental, sanitary and epidemiological, and architectural standards. It must be agreed upon by all authorities. Be prepared for the fact that the development of the project and its approval will take some time.

As a rule, design organizations offer two options: project development and project development with approval. The first option is cheaper, but you will have to coordinate the project yourself and go through all the authorities yourself. The second option assumes that the coordination will be carried out design organization. Of course, in the second case you will overpay a little, but you will receive the documents much faster. Decide what is more important to you: saving money or high speed paperwork.

Visit the architecture committee, sanitary and epidemiological station. Be sure to go to the Departments of Environmental Protection, Fire Protection, and Occupational Safety and Health to obtain permits for vehicle washing services. This point is very important. If at least one conclusion is missing, the car wash project will not be approved.

In addition to all the above documents, you need an act for temporary or permanent ownership of land. The act is drawn up after the project is approved. The land will be allocated to you only after receiving of this document. You will receive a warrant for the construction of a car wash. After this, you can begin construction of the object. After completion of construction, city services must accept the car wash and issue the appropriate document.

Are you collecting documents to open a car wash and don’t know where to start? Do you want to know where and how to obtain the necessary documentation? We have prepared step by step instructions. Use it to quickly and without errors get necessary documents.

Read on to find out what permits are needed for car washing and how to complete additional documentation.

First stage: registration

The start will begin with business registration. Registration documents will be the first to open a car wash.

Organizational and legal form

Car washes are traditionally classified as micro-enterprises. The optimal organizational and legal form is individual entrepreneur and LLC.

We recommend choosing an individual entrepreneur. Why? Registration as individual entrepreneur it happens much faster and easier. She demands less financial costs. Individual entrepreneurs have simplified reporting. In a word, this optimal choice for those who have little experience in running a business.

But make a choice in favor of an LLC if you open a car wash together with a business partner. It is the LLC that provides the opportunity for co-founding.

Car wash: what is the taxation?

The choice of taxation system is yours:

• General taxation system - does not provide any privileges or preferences
• Simplified taxation system - consists of two possible rates, one of which you have to choose yourself: 6% of total income or 15% of income reduced by the number of expenses. As practice shows, the second option is more profitable
• Maintenance patent entrepreneurial activity- this system is available only to those who are registered as individual entrepreneurs. The advantages of a patent are that it exempts from payment of VAT, personal income tax, personal property tax and trade tax.

Washing: OKVED

There is no need to experiment and choose when choosing a classifier code. There is one code available for the car wash - 74. 70. 2. “Cleaning and cleaning of vehicles.”

Stage two: we coordinate documents for land and premises

Next, go to the territorial district government at the location of the car wash. You must apply for a site to build a car wash. After the municipality allocates the land, you sign a lease agreement with the land committee. In this case, you will receive it in your hands only after the project has been approved.

You will then be given clarification from the building committee regarding your further actions. You will need a pre-project plan, which includes a three-dimensional drawing of future construction.

When the committee decides that you can be entrusted with the construction of a car wash facility, you will receive the appropriate permission. After this, you must submit a complete project estimate. Develop it yourself or order it from a specialized company.

Stage No. 3: find out what permits are needed for a car wash?

Traditionally, permits are needed from the Fire Service and the State Sanitary and Epidemiological Supervision. To obtain a sanitary-epidemiological certificate, you will have to take a large package of documents. The full list is determined by Rospotrebnadzor order No. 776.

In addition, you will have to obtain opinions from the nature committee and the architecture committee.

Great news: certification does not apply to mandatory car wash permits. But if you wish, you can go through it yourself.

Fourth stage: contracts for connection to networks

For full operation, the car wash must be connected to water and electrical networks. The connection process is accompanied by the conclusion of contracts.

The good news is that this is an optional item among the car wash documents. But we recommend that you make a connection. Why? Thanks to this, the risk of operational failures will be significantly reduced and the cost of services provided will be reduced.

Fifth stage: preparation of additional documents for the car wash

On final stage To collect documents to open a car wash, you need to conclude an agreement for the removal of solid household waste and used water.

Don't forget about cash register equipment. You must register your cash register with the tax office and receive the appropriate document.

You will also have to notify the city Department of Transport and Communications about the start of work.

How to speed up the process of obtaining documents for a car wash

You have read the material and now you know in what order to proceed. Unfortunately, some difficulties will definitely arise along the way, and the process will be suspended.

To avoid this, you can as ready-made business! She will probably sell with all the documents and approvals.

Question:

What approvals and permits are needed to install the Mobile Car Wash complex in the city? What permits are required? Do you provide services for opening car washes? Is it difficult to get permission from city authorities for a car wash?

Answer:

The issue of the difficulty of obtaining permission from city authorities for a car wash is the most extensive, and we will start with it. In a nutshell, it is quite difficult to obtain permission to install a car wash (as an object), which is why we started creating a package of permitting and approval documentation, which we offer to our buyer when selling a mobile car wash.

Most main question- this is the land for installing a sink. And it doesn’t matter where exactly you are, meaning a region or a subject of the Russian Federation, if you have resolved the issue with the land, i.e. if there is a plot of land that is ready to be leased or subleased to you - with our package of documents you will agree on the Mobi car wash in the most short terms.

First, you need to pre-approve the installation of the "Mobi Mobile Car Wash" complex with local government authorities (Administration, Village Council, Administration, etc.). To agree you need:

1. Land use or land lease agreement;
2. Agreement for the purchase and disposal of water from the local water utility;
3. Agreement for connection to electrical networks;
4. Documents of your company: (LLC, IP, CJSC);
5. Our package of documents.

With all these documents (after installing the "Mobile Wash" complex), you will have to go to the local SES office to get a piece of paper: "Permission of an LLC (individual entrepreneur, closed joint stock company, etc.) for the type of activity "car wash" (or vehicle washing services) for address..."

When selling the complex, we attach a package of permitting and approval documentation. This maximum quantity documents that we were able to obtain for you, so that you could quickly agree on the installation of your car wash, but the fact is that we cannot obtain all the necessary documents for you, some documents must be obtained at the place of operation of the complex (with reference to the ground) . Here is a list of documents that we will provide you with when selling a car wash complex:

1. Expert opinion from the SES (standard) on the technology and organization of work processes for vehicle washing;
2. fire report (Moscow) standard;
3. architectural coordination;
4. ecology project "Environmental Protection";
5. all certificates;
6. design passport;
7. refusal letter on the structure;
8. license agreement.

The "Mobi Mobile Car Wash" complex does not need to be connected to a sewer system and does not need to be connected to water supply networks. In other words, the car wash complex is completely autonomous. You can use the complex both in fully autonomous and semi-autonomous mode - this is your right.

This means that the Mobi car wash can operate without connecting to water supply and sewerage networks, as well as to electrical ones, but.. it cannot do without water and electricity (as described on the website, in the section “Recycling water supply system”) .

Water supply and drainage are carried out using special vehicles: “Water truck” and “Vacuum machine”, respectively; Electrical supply is provided using a generator. All this is a completely autonomous option for using the Mobi Mobile Car Wash complex.

But, as practice shows, you are unlikely to work “in a field near a stream”; accordingly, somewhere nearby there will be water supply, sewerage and electrical networks. You are unlikely to be prohibited from using these benefits of civilization if you agree on this in advance.

There's only one controversial point- recycling of waste water from the circulating water supply system.

According to regulatory documentation, you can dispose of this water in a specially designated place equipped with high-purity treatment facilities. This can be done either by discharging waste water into the city sewerage system, having previously signed a service agreement with the city water utility, or, as mentioned above, by disposing of the water in a specially designated place, delivering it there by special transport.

As for approvals and permits for installing a mobile car wash in the city, it depends on the city. Today, to install a complex, for example in Moscow, it is enough to have a lease agreement for the land, or the territory on which you are going to install this complex, an agreement for subscriber services in the water utility ( we're talking about on the purchase of water and its disposal), an additional conclusion from the district SES on the type of activity at a specific address (based on our package of permitting and approval documentation), an agreement for the use of electricity.
Regarding the installation of the complex itself, we can report:

• if you are going to work on a municipal (city) territory, then you will have to obtain approval for the installation of the complex from the government of the district where you are going to do this. Other permitting documents, such as: conclusions of SES, architecture, etc. we will provide it to you;
• if the territory is private, you just need to have a lease agreement for this territory with the owner, and you can get sub-subscription services from him (the owner) (water, sewerage, electricity).

Well, accordingly, you need to have all the other documentation, a registered LLC, or another form of enterprise, in order to have the legal right to engage in this type of activity, just like any other.

Many people think about opening a personal, profitable business. The main factor leading to the birth of an idea is the desire not to be subordinate to other people. The development prospect seems simple, but there are many factors that can stop the process. Choosing a direction is the first thing a future entrepreneur faces. Finding out how to open a car wash and make a fortune will require effort, nerves and time.

The relevance of opening a car wash

The relevance of opening a car wash lies in increasing the number of cars on the country's roads. According to latest research The average family has about 2 cars. Every car owner loves his car and wants it to look presentable. Cars are washed regularly, and, as practice shows, most people prefer to carry out the procedure at specialized car washes. Many consider car washing to be a seasonal job. However, dust settles on cars in the summer, road salt in the winter, and dirt in the spring and fall. Therefore, the season is all year round. The answer to the question of whether it is profitable to open a car wash is obvious.

With a manual wash, 4 to 6 cars can be serviced per hour. The average payment for washing the body is 300 rubles, vacuuming the interior is 100 rubles and dry cleaning the interior is 4500 rubles. Revenue for the month will be about $8,000. If we take away the costs of rent, staff salaries, technical needs, public utilities, it turns out net profit about 2000$.

Features and stages of opening a car wash

Once you are convinced of future successes and acceptable results, you should think about what you need to open a car wash:

1. Creation of a car wash project, in the event that construction will take place. The project is required to obtain documents permitting the construction of a building or work premises. It should indicate the layout of the building and territory, the location of the equipment, its characteristics, and the required energy capacity. It is necessary to clarify services from additional municipal services.

2. Find a place and premises. Main stage. The number of clients, their income and the businessman’s profit will depend on the location. The optimal solution where to open a car wash will be a building near the road in a densely populated prestigious area, or at a gas station. The number of competitors is preliminarily determined. The fewer there are, the better.

3. Obtaining permission to open a car wash. How to open a car wash without approval from the relevant authorities? No way. Required if a building is being constructed according to a pre-certified design.

Opening our own car wash

Purchase equipment. To wash a car, special equipment of high and low pressure. Services include pre-washing the car with spraying softened detergents cold water under high pressure. Afterwards, using brushes, wash with hot softened water and detergents. To wash off all the reagents, ordinary water under high pressure is used. Glass cleaning is done with demineralized water under low pressure.

5. Purchase cleaning equipment. According to sanitary and epidemiological standards, the car wash system must be connected to cleaning equipment, which will allow saving on used water resources, comply with environmental legislation.

6. Select personnel. You won't be able to turn your plans into reality alone. No special skills are required from hired workers. Basic knowledge of automotive mechanics is desirable.

7. Services must be provided around the clock in order to obtain maximum profits. This will require about 6 people and one foreman. Students can be hired. Payment is set within 20-40% of the work performed per standard working day and is divided among workers. I washed more cars - I earned more.

9. Open a car wash. The most pleasant moment. Is it worth opening a car wash without the presence of representatives of local authorities, acquaintances, and friends at the opening? It is possible, but it will not bring initial popularity. For promotional purposes, several officials' cars should be washed free of charge.

How much does it cost to open a car wash?

Having considered the stages of creating and opening a car wash, the desire to open this organization increases. But, no matter how beautiful everything is in theory, the need for investment cash no one canceled. There is a logical answer to the question of how much it costs to open a car wash.

Rental costs are regular and depend on each specific case. The following one-time costs should be added to the rental:

• High pressure water supply equipment, designed for one post - $550 - $1250.
• High pressure heated water supply equipment - $1600 - $3100.
• Used water purification equipment - $4500 - $6500.
• Vacuum cleaner and washing vacuum cleaner - $350 - $600.
• Compressor - $200-$450.

Owners of car washes in our country give preference to imported equipment. The main supplier of quality equipment that will serve long term, is a German company Karcher.

In addition, equipment from Italian and Danish manufacturers is used. Domestic equipment is in demand only as a treatment equipment.

Consumables include shampoos, polishes, products chemical cleaning, cleaning the engine, bumpers and rims. Monthly expenses for servicing 25 - 35 cars per day will be about $300 - $400.

Important for starting your own business

For beginners, when opening a car wash, the main difficulty will be the question of choosing a place to build a building, since many bureaucratic procedures related to coordination complex issues and obtaining various permits from the relevant authorities. The process may take a long time and will require an investment of about 3 million rubles. For this business the best option There will be a choice of ready-made premises for rent.

An important point when deciding where to open a car wash will be taking into account the requirements of the SES and the authorities. Placing car washes within 70 meters of residential buildings is prohibited.
