Buy A Highly Rated & Established Mobile Car Wash & Valeting Business.

Business.

We welcome The Smart Wash to the market.

The Smart Wash was founded by the current owner in 2016 when he identified a need in the area for personal car valeting and he had great plans for the business. Alas, the business is being sold, having been built to a position of:
- Nearly 2000 customers on Instagram, Tiktok, Twitter, YouTube, Facebook and Google (8.5* reviews) with a customer excel database to match.
- Current contract with ZipCar London cleaning their mobile fleet around London.
- A fully functioning and live subscription system.
- A bespoke built, mobile booking app which will be launchedSept 2022
- A fully functioning, bespoke built dynamic booking system(where appointment prices during peak hours automatically increase, for example, a Saturday morning may be 1.3x the price than a Tuesday afternoon. )
- Fully automated route planning system (where customers receive SMS updates automatically from the driver’s van as to when their driver will arrive)
- A dedicated office number – 0126.38,994 (where the drivers phones will ring first, and then the owner’s after, to give you the flexibility to focus on other tasks and a dedicated administrator managing the phones and bookings)
- A dedicated depot for the storage of the vans.
- Bespoke built interiors for the vans which is the same in both.
- a 10,000 word document on how to run this business including: how to train drivers, dealing with customer inquiries, maintain the system which has been built and a five year business plan on how to scale the business nationally.
- Documents, Powerpoints & videos which enable you to touse the current staff to train new employees for your business, giving you further flexibility to do other tasks.
- two Mercedes Benz vans which are owned outright and arestill under warranty (one has two years free servicing), these are tracked and fitted with dashcams to update customers and give the owner peace of mind.
- three Drivers which will be included in the purchase of your business.
- Contractual agreements with two other companies to funnel customers to the business, for example, one is a dealership where new car buyers are given subscriptions with the purchase of their new vehicle and another is where we fulfil appointments on their behalf, with a third contract in the pipeline.
- A live an up-to-date blog on our website, which feeds into our SEO strategy to assist in ranking the website higher on search engines like Google.

The business really is a great opportunity for a new buyer with all fixtures, fittings, staff and equipment included in the sale along with a bespoke booking system on the website which will automatically plan and dispatch routes to drivers and inform customers.

The current owner has spent a considerable amount of time and money on this business and as it is currently trading, you will be ready to go from day one.

Scope to Improve.

1. Advertising capital – we have invested in Google and SEO experts to build a bespoke system to allow the business to rank higher on google. These systems are built and just need capital to allow the adverts to have a significant digital impact.
2. Purchase more vans and employ additional staff members to grow the business. This is fine as we have built a system which we use to train our drivers, and another system which we use to allow our drivers to train other drivers.
3. Franchise the business, where you can have further peace of mind by having a franchisee expand in another area using the system, say Manchester.
4. Once expanded, employ a general manager to oversee driver & customer inquires and day-to-day of the business, giving the new owner scope to expand further.

Reasons to buy.

- Prime trading position in the UK’s most prestigious location, London.
