Company Summary

3.1 Company Owner

Rosneik Carwash Company will be owned and operated by Jack Rosneik, who has been serving the automobile industry throughout his professional life and has grown up in a family related to the automobile industry. Jack did MBA from Harvard University and has been involved in his family’s automobile parts manufacturing industry after completing his studies.

He has worked his way through the organization for more than fifteen years and had been serving as the Chief Operating Officer for the last five years. Under his leadership, the company expanded tremendously and grew to become one of the leading companies in the US.

3.2 Why the car wash business is being started

Jack aims of building a car wash business totally relying on latest technologies hence completely uprooting the traditional car washing systems. He had been working on the idea of starting a car cleaning business for quite a time until this year, when the Rosneik group finally decided to open car wash facility as a part of their expanding program.

3.3 How the car wash business will be started

The start-up cost for Rosneik Carwash Company will be born partly by Jack Rosneik from his earnings and shares in the family’s automobile business, and partly by Rosneik Group. The selected site on the 8th avenue of Manhattan will be leased for minimum 3 years in December 2017, with an option of increasing the lease duration for another 3 years after the initial period.

Although Jack has been dealing in the automobile business for more than 15 years yet he has not much experience in the car wash business plan which has different demands as compared to his previous business. That is why Jack has built a professional team which will not only guide him through all stages but also helps him to set up an efficient system that will ensure high-quality service even during the peak hours.

Jack has hired graphic designers to develop company’s logos, brochures, and flyers; marketers to market their new brand on various platforms; lawyers to get help in the lease and all legal activities; contractor to procure various equipment and facilities needed for the service. The selected site was formerly used as an automobile repair facility so a lot of work is needed to incorporate all necessary systems for hosting carwash and detailing facilities.

The location’s rent has been decided to be $1,800 per month after negotiations. In addition to rent, the amount of insurance covering the car wash business plan is approximated to be $300 per month which will be paid each month by direct debit. The equipment, bought by initial investment, includes a cash register, three computer terminals, four high-power water pumps, and four industrial vacuum cleaners and will depreciate over next three years.

Jack has forecasted following costs for expenses, assets, investment, and loans for the Start-up.

    Note

    5.1 Marketing Segmentation

    Our car wash business plan is specially made with a view to facilitating all types of car owners; whether they are private owners or large-scale car dealers, our car wash business model is made for everyone. The washing and detailing requirements vary for different types of car ownership that’s why we have created several car wash business plans for every type of car owner.

    Rosneik Carwash Company is mainly an automated service but a unit will be allocated to serve the needs of those customers who prefer manual hand wash as compared to mechanically automated wash. Our business plan for a car wash will target following types of customers.

    Car Wash Business Plan - Marketing Segmentation

    5.1.1 New car owners:

    Landlord Business Plan Writing

    New car owners are very conscious about their cars hence they prefer hand car washing services on a regular basis. These customers are generally proud of their zero meter cars and they want their vehicles to look good in front of others. Our aim with new car owners is to make their cars look new again, and thus build long-lasting relationships with them on the basis of trust.

    5.1.2 Sportscar owners:

    Many people, often young and middle-aged men, in the neighborhood of our service center, own expensive sports cars. These people will need our services to maintain the exquisite looks of their expensive vehicles at least once a week. These cars require a special focus on detailing as compared to other types of cars.

    5.1.3 Luxury car owners:

    Luxury car owners have totally different requirements to maintain their high-end expensive cars and keep them in the best possible shape. A majority of people in Manhattan possess either new or second-hand luxury cars and thus bring their cars for regular washes. These customers prefer quality to cost that’s why we offer special premium packages for these customers.

    5.1.4 Lifetime owners:

    These customers have owned their vehicles for a long time, more or less like six to seven years, either due to attachment with their vehicles or due to their limited resources. In most of the cases, these customers do not require detailing services and just want their cars to look presentable and clean. These customers occasionally bring their cars for a wash, only when it is dirty that’s why we offer our basic package for them.

    5.1.5 Local businesses:

    Our service center will be located in the commercial hub of Manhattan surrounded by several companies and local businesses, most of which have fleets of small vans and cars. These companies require their vehicles to be clean in order to maintain their image and hence require cost-effective and efficient car wash service on a regular basis.

    5.1.6 Dealerships:

    There are six car dealerships within four miles of the selected location of our service center who will regularly require our car washing services. These car dealers require detailed cleaning service for their new as well as used cars to be put up a display before they are sold to customers.

    The detailed market analysis of our potential customers is given in the following table:

    5.2 Packages Pricing

    Rosneik Carwash Company will offer three packages for the above-mentioned customers, a basic wash package for $10, a standard wash package for $20, and a premium wash package for $30. Our target customers are generally wealthy thus they will not mind spending some bucks each week to have a quality car wash.

    Still, we have made a basic plan for price-conscious customers who are choosing the service only because they do not want to clean their vehicles themselves. We have also made special packages for businesses and companies giving them 25% discount on using our services for a large number of vehicles.

    5.3 Business Target of the Carwash Company

    Starting a business plan carwash is not difficult since everyone knows how to start a car wash business plan but to accurately forecast and analyze its every aspect is the really challenging part. After analyzing the customer demand, we concluded that the flow will be more in summer as compared to winter, and more in weekdays as compared to weekends. The flow was analyzed to specify the business target of our company and to deal with all customers even during the busiest hours.

    Business owners and most of the community (new car owners) are very busy people; hence they will come at their own preferred hours for a short time.

    Retired people and some residents (luxury car owners) will need a lot of time for detailed cleaning; hence they will make frequent visits during the week despite their work schedules.

    Local businesses and companies will need their fleet vehicles to be washed during the week during standard business hours.

    Dealerships will also need detailed cleaning services and hence they will visit at any time of the day for a longer duration.

      Initially, the Rosneik Carwash Company will hire two car wash specialists for manual washing service, two technicians to operate all equipment and machines and one administrative assistant to act as a receptionist and to help Jack in office work.

      Since the demand for car washing service varies each month so part-time workers will be hired to facilitate the customers even in the busy summer months.
