We have two LLCs structured like you to limit risk and liability. Unless you are going to try to sell the business without the property (very hard to do) I do not see the benefit of paying rent as you file everything on a Schedule C personal income tax form. What am I overlooking?

Has anyone used the new hydrominder systems for ultra lean use that KR is recently promoting? Looking for any feedback on them. The traditional tips for the 506 model, esp the smaller tips, get clogged with too much frequency. Thx...

I have seen an Open air tunnel in Europe. If I can find the place online I will post but Europe is more innovative at times than the USA wrt car washing.

Remote controller or CryptoPay Attendant card.

How does a virtual terminal get associated with your CryptoPay account?

You are probably right. I know of a few SS/IBA that probably produce $1M, and more that probably do $500K+ but still not at the Express level. I do hear about many Express tunnels that lose money on revenue of $1M so it is not a slam dunk for sure.

From a purely financial perspective (cash flow) why should Express Washes sell for 10x and a high performing SS/IBA sell for 5x when both might have the same (or close) operating income without the numerous employee headaches?

Express washes are hot now. Many are selling for 10x gross as there is a lot of private equity money chasing them. Perhaps you look for a SS/IBA model.

5x property would be if real estate is included. 2x-3x is more appropriate if just buying the business and paying rent. Make certain you have a long term lease as you will find it hard to resell if you lease term is short.

Maintenance menu or in the winter controls you can push button for front or rear door down or you can use I/O forcing. WW can help you. If machine does not power back on properly that would be more of a concern as something is not right with the wiring. This sounds very odd as WW does a lot...

No idea as I do not have the new prices. You can ask them but really does not matter now unless you can talk them into using the June prices. Often they tweak prices of a few components or make something that was once standard an optional add-on. A less in your face way to raise prices.

The date given to me by WW is the day it leaves their WI factory. They usually ship on Fridays. In all cases we received the truck the following Monday. No idea if we were lucky or just that we are in MD and WV so an easy drive from WI. Hawaii is probably a greater challenge for any...

If you want to sell you should get 5x gross since equipment is new and updated.

Floor heat lines should be zip tied to the rebar. You can get heat reflector material for underneath the lines too. Adds a bit to the cost but saves you fuel costs when system is run.

We ordered a Profile in June and have a ship date for mid September. Shipping can be immediate or take time as it depends on the trucking companies and their routes. The truck has more than just your profile on it and they want to drive a full rig. We have j stalled 3 Razors and each took...

And you want a good base under the concrete. We used crushed stones under a 6” concrete with rebar and floor heating. I think the pitch to the pit is 10 deg. If you are pouring new floors I would add PVC for the foam brush and wand holder to drain directly into the pit. Cuts down on the...

Land comps. Check to see if you can find local land sales for an identical type of parcel. Might be higher than anything based on financial multiple. based on the financials he can ask for 5x gross revenue especially since the equipment is new. But given the unsolicited nature of the...

We power wash our doors and never power down our Razors. Not necessary. If you power down the machine it is odd that it would not boot back up after being turned off. Call WW as that issue is very odd.

Anyone have a solid DECAL printer? I have tried StickerMule, VistaPrint, and one other whose name eludes me. Cannot find a company who can make decals that look crisp and last. A few recent threads showing meter boxes had some decals that seemed to look nice. Anyone have a good source for...

Steve, when I visited a site with the Profile and Power Towers they had the UC and Towers really close to the front of the bay so they could get the towers closer to the cars without the risk of the brushes catching on them. You have a 48' bay, I would think you could get them close to the...
