    First time buyer--- need help estimating gross revenue.

    Who, in 2023, does not keep financial records? Come on! Who would think it's ok to sell a business with no income and expense records and taxreturns prepared by a professional accountant? This is a huge red flag and I would not consider this seller as credible. If it is a deal for 'land...

    Razor - Stop Eye Fault

    It's got to be something simple like the photo eyes, the cable, or the connection. What you are describing sounds exactly like the problem I had and once I changed my set of photo eyes the problem disappeared.

    Fire alarm panel monitoring for apartment building

    hi everyone. One of my apartment buildings requires a monitored FIRE ALARM panel system. I had one installed a couple years ago and the electrician set it up for the company that he is familiar with for the monitoring. It's not a huge expense but seems like a lot to me for what you get...

    Starting a carwash business

    besides asking a question on this forum, what research have you done on your own? I personally researched the heck out of the car wash business before I jumped in. I went to work for a car wash chain that was outside my area so I could learn. Maybe you can do that too. To answer your question...

    Kleen-Rite Chemicals

    New Display for Laurel 3 Column

    I understand the philosophy of getting your moneys worth out of some thing and I definitely have. But the practical part of me can't make sense of throwing away a perfectly good door that looks and performs like brand new just because a rectangular window for the display is a little too small...

    PreSoak streaking

    If it were me, I'd have my distributor or chemical rep come out and titrate / test / adjust. Is your water heated and softened? Were your results good when the machine was initially set up? If so, what changed? Did you experiment with more or less chemical? Adjust dwell time? Turn up water...

    2 IBA'S, one paystation???? Does anybody do this.

    just because something can be done doesn't necessarily mean that it should be done. I think you guys are asking way too much of the customers as far as their ability to use the equipment properly. I always try and keep things very simple and not confusing for the customers and I can see this...

    New Member Looking to buy a self serve car wash

    It's easy to get the tax assessed value. As far as income verification, you do that by looking at 3 years income tax returns for the business. Car washes typically sell for 3-5 x gross revenue. But that's a guideline and you want to consider many more factors in determining the feasibility of...
