How to start a mobile auto detailing business as a solo operator and grow it over time?

My goal is to start with a mobile detailing business that i run alone till it grows enough to hire employees and eventually grow into a structured unit as well as continue to offer mobile options. 

Its important to me to offer a low rate that affordable for all walks of people.

Everyone deserves to have a clean vehicle

    Awesome to see you want to start a detailing business! 

    I'd say if you're just starting, keep things very simple. Don't buy 100 different tools and products. Don't go out and buy a van with a $10,000 setup. Start with a few tools and products under $250 (depending what your budget is) and go detail your friends/family members vehicles. 

    Ask them to leave you a review on Google, get a ton of before/after photos, get content for social media, and ask for a referral! You can get a lot of momentum going with your inner circle!

    Let me know what specific questions!
