The Business           

With over 30 million cars on the road in the UK the market is phenomenal! There’s only so much wash and vacuuming you can do to a vehicle and at some point it will need a professional valet. Wash and Vacuuming is not our business, we leave this to the ever-increasing static operations popping up. Our average price is around £65.00, which commands a service such as ours!

The cost of the AutoValet Direct® franchise package starts at just £7,500 + VAT with bank finance available, (subject to status).

In addition to this you will need to finance the following:

Vehicle - Our franchise network operates from liveried vans in order to promote the Autovalet Direct® brand and build customer awareness, you have the option of new, pre-owned, financed or purchased outright. However, the vehicle must meet our specifications as the equipment and fitting have been designed for specific brands.

Equipment and vehicle fitting - £5,695 + VAT - The Autovalet Direct® vehicle is a purpose-built mobile vehicle valeting unit fitted in Kent by our specialist fabricators and coachbuilders, robustly constructed and specifically designed to deliver the best quality valeting needs efficiently, speedily and profitably. With ample storage capacity for generating hot water and the storage of chemicals, valet bay and equipment, productivity is exceptional and multiple valets are facilitated without returning to base for replenishments. Essentially every aspect is tried and tested, reflecting the substantial depth of practical experience and expertise gained over many years.

Working capital - Like all businesses however, you will also need to have additional funds in reserve (which you’re prepared to use – if the need arises) as working capital and for marketing, and other general office set-up expenses. This depends largely on your own personal skills, expenses, needs and goals – and how big or quickly you’d like your business to grow. Before you begin trading we will discuss your aspirations for how quickly you wish your business to build from day one, and the availability of funds to finance this. Once we’ve had an initial meeting with you we would discuss this in detail and help you plan how you're to finance your business.
