Which idea do you think would work better or any other similar small business ideas?
Minute Man asked:
Me and my friend have thought of two ideas, and can’t fully decide between these two ideas for a small business. Either a car wash where we would find 10 to 15 cars a week to clean, set it up so we would just come clean each of them each week for $50 – $75 for a full inside and outside detail or have a lawn mowing business. Any other similar ideas? We just want something for and hour or two a day on regular days and up to 6 hours on saturday.
Not sure if I mentioned it very clearly, it won’t be a full time thing, just after work during the week and on saturdays.

I think it will be easier to get work from the lawn mowing business. But the cost to run that will be more expensive than the car detailing – which is also a good idea. Good luck

The better long term business option is the lawn service. The house never moves, and the customer doesn’t have to be home for you to perform the service (you can bill or collect later). Grass grows no matter what, especially as you approach and get into the summer. Community deed restrictions require that the homeowner keep their lot cut.
The startup cost to begin a lawn service is 1 lawnmower and trimmer. Continuing costs is fuel.
Costs for a car wash detailing service depends. Hose, cleaning supplies, sponges, rags, a buffer, wax.
If you can, start trying to do both. Which ever you like or the one that takes off, you continue. There are pros and cons to both.
