Thanks Ron, See Ya! in March.

Hi everybody, I appreciate all your feedback on starting my company in the middle of winter. Collectively me and my family have over $80,000 to start a business, for the last 12 years all I have ever wanted to do was start a pressure washing company in the Denver metro area. We used to have a successful mortgage company in the Denver metro area; nowadays it’s really hard to be successful in the mortgage industry, so I suggested that we start Rocky Mountain Mobile Wash. I just didn’t want to be stupid and start this business at the wrong time of the year. Years ago when I was a kid, my mother owned a concession trailer in the Fort Lauderdale, Florida area. Every weekend we used to go down to the beach and sell slush to the beachgoers, this business was very successful we were making over $10,000 a month working part-time. But when the government told us we cannot sell our drinks anymore we had nowhere else to go, so we sold the trailer. Recently in March 2006, we went on vacation to Mexico we found this little undeveloped town in Mexico. In their off-season get three cruise ships a week, in their high season they are getting over 14 cruise ships a week. Originally we were going to take our money and start a business down in Mexico but we felt that it was the wrong time of the season to start this business. November starts their high season, so we are going to take our money and purchase a concession trailer and start this business in Mexico selling slush, hamburgers, hot dogs, fresh cut French fries. Then in March 2007 I will be coming back from Mexico and start my business in the pressure washing industry. I really appreciate this form and I appreciate your feedback I was very nervous in starting this business in the middle of winter, my family was also very nervous. Money is really hard to come by and we did not put our money in an investment that would not return the amount of money that we are wanting back. See Ya!, in March. Thanks Sam Carducci.

Ken in Colorado it cost me just $125.00 to trademark my Name, and Logo. I enclosed my trademark so you can see what it looks like, I when down to the Secretary of State office and filed it with them. it took less then 20 minute from the time I parked my car till I got back. Well worth it, I design and built my logo my self and I wanted to protect it! Talk to later, Sam Carducci. Trademark.pdf

I don’t understand! Why does winter scare contractors away? Now please keep in mind that I am in my start-up phase still and will be launching my business this winter. My equipment that we our purchasing is: one 20 foot trailer with two 8 gpm @ 3000 psi hot water, two anti-freeze tanks, two chemical tanks, 4 wands, 4 hose reels, and altogether over 800 foot of hose all quick connect. Plus we are purchasing a 40 foot bucket truck. Now with a rig like that, how could I not try to work thru the winter and build my business? This month I am going to Florida for classes in pressure washing for PWNA, when I come back I will be finalizing my advertising and will be booking clients for November. My goal is to hire a full time sales staff to do commercial flat work contracts, plus hitting up Real Estate agents for a curb appeal package on their listings. Plus reduce fees for homeowners to do home and flat surfaces as well as wash their decking & fence. Please tell me if I am wrong in trying to think I will be very successful this winter when, from the sounds of it I will be the only pressure washer in the Denver Metro Area working with my four man crew well everybody go into habitation till spring 2007. The way I am looking at it; is that everyone will be in habitation till spring 2007. I will be building a solid business and be adding trucks and building my commercial business so that I will have two shifts running an almost 24 hour operation, so when spring comes around I should be ready for the huge home show to show case our wood restoration! So bring on winter, I am ready!

Hi everybody, I was interested in finding out if anybody has legal contracts and legal forms that your customers can sign before work begins. The kind of stuff like when a carpet cleaner comes to your home and has you sign and approve the terms of service before any work gets done. Also when you go to a mechanic, you sign paperwork stating they are not responsible for damage or theft, etc. I am still in my startup phase with my company and really need some help or direction to fellow, any help would be great! Thanks, Sam.

Looks very good, I do web and graphics design as well. I am just starting my business and still have a lot of work to do. Thanks for sharing. Sam Carducci Rocky Mountain Mobile Wash, Inc.
