Fixed costs, unpredictable weather

A car wash carries heavy fixed costs. Water, electricity, chemicals, equipment upkeep and attendant payroll keep running whether the week is sunny or stormy. Revenue, on the other hand, can swing hard with the forecast. Working capital is a lump sum that covers those operating costs through the gaps, so a rainy stretch does not force you to delay maintenance or cut hours right before conditions turn.

It also gives you room to act when an opportunity shows up, like a fleet account or a nearby competitor closing.

Where working capital goes

How we review a wash

We look at about three months of business bank statements to see your deposit pattern, how much weather moves your revenue, and what obligations already come out each month. The amount depends mainly on those deposits and obligations, within our range of $25,000 to $5,000,000. FICO 500+ is considered, we begin with a soft credit pull, and no tax returns are required. Sole proprietors can apply.

Choosing the right structure

Working capital suits a clear, defined need. For needs that come and go, a line of credit for car washes lets you draw as required. If card sales dominate your revenue and you want repayment tied to them, see our merchant cash advance for car washes. For equipment, equipment financing is usually the cleaner match.

Before you accept

Your offer shows the full repayment amount and the repayment schedule before you accept, and there are no surprise costs after you sign. Check it against your slowest weather month. When it works, apply in about five minutes.

Frequently Asked Questions

What does working capital cover for a car wash?

Day-to-day operating costs such as chemicals, utilities, payroll, routine maintenance and marketing. It keeps the wash running through uneven weeks.

We are a self-serve wash with mostly coin revenue. Can we apply?

Yes, as long as the revenue is deposited into your business bank account so it shows up in your statements.

Is there a minimum revenue requirement?

We do not state a hard revenue minimum. We work with established businesses that show steady deposits.

Do you need tax returns?

No tax returns are required. About three months of business bank statements and a short application are what we review.

Funding can arrive in as little as 24 hours for qualified businesses after the offer is accepted.
