Industry Overview and Startup Costs

The mobile car detailing industry is a thriving one, with the global market size expected to reach a whopping $42 billion by 2025. That's a lot of shiny, dirt-free vehicles! As a mobile detailer in the Sunshine State, you'll be competing with the likes of professional car washers who moonlight as secret agents and detailers who can make a car look so good, it makes onlookers weep tears of joy. To get your business rolling, you'll need to invest in some top-notch equipment, like a trusty power washer that can blast away grime with the force of a thousand angry hurricanes, and a high-powered vacuum that can suck up even the most stubborn crumbs from the deepest crevices of a car's interior. Expect to shell out around $20,000 to $50,000 to get your mobile detailing empire off the ground.

Licenses and Registrations

As an entrepreneurial detailer in the Sunshine State, you'll need to take care of a few important administrative tasks before you can start scrubbing and shining:
  • Business Registration: You'll need to register your business name with the state of Florida, either as a sole proprietorship, partnership, or limited liability company (LLC). This will help establish your legal identity and protect your brand.
  • EIN (Employer Identification Number): This unique tax ID number is like your business's social security number, and it's essential for opening a business bank account, filing taxes, and hiring employees.
  • Sales Tax Permit: As a mobile detailer, you'll be providing a service that's subject to sales tax. You'll need to obtain a sales tax permit from the state of Florida to legally collect and remit sales tax on your services.
  • Local Business Licenses: Depending on the city or county where you'll be operating, you may need to obtain additional local business licenses or permits. Be sure to check with your local authorities to ensure you're in compliance.

    Create a Marketing Plan

    Now that you have set up your accounts and obtained insurance, it's time to create a marketing plan. Marketing is crucial for any business to succeed, and auto detailing is no exception. You need to promote your business through various channels such as social media, word-of-mouth, and flyers. You can also partner with local car dealerships and offer them a commission for every customer they refer to you.

    List of Equipment and Supplies

    Auto detailing requires a specific set of equipment and supplies such as high-pressure washers, wax, cleaning solutions, and microfiber towels. You can find a comprehensive list of equipment and supplies on our site, along with approximate pricing for each item. The startup costs for an auto detailing business can vary depending on the location and size of your business, but you can expect to spend anywhere between $5,000 to $10,000.


    To limit any liability for debts or civil actions arising out of business transactions you may want to set up an LLC or form a corporation. Most sole proprietors or sole owner LLC need to pay self employment taxes. To avoid paying excessive self employment taxes you may want to for an S corporation which can help you split your salary with dividents and save on taxes because dividents are not subject to self employment taxes. Though a sole proprietorship does not need a federal tax ID number a partnership does. A partnership also needs a fictitious business name to operate as well as a partnership agreement. In general an LLC or corporation has more prestige and credibility as a business entity company than a sole owner or a general partnership. So if you want to be taken as a bigger company or more credible one you may want to set up an LLC or incorporate.
