New Investor Initiative: Not Just For Beginners

27/06/2025 by Australian Car Wash Association

Thinking about entering the car wash industry — or refining your business model as an experienced operator?

ACWA’s New Investor Initiative offers a powerful suite of tools designed to make planning, forecasting, and structuring your wash business easier and more accurate than ever.

COMING SOON and available to all Members the toolkit includes:

  • Business Planning Handbook — A comprehensive, plain-language guide that walks you through market research, site selection, financial forecasting, staffing and more.
  • Business Planning Tool — An interactive form that helps you generate a complete business plan from your input. This tool does most of the heavy lifting — just plug in your figures and watch it build a draft plan you can refine and present.
  • P&L Template — Designed specifically for car wash operators, this Excel-based profit and loss template is tailored to include all relevant income and expense categories.
  • Cash Flow Template — A practical tool for forecasting inflows and outflows, helping you assess when and where your business may experience tight patches.

Although initially developed for prospective investors, the toolkit also offers value to experienced operators looking to review their financial assumptions, prepare documentation for lenders, or reassess the performance of an existing site.

ACWA members – watch for the email announcing the toolkit is available so you can log in and download the resources.

Questions? Email the ACWA office for support.
