Car Washes financing
Tunnel, land, and equipment first; memberships ramp after.
An express tunnel is a ground-up capital project — site, building, and wash systems all paid before the first car rolls through — while unlimited-wash membership revenue builds month by month after opening.
The financing reality
Your money moves on a cycle. So should your capital.
An express-tunnel build — land, building, and wash equipment — commonly runs around $3,000,000.
A typical situation, not a quote.
