Step 1
Decide on the room. You can find out about free space and the possibility of buying or renting at the local administration. The location should be selected based on the actual size of your start-up capital and the expected range of spare parts and consumables. It is better if the place you have looked after is located near a car wash, a service station, a garage complex.

Make a business plan. Its main goal is to attract investments or borrowed funds through loans. This document is also necessary in order to coordinate a permit for carrying out entrepreneurial activities with state bodies. A business plan must certainly contain such sections as marketing research, the cost part, a feasibility study (feasibility study), economic efficiency, payback calculation (this point is especially important for lenders and investors), etc.

Take care of the legal aspects. The local administration and the tax office will give you a list of the necessary documents to be drawn up and collected. All documentation must be approved and certified by officials.

With all the documents and a business plan, go to the bank, or to an investment fund or a leasing company (you make the choice in favor of one or another source of financing). Think in advance about collateral, since it is almost impossible to get funds for a business without collateral (especially if it is a startup).
