Franchise Clearly
Serving Orange County, FL
5 Step Franchise Resale Program: Buying/selling a business can be a very complicated process. We simplified the process into 5 easy steps. Our role is to guide all parties through the business sale process from start to finish. We provide all parties free guest access to our patent-pending 5 STEP RESALE PROGRAM: a defined resale program used to effectively educate and efficiently communicate each step of the business sale process (eliminating surprises). Without this process, units are slow to sell or even close down and bring down the overall team. With the help of FRANCHISE CLEARLY, I assure you we will make the process as smooth and efficient as possible.

FAQs
How much does it cost to buy a car wash in Florida?
The cost of buying a car wash can vary significantly depending on the location, size, and profitability of the business. Based on our most recent analysis of car washes listed for sale, the median asking price is $749,000.
How much do car wash owners earn?
Florida car wash owners' earnings vary, but the median reported revenue is $513,850, with owner earnings at $120,035 annually.
How do I value a car wash business?
Valuing a car wash business involves a multitude of factors, but most buyers and sellers will start by assessing its financial performance and comparing that to its peers in the market. Valuation multiples help compare similar businesses with different revenue and earnings levels.
As of our most recent analysis of asking prices in Florida, car wash revenue multiples range from 1.87 to 4.62, with the median at 3.00. Earnings multiples range from 3.32 to 6.12, with the median at 4.17. Using these values, the average car wash business in Florida might sell for 3 times its annual revenue and 4.2 times its annual owner’s discretionary earnings.
Keep in mind, asking prices tend to be higher than final sale prices, so these multiples tend to skew high. Real estate included in the sale will also drive valuation multiples higher.
