The Aircraft Wash Guys franchise can be mobile and/or fixed based. You'll be in business for yourself and you'll be loving it. It's hard work, but extremely rewarding and best of all it's fun. You'll be paid by your customers and you'll enjoy the satisfaction when you see a customer's face light up when your finished with their Aircraft.

Make no mistake, washing and cleaning Aircraft is hard work. As anyone will tell you at the FTC, there are no silver bullets or guarantees in franchising or any business opportunity for that matter. There is no such thing as a get rich quick scheme. This one included, running a small business, any small business takes savvy and hard work.

You may also wish to use this business as a way to "right off" hangar costs with the IRS. We appreciate that tax adverse attitude, but must insist that you have a manager in your employ to wash the aircraft at the airport for customers and to run a legitimate business. We need to extend our brand name and that means service aircraft owners, FBOs and flying clubs must be serviced to build our reputation by word of mouth. Franchise Fee is $10,000. Royalties are $ 300.00 per month per truck and $ 200 per month per 10,000 square feet of hangar space used in the business.

Option # 5

Co-Brand with another WashGuys Franchise Module.

We also operate;

The Car Wash Guys. www.carwashguys.com
The Detail Guys. www.detailguys.com
The Truck Wash Guys. www.truckwashguys.com
The Boat Wash Guys. www.boatwashguys.com
The Oil Change Guys. www.oilchangeguys.com
The Concrete Wash Guys. www.concretewashguys.com

Co-Branding with this option can be incorporated with any other option above. We can customize your franchise to clean rent-a-cars, shuttle buses, ground equipment or fleets. Items such as scissors trucks, air cargo trucks, crew buses and air freight containers within the nearby Industrial parks, generally at the larger airports. Such potential customers might provide a good market mix in times of downturn in the aviation sector (keep your fingers crossed). Also there may be opportunity with concrete cleaning, cleaning of runways and other facilities on bid. Some airports are near bodies of open water and you can see a local marina. Much of the aviation crowd is also part of the boat crowd. There may be high end automobiles, which park in your parking lot or at the park and fly. Why not detail those vehicles too when you are not busy washing aircraft. Is there a golf course within the vicinity? Detailing cars for golfers who are a high percentage of your aviators my be a smart additional add on as well. If you own a Certified repair Station, maybe adding fleet mobile oil changes for nearby businesses? First of course you must notify us so we may design the mobile units for multiple uses, this may or may not increase the price of the unit. Sometimes there may be additional equipment needed.


Option # 6

If we have to customize your franchise beyond what has been discussed here, we are willing to do this (once you have qualified), but we will need 5 days to modify franchise agreements and need a small non-refundable deposit of $ 400.00 .

Professional Courtesy, secrecy and/or Non-disclosure are not a problem with our team.
