Self Service Car Wash Annual Profit Forecast

The SBA loan that the founders will secure is structured to ensure the new car wash business's success during its early months of operation. The $740,400 loan includes two elements designed to help build operating capital.
First, the loan includes a 10% ($69,000) construction contingency that will convert to operating capital if the construction costs are consistent with the estimate. It also includes nine months of interim interest which will defer the long-term mortgage payment.
