Congrats Danny! So happy for your accomplishments! 👏
CONGRATS MY DUDE!!!! YOU DESERVE IT!
Thank you so much for sharing this is my hope
Congratulations brother!!!! Proud of you, ur a real humble person. Keep up the great work never give up
What is a much for the encouragement. Helps out a lot. I will keep going
Congratulations Danny It's only up from here!
Thank you brother
congrats@ THANKS FOR ALL THE INFO very helpful Danny!
Here in California ever city u travel , u got get a lic to work in that city but not all city’s . But sometimes u can get away from getting so many lic to work in the areas . I recommend u get a llc so u can get a biz credit build it so if anything ever goes wrong u can do bk on that and not mess up your personal credit and that way u have two lines of credit 👍🏻
Thank you Mike. All good tips. Money right now to get an LLC you’re a corporation. Also my business strictly service is the city and county of San Francisco California. I’d say 98 to 99% of my customers are in the city.
Even if you've no plans to hire anyone, you might want to speak to an accountant in regards to your status as as a sole-proprietor. I understand wanting to keep everything simple. That said, you could possibly be paying 20% more money in taxes at the very least. S-Corp status would be something you might want to look into. Not trying to get in your biz but as a sole proprietor, everything comes back to you personally. Love your videos man. All the best.
Yeah, you should be setting up a LLC or S-corp.
1. You would be protecting your personal assets in the event you are sued.
2. You can develop your business credit that will be different from your personal credit so your person credit score isn’t impacted.
3. If you form a s-corp you can pay yourself a salary and write a bunch of deductions and save taxes..
Right on guys. I hear you. I’ll get there .
Congratulations 🙏🙏🙏
Congratulations! Only going up from here! I wish you all the success in the world and I hope for many more awesome videos!
I will say at times it gets discouraging especially when you have an off day. But it gets better, and take each win you get! Happy Holidays!
Thanks as always!
@@dannys.auto.detailing_ absolutely, I will say one of the best parts of TH-cam and channels is the journey. In the time I've been subscribed you've grown and its really awesome to see
Danny you're doin big things bro
Yo, thanks brotha!
Congratulations 🙌🏻
Thank you!
Congrats Danny!!
Love seeing the good guy win. You sound excited paying the government Danny lol
Lol. Kind of.
When I started my Car Wash and Detailing business, I wanted everything legal. I got my EIN, my business name is registered to the state, have my business van with insurance & all items inside insured too. I also have business insurance to cover myself & my customers. I have a website, on Facebook, Google & Nextdoor. It's also best to make a Terms and Conditions and have the customer sign the contract with a signature, date & year and give them a copy of it. Also give a receipt for what you charged them.
You are a true professional. I’m gonna screenshot this. Thank you
43rd like 🚗💨 boom 💥 Danny’s detailing business is now legit. Wham 💥
In San Joaquin county I had to finger print and all that extra stuff. Even have a solicitors permit.
Damn
Congrats! An EIN is really good thing to have even as a sole proprietor because you can open up a business banking account with an EIN and build business credit instead of personal credit to your social
I see. Damn. I should have just done it. I think o still can
@@dannys.auto.detailing_ Yes you still can get your EIN number separately, but don't tie it to your fictitious business name.
Your EIN can be used alone for business banking & credit.
If you tie it down to your fictitious business name or DBA you can be stuck with that name and let's say you want to start a different business with a different name now you have to get a new EIN too which is hard to do. the IRS only likes to give 1 EIN per person
Thank you!
Congrats man. Was thinking about deciding on registering as LLC or Sole Proprietor. Think I’ll go with the latter.
I’ll do the same , thank you for the video. That answers many of my questions.
Awesome brother. Congrats 👏👏👏
Congrats 🎉
Seriously, does Reyes do every Cali detailers videos? If so, I need to hire him.
No
Thanks for sharing super helpful
You got the business license for the city of San Francisco. Only in that city you could work only
@@deepclean5335 technically yes.
I think the newspaper thing is to insure you don’t owe money to any prior business endeavors or creditors,could be wrong
I have no clue lol
Wrong
now its time to google my business
You might be right about that.
hey Danny, would you recommend a license and business insurance for someone who just purchased a van with the intent to just detail one or two cars every weekend or every other weekend? it’s just a side hustle that I don’t plan on expanding to a full time full blown business anytime soon. Thanks!
Thanks for messaging. Ultimately, that is a decision you have to make. But from things that I’ve heard from other professionals, if you’re doing such a low volume there probably isn’t a need to add those expenses to your list. Chances are if you make a small mistake you can work it out with the customer. I personally didn’t have a license for the first two years in. It didn’t affect me at all. But again, it’s just whatever you feel is right.
Hey Danny what hair product you use? I dig that hairstyle
Thanks! It’s called Stiff Mnemonic Gum by Evolution Vasso.
CongratsDNNY 11$11
Danny, how would go about client that try paid through personal business transaction? Do tell they only accept personal transaction?
I’m not sure what that means personal business transaction but it’s an easy answer. Listen to say accept cash, credit card and possible Venmo, Zelle, or PayPal. You set the rules here.
Now that you have a business license how about insurance ?
I also got insurance the same day. They were able to video going into the shop. But I may make a video about it anyway
Hey Danny do you know if going in as a sole proprietor would I need the car wash surety bond ? And works comp Insurance ?
Eddy, I’m not sure. I don’t have it and I’ve never heard of it. It may be something that your city requires? And the only insurance I have is liability with State Farm
I am also out here In California so not sure if it's just out here in LA county or if that only Applies if I have employees . Any who appreciate you replying .
Get an S-corp instead bro , you’ll save about 15 percent on taxes a year . After than get a business loan and buy yourself a van with the proper set up . Apply for a business credit card they are 12 months interest free . Use that to pay for the set up of the van . By doing your debt to income ratio doesn’t get affected because you are using the business credit not yours so you’ll look good for the creditors . Let’s talk bro if you want to go more ins depth . I respect your hustle keep grinding !
Thank you Jason, I’m I terrestre in talking to you. How can we get in touch?
@@dannys.auto.detailing_ hey Danny I’ll DM in on IG bro to send you my number. .
Cool
@@jasonmoreno3530can I get some help with this?
Also subscribed 👍
Thank you!!
I don't understand the newspaper thing?!? I didn't have to do that.
I don’t know. They want you to make it public so you put an advertisement in the newspaper for four weeks. And show them proof.
@@dannys.auto.detailing_ ok thats odd. ?does old school adverting still work's? I guesseach city is differ. Thank's for the info,
🎉
Yo what happened to you it’s been like 3 months since you posted last
I know I know, it feels like forever. Thanks for checking in, I’m literally so close to coming back. Appreciate you.
Trying to register also in CA but it says they require a 150k bond, just starting out and I feel like I don’t have enough customers to cover this bond every month, any suggestions?
Ya wierd I know people who only do it as a side hustle and don’t make much and nothings happened people recommend it if it’s genuinely a full time job
Tony, they didn’t ask me for that. I just got a sole proprietor ship that was it. Then I went over to get some in liability insurance. About $50-$60 a month.
It takes 4 weeks to receive a business license ?
Why did you not go with LLC? This way of you got sued, they can only sue your business and not you personally. A wise man once said, you're not truly successful until you've been sued.
Haha
New subscriber here brother
Thank you! More ideas coming soon.

Any suggestions I am currently 15 with my own detailing business doing very well next year I wanted to focus on building the business into a more professional level would a business license help?
Hey man, don't worry about a business license until you have built up your business into a good running state and believe it has potential
I’ve already been in business for 2 1/2 going on three years. And I have not had a business license. I pay my taxes. I would invest an education. The two courses I would invest in, would be Oscars SEO course from detail groove, Wilson Auto Detailing course. Oscars just opened his up recently. So get on it.
But don’t let anybody stop you from getting a business license if you want to. It’s really up to you. I can’t believe I went this long without business insurance. But I finally got business To. Now if there’s an accident I’m covered
That’s just the fictitious name or DBA (DOING BUSINESS AS) such a great information but this is not it! Don’t get confused people do more research!
Lol what happen to grow your business fast and big your still doing it halfway… Bro get an EIN and a LLC protect your assets. If you mess up a a car let’s say you do an engine detail and you ruined the customer is going to want you to pay for it. And let’s say your insurance will only cover for half of the price and they don’t want to cover the full amount for the engine or the whole car because maybe the car is not worth the engine price, then the customer can sue you for your assets. While you get an EIN and a LLC the customer can only use your company and not you.
Thanks for the feedback and you have a great point. For me I have started businesses in the past and I did all that upfront and I failed my business and it cost me money on the front end that way. This time I just built my business up slowly. And if it worked out, then I can move forward with licenses and things like that. I do have liability insurance so if I do make a mistake or someone gets hurt while I’m detailing, my insurance will cover those expenses. I hope that someday I can grow my business bigger, but I do toil with the idea of staying small and keeping it all. But for now, I am still small. I wish that I had more motivation and consistency when I was young, but I started this business after I started a family and a lot of my expenses and money go to my family and then also I really like spending time in the evenings with my kids. So I have to sacrifice sometimes putting an extra hours to make more money. It’s a double edge sword. Do you want to be a good present dad or do you wanna make a lot of money, but if you’re a good present, dad, you have no money and if you make a lot of money, you’re not a good present dad. Thanks for watching. Please keep watching and commenting whenever you want.
Also get a business accountant in a bank with a business credit card
Do you think I should get a business accountant that works in a bank?
@@dannys.auto.detailing_ Yes, Deposit $100 or more from your detailing job to a business bank account with your licensed business name and ask for a business credit/debit card. Use that business card for your fuel, all products and other things that has to involve with your business. Alway have a dedicated credit/debt card for your business to keep track of all your purchases
