How to Start Aircraft Cleaning Business

If you want to achieve financial independence and are fond of cleaning, then a business about your passion is worth the try.

In this article, you will be able to learn how to start an aircraft cleaning business of your own.

If you have a passion for cleaning, a must-try business for you is something that has anything to do with your passion. The aircraft cleaning business has few competitors and, simultaneously, can be very lucrative. What are the ways to start this kind of business?

As always, you need to make an in-depth study of the industry. Education and training are necessary when starting any business. There are aviation-related schools that you can inquire from and see for yourself what short-term courses would fit your needs.

Make a business plan. Hiring a professional business plan maker can help you with this stuff other than they can also help you study the industry. Another way to prepare a business plan is by making it yourself. There are readily available templates in the market that are user-friendly that you can use. If doing business with a partner/s, brainstorming with them is another healthy approach to creating a business plan.

Start-up capital is always an integral part of starting a business. Of course, you will be required to shell out your hard-earned money, but the question is: are you up with the start-up capital needed to run the business? If yes, proceed with the next step, but if not, you will need to apply for a business loan from a bank or any financial institution that offers loan/s to entrepreneurs. You will have to meet the requirements of these institutions and, of course, submit a copy of your business plan to them.

Licenses and permits are also necessary for a business. You have to go to your local or state licensing department and inquire about the permits and licenses you will need to obtain. You must pay specific fees to acquire these licenses and permits for your aircraft cleaning business operation.

The products and equipment you will need to operate your business are important. Waxes, soaps, chemicals, vacuum cleaners, etc., are basic needs for your aircraft cleaning business operation. The web is where you can find several manufacturers and suppliers of cleaning products. You can also do over the telephone inquiries or visit shops and stores that offer these cleaning products and equipment. Choose a brand that is already known in the business, but you may also try cheaper brand names that provide excellent quality in terms of cleaning.

  • Bennett Hilton said on May 10, 2018
    Hello All, My name is Bennett Hilton. I'm an experienced Aviation Professional with 8 years of detailing experience. I'm currently accepting new clients for aircraft detailing training. My pricing, you will find is far more reasonable that the majority of the larger companies that provide this service. Some companies can charge over 100k for a few weeks of training. On the lower end, you may be able to find someone who will charge you 10k USD but will only provide training for a few days to a week. My service is very different. Because I only do training and have no other contractual obligations, I'm able to travel to your place of business and help you for anywhere from a week to several months. I also have no qualms about traveling to the far corners of the world to get this work done. Many big companies are afraid to send their people to certain countries due to the risk involved. Feel free to contact me by email any time you'd like and I'll be sure to explain in detail the services I can provide for your company. Excited to meet you all. best regards, Bennett Hilton. Feel free to search for me on Linkedin, bennett.hilton@icloud.com
