Looking to have a detail shop to work with. Traffic will vary, but expect 2-3 cars a week. Full detail in and out. Must be a registered business. ---

Why are you so worried about it being a registered business? If you contract out the jobs it isn’t your responsibility how the company reports it’s income. I am just curious, not interested in the work. ---

> [@Penfold](#): > > Why are you so worried about it being a registered business? If you contract out the jobs it isn’t your responsibility how the company reports it’s income. I am just curious, not interested in the work. It’s a write off on each car I sell. If I buy the car for $3K, then have to put Brakes and Tires for say $500, then a detail for say $100, then a tank of fuel for $50. Now lets say just to make things easy I sell the car for $3650. I have to prove it when I sell the car that I put money into it or I will have to pay tax on it as profit, even though I didn’t make a penny n the car. Make sense? ---

Just have whoever you pay to do it write you a receipt, its not your problem if they dont report the income. ---

Agreed on the receipt writing. At the end of the year you can issue the detailer a 1099 to have an additional cover-your-ass point. From that point it’s out of your hands. ---

Just so long as you get a receipt for each car or even a monthly invoice you should be fine. ---

> [@Justin](#): > > If that’s true, then I’m open to all offers as long as I have a paper trail. As a small business a regular invoice is fine as long as you’ve paid them under $600 / year. Over that and you need to issue them a IRS 1099 Form. And it’s always better to contract with actual businesses if what your business is contracting them to do has a high degree of liability. ---

I would be interested in this if it would be possible for all vehicles to be detailed over a Saturday Sunday. If work needs to be done sporadically on week days that would be fine, but it would be evenings as I have a full time position that I would have to maintain. I have thousands of pictures and there are a lot of people on this very board that know the work I am capable of. I am willing to work as an “Independent Contractor” and issue invoices with the understanding of a 1099 being issued at year end. I have dealt with several Marinas on this exact basis in the past detailing Repo boats. If you want to talk more send me a quick PM.
