The opportunity

Why this business works now

Body-repair customers need dents, accident damage and paintwork restored to a safe and presentable standard. Each job moves through assessment, quotation, strip-down, repair, preparation, painting and final inspection. The plan explains job costing, parts approval, workshop scheduling, paint control, quality checks and customer handover.

  • Complete repair workflow

    Assessment, panel work, preparation, paint and finishing are planned together.

  • Private and commercial work

    Customers can include motorists, fleets, dealers and approved referral sources.

  • Job-based costing

    Parts, materials and labour are assigned to each repair.

The plan includes the core business, market, operations, funding and financial sections commonly assessed in applications. You will still attach the personal and supporting documents requested by the funder.

Can I change the startup amount and financial figures?
