If you are considering getting into the power washing business you may find this list to be helpful. It is a list of the very basic bare essentials you will need to start a professional exterior cleaning company. By no means does the list suggest this is ALL you need to get started but it may help in your venture. Good luck!

Power washer (preferably a belt driven unit at least 4gpm or more)
Chemical tank and/or float tank
Pressure hoses (200' to be safe)
Feed hose
Hose reels
Ladders
Trailer (open or enclosed)
Truck or Van (1/2 ton will work but bigger is better)
Title fees/plates
Gas can(s)
Personal protection equipment (respirator, safety glasses, gloves)
Proper chemicals (house washing, roof cleaning, deck cleaning chems)
Surface cleaner (to clean concrete)
Business phone line
Business cards
Office supplies
Business forms (proposals/invoices)
Vehicle lettering
Logo design
yard signs
Advertising money (mailers, mailing lists, paper ads)
Business bank account
Assumed business name certificate
Register with your State
Corporation Fees
Licensing
Estimated tax payments
General liability/workman's comp/commercial auto insurance

It's a good idea to have all your personal finances in check before starting any business venture. Also you should have some petty cash in the business account for the lean times or for any unforeseen obstacles.
