From site selection to grand opening · Built on CLEANBI + AAdvantage
(1) Site Selection — score candidate addresses with CLEANBI and pick the A/B-grade winner. (2) Equipment Mix — use the Configurator to size your equipment to demographics and target capacity. (3) Build-Out — generate a contractor scope with utility hookups, plumbing, venting, electrical, finish materials, and signage. (4) Funding — match to SBA 7a or equipment financing through AAdvantage. (5) Grand Opening — marketing, soft open, and ramp plan. Each step generates downloadable deliverables.
A complete project binder: CLEANBI report on your site, equipment list with installed pricing, contractor RFP-ready scope of work, project timeline with milestones and dependencies, 24-month financial projection (ramp + steady-state), and grand opening marketing kit (door hangers, social posts, Google Business Profile setup). Designed so you can hand it to your contractor, lender, and AAdvantage rep without writing anything from scratch.
Class A retail conversion: $60–$120 per sq ft for build-out, $250K–$450K equipment, $50K working capital. Total typical $300K–$700K depending on store size. Most builds qualify for SBA 7a (90% LTV) or 504 (real estate + equipment combo). The Planner walks you through which financing structure fits your specific build.
Plan to spend 4–8 weeks moving through the wizard — most of that is site search and lease negotiation, not the wizard itself. Once you have a signed lease, build-out runs 4–6 months, equipment install takes 2–4 weeks, and you're operating. Total typical timeline: 6–9 months from first wizard step to grand opening.
Yes — multi-store operators use the Planner specifically for site selection and equipment mix consistency. The 24-month financial projection is more accurate for second stores because you can use your actual operating data instead of industry averages.
Free for the basic 5-step wizard. Premium features (lender-ready financial projections, contractor RFP automation, grand opening marketing kit) are included in the WashBizHub Pro at $149/month ($124/mo annual) or available as a one-time $299 New Build Bundle.
