Not wanting to be discouraging, but investing in speed shops is very risky.  Meth labs, sure.  But hotrod shops are high-risk, and low return.  For every one that makes a solid profit, there are hundreds that either barely hang in there month-to-month or outright fail in less than 5 years.  Often the problem is that the owner is a hotrodder, and when he gets some money, he puts it into going faster.  Nothing wrong with that, but for outside investors, that isn't going to work.

Your best bet is to do what you know how to do (tuning, fab, engine building, etc) with the bare minimum of capital investment (work out of your garage, rent dyno time, etc) and put away 10% of every sale into the "I Want A Brick Building" fund.  If you borrow the money first, your chances of survival are poor, since you will have to pay the loan even in the slow periods, and it will be >20% of your income, not 10%.

Thanks.

How much money do you need?  Perhaps I can send you a certified check and if I happen to add a few thousand extra you could just wire it back to my bank?  :wink:

I have a shop now but it is just carwash and auto-detailing I just need someone who can add in the capital here in the Philippines.Some customers of mine have been asking me if I can do engine swap,put turbos etc.There are shops that are hardcore here in racing.I want to do the same thing because I love racing and I'm currently building one right now.

Philippines hey?

My wife is from the Philippines and she just set a new AMA record at the Bubs at Bonneville event.  I believe she is the first Philippine land speed record holder.

"I believe she is the first Philippine land speed record holder."

Can't be -- she did it in Utah.
