What does it cost to start?

Far less than a van based operation. The main asset is a cargo e-bike and equipment rather than a vehicle, premises or a unit, which keeps your overheads low from day one.

How does the model work?

You run your own territory under the Yikes brand and systems. We provide the brand, the booking flow, training and support, and take a management fee on the work that comes through.

Do I need experience?

No. We train you on the wash and detailing methods and on running the round. A willingness to deliver great service matters more than a background in valeting.
