Written by FocusCFO | Feb 19, 2024 10:05:38 AM

Jax Kar Wash is a family-operated business serving drivers in Michigan since it opened in 1953. Today, Jax Kar Wash is led by second and third-generation family members who proudly continue the legacy of providing customers with a clean, dry, and shiny car quickly and in a friendly, efficient environment for a great value - as well as offering their famous Jax Unlimited Club!

FocusCFO is proud to have worked closely with this family business, guiding them on their climb to sustainable, transferrable value and a successful exit.

Jax Kar Wash had a solid growth plan in place when the IPO of a competitor opened its eyes to a potentially higher exit value. Enter FocusCFO, a national leader in Fractional CFO services, who seamlessly helped to pivot the company from growth mode to "deal mode."
