Yup, lots to learn here. All I know is that I don’t know enough about taxes or employment law. I’m taking online courses and hopefully that will help. As for me I have an LLC and am stupidly behind on taxes 
. At least I know to save and manage business funds better now.
Thank you for offering your advice about no Siamese. Still undecided on the best 8 gpm unit for the moment reading and and learning more. I am leaning towards the gx690

It’s company money being spent on company things.
Amen 
Predator and udor pump versus gx690 versus slim skid …!!! The research never ends 
Just get a hot water Landa Diesel pusher and burner with an udor. Then get the f550 4×4 platinum edition, pulling a all aluminum dbl axle trailer for a measly $140 grand.Then hire @Innocentbystander and @Racer @ $200k a piece, to show ya how to run it, and the business. As you’ve hinted, it’s only money dude, a word of advice when meeting them. No Crocs,have shirt tucked in. That be a deal breaker. Good luck, Dude.

Which slim line skids are you referring to?
First off I realize there is a black belt level to power washing with insane equipment. Respect. I’m just not stressed over saving 1 or 2 spending 3 or 4 more grand to get a well built reliable rig suitable for residential and small commercial work. Jeez I was subtly cracking a joke about how it’s not even mine to spend on the business. No one could relate to the act of putting your earnings right back into business without even having the slightest feeling like it belongs to you personally but rather the business entity.
P.S. I have polyester work shirts made no more band shirt. - Crocs stay 
Thanks for the positive criticisms
I’m sorry but you list me there. Your business money is your money. The whole goal of the business is to make you money , think long and hard before you start dumping your hard earned money into anything other than your own pocket…
I wear gray Hanes shirts for $3 each and a pair of bleached stained blue nylon pants from Walmart. I average 900 to 1500 per 8 hour day by myself. Gotta ask yourself if something is making you money before you buy it. My outfit cost $15

I’m glad you got a company shirt you should post a pic of it. You will probably hate the poly ones but that’s personal preference. How you look and how you equipment is kept makes a huge difference. Dont show up to a job looking like a bumb. People notice and it’s not the person you are already working for you need to impress it’s the guy who hasn’t hired you yet you need to be worried about.
As for equipment either of those machines will get the job done. But if you really want people to help how about you put a little more time into telling and showing us what you have now what you are transporting it on. And what you are cleaning at least that way we can all be on the same page. Oh please get rid of the crocs or at least get the ones that look like a tennis shoe that way when you run that wand across your foot and it will happen you can keep most of your toes

There’s a few different brands that’s offering them. It’s basically the same as the normal skids but fear drive instead of belt and a smaller footprint. Here is one of the hydroteks

The devil on one shoulder is telling me to play along… it’d be hilarious. The angel on the other is saying that I should be nice and give accurate advice. And the brain between the two is saying that if I did play along, no one would recognize it as a joke…
@anon29736956, IB is yanking your chain. Just google the forms he listed 
Scorp is the way to go once you’re making a little bit of money at this. I would say that if your take-home salary before taxes is more than 40k or 50k, you will probably save by incorporating/LLC and making the scorp election.
Personally, it should save us at least $4-$5k in taxes this year. About half of our income we take as monthly salary checks, and the other half we take as quarterly distributions. We only pay the 15.3% employment tax (SS and whatnot) on the salary portion. So overall it saves us around 7.65% on our taxable income.

Pluses and minuses to business forms. A solo practitioner allows you to put $52k a year away tax deferred in a Solo 401k.
In all seriousness, If you have the coin. Look into skids like Alkota, Hotsy,Hydrotek, Landa,You want a good coil with plenty of length . Good place to order parts online is Pressure Tek. If your doing hot water right off the bat or eventually, just get a double axle trailer the first time.
