Talk to Gossy The Valeter? His numbers on his web page

He could probably help you out with info and he's not that far away from you, he's in High Wycombe.

So he's going to love some local competition

LOL

My advice, are you any good at valeting? if not, give it a miss.

To begin with, are you prepared to work at least 10 hours a day for 7 days a week? if not give it a miss

have you identified yout target market?

Are you good with the figure work, or identified someone who is?

Have you identified a suitable franchise? or are you going to go it alone

and last, but not least, do you have at least £10k start up capital? If not, forget it.

have you also looked at direct competition?
