Jam Khan invested £500,000 in buying the Premier Tyres premises in Wolverhampton and ploughed a further £90,000 into fitting it out.
But the devastated business owner was today surveying the damage following the blaze at the Crown Street site in Dunstall, which took hold at 11.25 last night.
And he today offered a £5,000 reward for anyone who could provide information leading to the conviction of those responsible.
He said: "I can't believe anyone could do this. I was burgled back in 2009 but I've never had anything as bad as this happen to me."
