Laundry Business – How to Enter the Laundry Business or Laundromat

You must first decide what type of laundry business you want to be in. Dry cleaning, laundry or both. There are many resources to help you make this happen.

You must make a decision about how much money you are willing to invest. I have seen laundry pickup and delivery services work very well with minimal investment. The other option is to rent a space and set up a store.

You can offer laundry by the kilo, dry cleaning pickup and delivery, and even ironing.
Purchase any necessary equipment.

Some of the equipment you may consider purchasing are laundry tables, washers and dryers, fiberglass seats, irons. etc You may need to hire an employee to pick up and deliver your dry cleaning.

A home based business that you can probably deliver yourself, but a laundromat will require additional support or employees.

If you decide to open a complete laundry, the presentation is everything! A clean laundry area is a must! Big, beautiful laundry tables are probably the most important item on the floor, since most of the work is done folding the laundry. Make doing laundry as easy as possible. Offer Wifi, TV, video games, etc. You want your customers to come back again and again! This is your job as the owner!

Last but not least, it’s time to market your service. Coupons, mailings, and networking are a great way to start. Let people know who you are and get to work! This is a great deal!
