Instructions
Step 1
Purchase the equipment you need. You will definitely need devices for dry cleaning, washing and drying clothes. You can't do without a rotating conveyor for hanging clothes to dry. You will also need at least one cash register. Along with the equipment, you need to buy cleaning products, including laundry soap and fabric softener. The solutions you use will depend on your budget and hardware vendor.
Step 2
Choose a location to set up your business. It is worth staying in the business districts of your city to ensure a natural flow of customers. You can also try to occupy the areas around the hotels, and your profit will be increased by tourists.
Step 3
Get some experience. Before starting your own laundry business, watch for a few months (at least six) an already established and respected laundry. Hands-on experience will enrich your knowledge of the case, as well as help you set realistic goals for your particular business. With some experience, you will gain valuable information, so you need to study hard to be successful.
Step 4
Make a plan for your services. Will you equip order windows and delivery service? Will you be able to work 24 hours a day? You must have a clear plan for the full scope of services that you plan to offer in your laundry. Customer service should always remain your top priority.
Step 5
Check the rules and requirements for obtaining a business license for your area. This is just as important as case planning. Find out if you need a special permit to open a laundry and get it from the appropriate authorities. Study all sanitary regulations and be prepared for periodic sanitary checks of your laundry.
