Welcome!

I have noticed common questions people repeatedly ask about starting and running a laundromat. I have therefore decided to start a FAQ to answer some of those questions. The answers here have been gleemed from many sources and my life experience of being a Laundromat owner for many years now. If you find something in error or feel there needs to be an update, revision, or change in information on this website, please let me know!

What’s Very Common Questions?

Start up or existing laundromat?

If this is your first laundromat... always start with an existing one. You dont know enough about starting and running one yet... especially if your asking this question... get one already running and get a jump start on how it works - what you need to know is not rocket science but there are specific process, procedures and what not... modify what is there but you will get a running start if you get one already operating.

What type of License do I need?

A License is controlled at the state level... permits depend usually on town/city regulations... so, depends on where you live - or more specifically where you want to place the laundromat.

The Multiple

When purchasing a laundromat, you will quickly encounter "the multiple". This is basically how laundromats are sold. The multiple of net sales. If a laundromat is netting $100,000 and has a multiple of 3x then it is selling for $300,000. The multiple is very important detail. It is based on many details in the business. It basically comes down to determinng how good the business is being run.
