Episode 9 Ten Need To Know Items Before Opening A Business
Applicable To Many- Targeted To Laundromat / Coin Laundry
Everybody likes a Top 10 list and these may not be the Top 10 but they are certainly the big ones.
This information is targeted to a Laundromat / Coin Laundry but most will apply to any small business.
The percentage of small businesses that fail during the first few years is actually a very sad number. Thousands of people have a dream and open a small business. They have the dream but not all of the information.
This list has been developed from my own experience. I currently operate 3 successful Laundromats and was fortunate enough to have some guidance at the start and learned the rest very quickly. Unfortunately, some of the items came as a surprise.
The presentation is available at the bottom of the page.
