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.

  1. Mr. Ken
    This is absolutely the best Introduction to a Laundrymat Business I had heard.

    I enjoyed very much, thank you for the advices they are to the point and are very helpful.

    It is hard to have someone speak from the “truth” let it be to talk about the subject in this case Laundrymats.

    Keep it up, Great work
