Geschrieben von Girbau | May 3, 2024 10:07:11 AM

A self-service laundry can yield a high return on investment (ROI), typically recovering the initial investment within a period of 1.5 to 3.5 years. But, do you know more reasons why investing in a self-service laundry is advantageous? Here are the main ones and how you can start your own business. It's easier than you think!

Why invest in a Self-Service Laundry?

Apart from offering a great opportunity for high ROI, a self-service laundry is a business with minimal fixed costs, requiring no extra inventory or staff. The investment isn't subject to economic cycles, making it a stable option. Additionally, it's a scalable business in terms of space and investment.

Moreover, studies indicate that self-service laundries have become a trending business in recent years. What's driving the increasing number of self-service laundries and their respective revenues? Primarily, it's attributed to current socio-economic factors such as the rise in single-person households, shrinking living spaces, higher household utility bills, increased awareness of environmental issues, and heightened attention to hygiene and disinfection by the population.

However, the density of self-service laundries remains relatively low, presenting a significant business opportunity for at least the next five to ten years. So, if you're considering investing, now is the time!

 

How to open your own Self-Service Laundry business?

Launching a self-service laundry entails an initial investment ranging from 30,000 to 80,000 €, considering machinery, premises, additional equipment, furniture, decoration, licensing, and construction work.

Starting your own laundry is simpler than you might think, but it's crucial to have industry experts like Girbau who can advise and support you throughout the process. To ensure the profitability and success of your business, the first step is to conduct comprehensive market research and feasibility studies. Based on these findings, you can make informed decisions regarding key factors such as location, premises, machinery, and facility design to kickstart your laundry operation.
