FAQs
How much does it cost?
The capital needed to start a self-service laundry business relies on many factors, including laundromat size, equipment required and complexity of the fit-out. As a guide, a small shop may cost upwards of $250K + GST whereas a larger shop with more equipment in an apartment building may cost up to $350K + GST.
Should I build a new store or buy an existing one?
What size shop do I need?
50 – 80 square meters (5m x 10m or 6m x 12m) is the ideal size for laundromat.
What type of equipment do I need?
95% of our investors typically have only industrial laundry equipment in their laundromats. If budget permits, we would certainly suggest going with this option, as these machines are far more heavy-duty and robust and will give you years of trouble free use. Commercial Washing Machines (i.e Top Loaders) can cause headaches for shop owners as they have drain pumps that often get blocked, resulting in machine downtime and unhappy customers!
