A lucrative business to consider, if you are considering working for yourself, is to start a laundry co-op. This is an especially ideal endeavour if you are in an area that has a growing population, but may be far from a populated city. If you decide that a laundry co-op is an ideal business option for you, there are a few things you should know before getting started. Here are three of those key points and what you need to know about each one.
1. Laundry Installation
The first thing to know is that when you have a laundry co-op the installation of that laundry service, including both washers and dryers, is vital. You need to have a company that provides laundry installer services for you and can help you set it up correctly the first time. Remember, you may have several sizes and water capacities in one building.
For example, you may have a row of traditional washing machines while the next row may be washing machines that can handle larger items such as king size comforters and more. You need a laundry installation that knows how to handle the different items and can help place them properly.
2. Leased Equipment
Your first idea may be to buy the laundry systems you want to use and add more as time goes on. The truth is, this may end up costing you more in the long run when it comes time for repairs or replacements are needed. Instead, consider a leased equipment option from an industrial laundry service. The leasing option will allow you to get higher end washers and dryers as well as have them under warranty. This means you can opt-in for laundry installer services as well as repairs and replacements as part of your monthly lease agreement.
3. Maintenance Plans
Though you can take on the maintenance of your systems yourself, ideally you will want to have a maintenance plan worked out with the company you are leasing from. The maintenance plan means that someone will come out to your laundry co-op on a routine basis. They will do a diagnostic test on all the equipment, check on equipment you are having issues with and help you with problems you may be having with certain equipment.
These are just three of the considerations you should keep in mind when you decide to start your own laundry co-op. If you are ready to get started, contact your local industrial laundry equipment service provider today. They can help with pricing, delivery, laundry installer services and maintenance.
Welcome to my blog. My name is Eric. For the past few years, I have been researching how Australian industry operates. It has taken me many hours of self-guided study and interviews with industry insiders to reach a point where I feel comfortable starting this blog. I love the idea of being able to offer advice to others. Although I never got to work in the industrial sector, I have always taken a keen interest in it and I was very proud of the fact my father worked in an industrial unit for his entire life. I hope you like this blog!
