Company providing a laundry and Ironing Only service to mainly domestic customers. We offer a free collection and delivery service to our customers with a 2 day turnaround on all laundry orders. We charge per item so customers know exactly what they are being charged for. We currently have around 55 customers mainly being based in Birmingham City Centre; however we do have customers based in other areas such as Harborne, Edgbaston, West Heath and Halesowen. The business has been established for over 2 years and has built up a very good relationship with our customers, who have become regular, reliant loyal customers who appreciate the service we offer. The business is for sale as we have been offered another business opportunity within an industry my partner works for and it would be impossible to continue running this business as well. The business operates from our home which helps keep overheads low and one room is designated for the use of the business, obviously any new owner would have to do the same or perhaps rent a small unit. The business is a highly profitable business model as expenses are low and only cover items such as electricity, diesel, and a few consumables e. G: hangers, polythene wrap, washing powder etc. We estimate the business runs on a 75-80% profit margin with monthly takings being around £1700-£2000 per month. Our pricing structure is very competitive and we are the most cost effective laundry business serving Central Birmingham. However we have not implemented a price increase for over 18 months and we do not see any reason why a new owner could not increase prices to say 7-10%. The business has a fully operational website which is a good information source for any new potential customers. The website has a good search engine ranking and is listed on many websites such as yell. Com and Touch Local, the website continues to bring us new customers. With regards to marketing the business we would advise any new owners of what we have found to be the best marketing strategies and most cost effective with regards obtaining new customers.

We believe the business has huge potential to expand as our service is in very high demand from cash rich, time poor busy professionals and two working parent families. There is also the potential to expand into other areas of business such as a Dry Cleaning Service and Domestic Cleaning which we are regularly asked for. All in all the business is a good service industry based business providing the owner with a steady cash rich income which eliminates cash flow difficulties associated with many businesses, and offers tremendous opportunities to any new owner.
