Good day everyone, I'll like to appreciate you guys for taking time to read this and proffer your help.
I'm currently working with an educational institution. But the thing is that I'm not comfortable with what I'm earning. As such, I've decided to go into the dry cleaning business (I chose this business because I once worked for my dad the time I left secondary School about 15 years ago. So I have the experience).

My challenge now is how to start. Already, my dad is currently into it and he's very good. I too will like to start mine in another location but I don't have enough funds. I don't want to ask him for the funds because he has a project at hand. Things I'll like to know are:

1)- how much is required to start up on a low key?

2)- I don't really have a shop now, how do I go
about getting clients to know about my business? My younger brother suggested that I begin by telling my colleagues at work especially the Rev. Fathers, it's a good idea but my clients will still be limited to my work environment. So how do I go about getting clients from home?

3)- VERY IMPORTANT. Due to erratic power supply, I thought of getting a rechargeable cordless/wireless pressing iron. The research I made wasn't satisfactory. I don't know much about the rechargeable pressing iron. I don't know if it can be used away from power supply after being charged or if you'd still need power. Please anyone with knowledge and experience on this should help me.

Please, with time I'll get back to you guys on how I'm progressing. Thank you nairaland family. God bless you all.

I expect your candid opinion and suggestions. Remain blessed. Please Mods help move to front page (it's urgent, God bless u)

Following thread..

it is a goos job.Dnt depend on rechargeable iron.buy a good Gen from a reputable dealer. Be going from house to house to advertise urself and give target delivery day to your customers without giving excuses.

Why would you think strangers in a faceless forum could advised you better than your dad ?

I believe someone here may have an experience similar to mine. Also, my dad isn't the only person in this laundry business there are many other people out there who are doing better than him. I just want to gather enough information. Although, I'll still seek advice from my dad. Thank you.
