Most of the information that you will find online is targeted at American entrepreneurs. Laundromats suit the American market and you can find lots of information about this industry on sites like http://www.openingalaundromat.com . However, in some countries a very different business model is going to be required.

It is great if you can move away from the DIY model with coin machines as you require an expensive store front. If you have a lower cost of labor in your country you would want to rent a cheaper space off the main road or use your home laundry. Then you could offer a premium service to a more wealthy clientelle. Basically pick up their dirty laundry on certain days of the week and then drop it off upon completion. Getting commercial accounts is also smart thinking as many businesses require laundry services on a regular basis.

It's a great business to be in. One tip that I'd give people is to aim for a portfolio of regular accounts rather than doing one-off jobs all the time. Get connected with a wedding planner or a big company that regularly hires caterers for business functions.
