Laundramats are expensive to start. Not only do you have the cost of
equipment, but you may also need to install oversized sewer lines to
accommodate all the water. Your best bet is to meet with a counselor at a
small business development center or a SCORE office. They can evaluate your
business plan and recommend any additional research you may need to complete.
