Have questions? Let’s answer them.
What budget do I need to open a laundromat?
A turnkey laundromat generally requires €80,000 to €150,000, depending on the floor space, condition of the premises, building works and equipment.
How much can a laundromat earn?
Profit depends on revenue, running costs, financing and taxation. A forecast tailored to the premises, with several scenarios, helps assess the project. No monthly income is guaranteed.
Is it really passive income?
The model is flexible, but it requires regular involvement: cleaning, monitoring, maintenance, opening hours and a prompt response to breakdowns.
When does a laundromat become profitable?
There is no universal timescale. The pace of growth, rent, expenses and investment affect profit and cash flow. Start with a cautious forecast, then monitor the actual operating figures.
