Is laundry a good business?

I'm planning to put up a home based laundry business since we are near boarding houses, but I am a bit hesitant because I'm afraid if it will not be profitable. Any advice?

Laundry business is a great business that is if you know how to attract possible customers to have their laundry done to your business.It is not profitable in your first 2 months but it can become a good business as time goes by.You can take as a good possible clients those in the hotels,motels,and hospitals because they are having many rooms to change their bed sheets and pillows.Act immediately go to those places so you can have more customers.

Do not mention it,you have to prove yet what your business is doing is all that matters.It is very easy to say it all but the truth on how to go about it is still in question.The ways to acquire who you like to become your clients is the most difficult task you could make.I wish you could have taken the most hospital and hotel clients,so are the motels and sauna bars.You can also go to apartments and restaurant where they are in need of laundry services.Residential does not give you bulk laundry but it can help your expenses needs of the day because they are the easy customers to come your services.

I think any sort of business can be successful especially if it is put on the right place, targeting the right audiences. Most laundry business will do much better if they are located in areas where people can afford to pay for laundry.
