A mentor could help me get a better sense of the industry and all the necessary papers to have in place in order to get started. My biggest challenge is gathering all the requirements needed to open and keep the business running as there always seem to be more information popping up.
About my venture
I want to put up a laundromat business to cater to the demand for clean clothes. My goal is also to provide consumers with the conviniency of having someone take care of the oftentimes tedious but necessary task by offering the wash and fold “ Drop Off” service.
