Frequently asked questions
What is a good rent-to-revenue ratio for a laundromat?
Occupancy cost is generally healthy under about 20% of revenue, manageable up to roughly 25%, and concerning above 30%. The higher the ratio, the more of every dollar goes to the landlord instead of to profit and value.
Why does rent-to-revenue affect a laundromat's value?
Because value is based on cash flow, and rent is usually the largest fixed cost. High rent leaves less cash flow, which lowers the price the business can support. Two stores with the same revenue can be worth very different amounts based on their rent.
