The asking price is in the upper half of the estimated range. Make sure the lease, location, and equipment justify it.

Frequently asked questions

How much does one of these businesses cost?

Prices depend on cash flow, equipment age, lease terms, and whether real estate is included. Most laundry businesses trade on a multiple of seller's discretionary earnings, commonly in the 3x to 5x range.

Can I finance the purchase?

Many buyers use SBA 7(a) loans, conventional loans, or seller financing. Use the SudsList calculators to model loan payments and cash-on-cash return before making an offer.

How do I evaluate a listing?

Confirm revenue against utility bills and collection records, review the lease, and inspect the age and condition of every machine. See the SudsList Guide for a full due diligence checklist.
