Resale ValueCard and coin operated laundries can make excellent business investments. The typical store operates on a cash-in-advance basis with little inventory; thereby eliminating risks such as a control shrinkage, theft or spoilage. Plus, a card or coin laundry is an owner-controlled business, creating a great degree of management control.But what about store's resale value? Most often, card and coin opearted laundries pay for themselves in only a few years and can be sold at top dollar, according to the Coin Laundry Association (CLA), a non-profit, coin laundry trade association. In fact, most card and coin operated laundries enjoy higher resale values, even though laundry equipment depreciates. CLA research indicates that coin laundries typically sell for between three and seven times their net cash flow - with average historic returns exceeding 40 percent. Plus the Tennessee tourist industry creates an unnaturally high demand for self-service laundries, making it a financially secure investment. |
