subject: Starting A Cebu Laundry Dealership [print this page] What you want to do to jump-start your business as a Cebu laundry dealership is really take as much information as you can first. There are good reasons why this type of business is growing. Quality and speed are some of the major reasons. But most of all, everybody needs to wash and clean their stuff regardless of the economic climate.
Here are some tips you might want to consider:
One option is to provide a dry-wash-fold service. This is particularly good for regular T-shirts, since they don't require pressing once out of the dryer. You can charge less than 50 bucks per kilo and a bit more for a wash-dry-press service and for tending to items like bed sheets, curtains, blankets, comforters and towels.You may also try offering a monthly discount rate as well as a pickup and delivery for an additional fee. These are just some Cebu laundry solutions you'll find.
Pricing your services is another point you can look into next. Initially, what will be the price of your services in terms of per kilo? How will you handle larger items like blankets, comforters, bed sheets, curtains and jackets? Should the use of fabric conditioner incur additional charges? What type of soap or detergent results in better quality but also in better cost-effectiveness?
You can start pricing at less than 30 per kilo. For larger, items you can price10 bucks more. You don't always have to use brand detergents, in fact you can make your own. Techniques can be learned from various seminars. Your customers will expect you to use a fabric softener, so don't add fees to this.
Any Cebu laundry dealership will need a big-enough space to hang and dry laundries and reduce the use of the dryer. This is one good way to lower the pricing and reduce energy consumption both at the same time. Start with one pair of washers and dryers, and then buy more units once your customer base grows. Get brand new units to cut costs on maintenance in the long run.
Plan the interior of your shop carefully. Make sure there is enough space for the receiving area, dirty linen, sorting area, and of course your equipment. At this point, it would probably be more important how you arrange the place to improve workflow. Washers and dryers can be added to deal with the additional work, but the appropriate iron must be selected, as only one to a couple can be used at a time to maximize labor.
There are technical aspects of the laundry business which you might want to look into as well, such as the possible use of chemical water softener. This eliminates calcium and magnesium and can thus be less damaging to clothes. Contact your local water purification provider for more information.
Basic Steps:
- Look for a good location where not very many competition exists, but also where it is highly populated. - Get just a few basic equipments like washers and dryers to start with. - Work out a system that will secure your shop from both malicious outsiders and your own staff. - Man the shop or delegate work to at least 2 staff to start. - Get a business permit. - Figure out a name for your shop.

The reason why franchising is a good idea when it comes to the laundry industry is that people everywhere actually find laundry services essential and very useful. Hopefully, these tips will help you start your own Cebu laundry dealership.
