Are you interested in starting your own drycleaning business? Here are the basic things you need: a place of business, permits and licenses to operate your business, machinery to do most of your work, and a great customer relation service.
Although it looks as if drycleaning isn’t such a lucrative business practice, it’s really one of the most versatile ventures one could get into.
A drycleaning business can start off very small, and it has great potentials for growth and expansion. Plus, the fact that most everyone needs the service of a good neighborhood dry cleaning makes it an ideal entrepreneurial practice. A dry cleaning service can also have laundry service, but not all laundry services have dry cleaning services. So what are the basic things you need to start this business?
Your first priority is to find a place to set up your shop. This is not a typical home-based business which you can operate in your basement or garage. You really need a distinctive place to set up a dry cleaning business; preferably, some place that gets a lot of foot traffic. Foot traffic can bring in lots of customers, and the more customers you have the more varied there dry cleaning need becomes. Also, you need a space large enough to accommodate your machinery and equipments. A large storage area is also needed to store the chemicals you will need for dry cleaning. Basically, you need to formulate an efficient working lay-out for your dry cleaning business. You need to have a reception and pick-up area, a sorting area, an area for your dry cleaning machines, an area for pressing clothes, an area for hanging and labeling clothes, a packaging area, etc.
You can start this business small, perhaps only offering the basic dry cleaning services to your market. The wonderful thing about the dry cleaning business is that it leaves a lot of room for business development and growth. For example, for simple dry cleaning service, you can then offer sewing and repair services (which will need an in-house seamstress or garment sewer); or you can offer pick-up and delivering service (which will need a vehicle and a delivery person.)
Other types of dry cleaning expansion work include: alteration services, boxing and storing, coin laundry, dyeing house hold items cleaning, shoe repair and even wedding gown restoration.
Once you have your place of business, make sure you have licenses and permits to operate. Don’t hack into the system with a hack business because that’s exactly what you will tend to get: noting but hack. Make your business legal, and your clients will flock to your shop in droves.
In order to give your client speedy services on their dry cleaning needs, you will have to invest big time on machinery, equipment and chemicals. machinery include dry cleaning baths like washers, dryer and pressing equipment including sorting bins, hanger lines and garment coverings. Chemicals are essential in all dry cleaning processes, and you must at least be well vast on how to safely use them without damaging the fabric or health of your workers.
Often, people patronize dry cleaning businesses that are close to their home or to their work areas. Developing great customer relations with your patrons and compliant-free services are ways of establishing your business. It is also the subtle kind of advertising, yet it is the most effective. If your patrons are happy with your business, they might even make referrals to everyone they know. This beats making promos and giving away freebies.
