Many people prefer to dry clean their expensive clothes, Blazers, Sarees and party wear clothes and are ready to pay any price to get their services and this makes it a very good business option.

I would like to know it's set up cost.

I have seen bigger laundries and they have big machines that are costly and don't see it'll be feasible for starters to buy these unless they have big money to invest.

Laundry is very profitable business which doesn't involve much cash to start. With less than $1000, you can start laundry business. What you need is shop, water, detergents, washing machine, Pressing iron etc you
I agree with you. This business is very profitable and you can start it even if you do not have a lot of money.

It doesn't cost much. Only the shop rent is what is costly there. So sorry from that $100 is enough to start the business
Shop rent should be the cheapest among the required items and $100 can't get you a good shop that's in a good location. One has to buy a big washing machine with dryer and other equipments.

The start-up varies from country to another. It depends on how they will conduct the feasibility study to have this kind of business.

I think starting a dry cleaning service needs a considerable amount of investment. You need to pay rent for the shop, buy at least one big washing and drying machine.

Do you know that you can start the business without using a machine. Yes some people doing this business in my area don't have a washing machine and the business is doing well

For me I may not know the exact amount of capital needed to start of the business but what I know is that the business requires a larger amount of capital as the washing machine and equipment are very expensive.

Yes I know but it will be quite stressful and that is why I feel like the person should have a washing machine

That's a lot
I guess it is because of your location
We don't have to spend as much as that here
We can start with as little as $400

A laundry business is quite easy to start. It is all about getting a shop with buckets, iron, and other essential washing equipment. When that is done, you are good to go. NGN150,000 can start and run it for you.
