Obtain the Best Price Possible When Selling Your Coin Laundromat in South Florida

• Contact a reputable and local business broker!
• Sellers of coin laundromats should spend some time thinking about what sort of financial documents they are able or willing to give a prospective buyer.
• Many laundromats have tax returns or bank statements that do not reflect the economic reality of the laundromat.
• In order to get the best price possible, owners of coin laundromats should report as much of the ‘cash’ income as possible and have the income reflected in their financials documents.
• Buyers will be able to more easily evaluate the actual income of the business.
• It is true that utility bills (particularly the water bill) may also show a savvy buyer what income the laundromat generates, but it is far better to also have financials which show the actual sales and income.
• Sellers can increase the value of their coin laundromats by simply cleaning up the facility so that it ‘shows’ better to a buyer.
• Many buyers wish to purchase coin laundromats, but they specify that they do not want a ‘dump.’
• Unfortunately, many owners of coin laundromats (especially absentee owners) do not put in the requisite time and expenditures necessary to refurbish and clean the facility.
• Dirty bathrooms, unclean floors, non-functioning A/C units, and a dilapidated exterior all give buyers a very poor impression.
• At minimum, such buyers will demand a price concession in order to account for the poor state of the facility, or they will simply not want to make an offer at all.
• Sellers of laundromats can maximize their selling price by ensuring that all of the washers and dryers are in good working order.
• Every prospective buyer of a coin laundromat should be provided with an ‘asset list’ of the washers and dryers included in the sale. 
• When a buyer subsequently inspects the facility, they will invariable check to see if the list they are given matches what is actually in the facility.
• Many buyers will base their offer on the condition of the machines and how many are actually functioning.
• It is far less expensive to make the repairs before the selling process begins rather than accept a price concession due to non-functioning machines.
