Our initial 30-minute discovery call is complimentary - no cost, no obligation. Paid consultancy engagements are scoped and priced based on the type and complexity of the project. A new laundry business setup consultancy includes feasibility analysis, layout planning, equipment recommendations, and a detailed financial model with implementation roadmap. An on-premise laundry assessment covers production planning, equipment layout, and compliance requirements. A review and optimisation engagement for an existing laundromat covers operational audit and a modernisation roadmap. All engagements include a clear written proposal with full pricing before any work begins - no hidden charges. Contact us for a customised quote.

Our laundromat consultancy services cover: market feasibility and location analysis, facility layout and design planning, equipment selection and vendor recommendations, utility and infrastructure assessment (water, power, drainage), workforce sizing and SOP design, financial projections with break-even and ROI modelling, and revenue potential analysis for your specific catchment area. For on-premise laundry clients such as hotels and hospitals, we also cover production assessment, linen management systems, and compliance with industry hygiene standards. Each engagement delivers a detailed written report with actionable recommendations.

Absolutely. Our Review and Optimisation engagement is designed for exactly this situation. We begin with a thorough operational audit, assessing your current equipment, throughput, staff productivity, utility consumption, and pricing. From there we identify specific bottlenecks and inefficiencies and deliver a prioritised modernisation roadmap. This typically includes equipment upgrade recommendations, layout changes to improve workflow, cost reduction strategies, and a revenue maximisation plan. We also help you evaluate whether transitioning to newer, energy-efficient machines will reduce your monthly operating costs enough to justify the investment.

Yes. Financial planning is a core part of every engagement. We provide a detailed financial model covering total setup investment, monthly operating costs (rent, power, water, labour, consumables), projected revenue based on capacity and local demand, break-even timeline, and 3-year ROI projections. For on-premise laundry setups, we also model the cost comparison between running your own laundry versus outsourcing, so you can make a fully informed decision. All financial outputs are customised to your specific location, scale, and business type, we do not use generic templates.

Yes, this is one of the most common assessments we conduct for hotels, hospitals, and large commercial establishments. We evaluate your current laundry volumes, existing outsourcing costs, available space, utility capacity, and staffing situation. We then model the full cost of setting up and running an on-premise laundry at your scale, and compare it directly against your current outsourcing spend. The output is a detailed decision report with a clear financial recommendation, a space and equipment plan if OPL is viable, and an implementation roadmap, so you are never making this decision on guesswork.

Yes, the initial consultation call is complimentary. During this call, our consultant will understand your business type, location, scale, and objectives.

Detailed consultancy engagements, which include site visits, analysis, and written reports, are priced based on the complexity and scope of the project. We will share a transparent quote before any work begins, with no hidden costs.

Timelines vary by scope. A standard new business setup consultancy typically takes 2 to 4 weeks from the initial discovery call to final report delivery, this includes the site visit, feasibility analysis, layout planning, and financial modelling. An on-premise laundry assessment for a hotel or hospital is usually completed in 2 to 3 weeks. A review and optimisation engagement for an existing laundromat can be completed in 1 to 2 weeks. We share a detailed project timeline at the start of each engagement so you know exactly what to expect and when.
