A dry cleaning service business plan shows what the potential market opportunity is for a dry cleaning operation. In some cases these businesses operate a stand-alone dry cleaning center and consumers drop off clothing; in other models, they pick up clothing from consumers (typically at businesses) and perform the cleaning at a commercial site prior to redelivery. The dry cleaning service business plan, no matter which model you follow, needs to show that there is a sufficient base of clientele to make your company profitable. The plan should answer these questions:
• How many businesses are there within 5-10 miles?
• How many homes are there within 5-10 miles?
• What is the average cost of a cleaning (per item)?
• How much revenue can you expect in one month or in one year?
• What are the capital requirements to start?
The business plan for a dry cleaning operation needs a three-year pro forma that shows either how you will use the funding at start-up or what your past performance has been to date (for existing businesses). The remainder of the model is a revenue forecast, break-even analysis, profit and loss statement, cash flow, and a balance sheet in addition to a Year One breakdown for the first year of operations. The business plan also needs to include a marketing strategy and a look at the competitive comparables in your market. MasterPlans can build this document for you in as little as 10 days.
