Is the dry cleaning business still a profitable business?

What kind of net (profit) can I expect to make if I purchase an existing dry cleaning business. Seller tells me @ $300,000/year & 5-6 employees she nets $100k even though she reported increasing losses in '05 & '06. She says she can prove the (net) numbers; am I stepping into a land mine?

Are the profits realistic? How can I cover myself.....HELP! Asked by Tragic 45 months ago Similar questions: dry cleaning business profitable Business.

It's not hard. Demand the seller finance the sale, with you having the right to walk away from the deal if the business does not work as she promises after 1 year and 2 years. After three years, you have to arrange other financing and pay off the balance of the loan.

Not only will this give you financing, it will get you in the door, and it will provide her with incentive to train you well, so you can run the business well. If she is not honest and the business can not perform as she promises, it will soon be her problem again (I would say, 10% down in YOUR money should be enough to cover. An interest only loan on the $270k at 6% would provide her some income while she is making sure you are profitable in her business.My cousin was trying to sell his business, and this was the deal he finally had to accept in order to get someone to take it over.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
