There are many factors that figure in the price of a Laundromat for sale. One has to take into consideration the factors mentioned on Before You Buy a Laundromat and above all look at the revenue and income statements.
The ROI (Return On Equity) rate will vary depending on the age of the equipment, long term potential, lease terms, general store conditions. But you will usually find newer Laundromats asking for higher multiples of yearly income than older operation. Ranges of multiples can go from 4 times annual income to 6 times annual income but each case is unique and thus different factor should be considered. The best way to do an appraisal is to have a broker do it for you in addition to hiring an independent auditor who understand the industry. A broker who is selling you a Laundromat will always paint a favorable picture to the seller's interest as he wants that 10% commission. An independent auditor on the other hand gets paid a one time fee to give you an unbiased assessment of the business.
