Financing for Dry Cleaners & Laundromats
A laundry business runs on machinery, and that machinery is the major capital cost. A new industrial washer, a high-capacity dryer, a modern dry-cleaning machine, a press or a full coin and card laundromat refit can climb well past the ~$70,000 finance mark — and energy-efficient kit pays you back through lower running costs over time. A working-capital or equipment facility lets you replace ageing machines, upgrade to lower-energy models, or fit out a new site without draining the cash you need for power, rent and wages.
Common questions
Dry Cleaners & Laundromats — business loan questions
Can I finance a full laundromat fit-out?
Often yes. A bank of washers and dryers, payment systems and the fit-out can usually be funded as a package so you spread the cost over the life of the equipment. Cockatoo helps match you to a lender that understands laundry and dry-cleaning businesses.
Will newer machines really pay for themselves?
Energy-efficient washers and dryers use less power, water and gas per load, which can meaningfully cut running costs in a utility-heavy business. Financing the upgrade lets you capture those savings now rather than keep paying to run old, inefficient equipment.
