SUMMARY:Valuation of a Laundromat
DESCRIPTION:Placing a market value on self-service laundries is not an exact science and many factors need to be considered when determining how much a given laundry is worth. Valuation must take into consideration how much income the business generates\, the expenses that affect a particular property’s ability to maintain profitability\, the level of competition a facility faces in a given market area and other concerns. During this program\, panelists will discuss the basics of store valuation\, including the factors that value and de-value a laundry. Panelists:\n\n• Brian Brunckhorst\, Owner\, Advantage Laundry\n• Carol Dang\, Elite Business Investments Corp.\n• John Vassiliades\, J. Vassiliades & Company\n\nThe cost to attend this program is $49. Each person who registers will receive a recording of the program.\n[button link=”https://attendee.gotowebinar.com/register/2100760311249586190″ type=”big” newwindow=”yes”] REGISTER HERE[/button] \nPanelist Bios:\n\nJohn Vassiliades John started his career in the coin laundry industry over 40 years ago.
