What permissions and licenses would be required to make a washing machine?
Answers
Explanation:
Find an appropriate location. Choose an area that is accessible to or populated by your target market. Rent a space near apartment buildings to attract customers who do not have laundry machines at home. Avoid opening a store with nearby competition. Select a location with off-street parking, if possible, for customer convenience. Buy an existing laundry business to save time and money locating equipment.
Secure permits and registration. Visit your city clerk to apply for a business license. Ask if your municipality requires you to have a health department license, fire department permit or air and water pollution control permit. Pay any sewer connection and waste water fees required by your city clerk.
Market your laundry business. Advertise locally by placing door hangers on apartment building doors. Include a list of your services and offer coupons to new customers. Differentiate your laundry business from your competition by emphasizing any specialized services or perks, such as televisions, free wireless Internet and couches. Hang fliers on local bulletin boards and place ads in print or online newspapers.
