Dry cleaners are a core business in any community. They treat our most expensive clothes and fabrics and are a regular stop for most people. As a business, owners enjoy relatively stable income, but there are fairly high up-front capital requirements. The expense of the initial set-up makes buying and selling established dry cleaning businesses popular.
If you are looking to buy or sell a dry cleaner business, it helps to have some context on the market, and to understand how they are valued. Below, we have aggregated financial data from current and recent listings to provide some benchmarks on valuation and financial performance of dry cleaning businesses. All data is based on broker and business owner provided financial information.

How do I value a dry cleaning business?
Valuing a dry cleaning business involves considering several factors, including annual revenue, profit margins, and market conditions.
