Interested in Starting a Coin Laundry Business? Here’s What You Need to Prepare!

If you're looking for a profitable side business, a coin laundry business could be a promising opportunity—especially in big cities where most people are too busy to handle household chores like doing laundry.

With time constraints becoming more common, the demand for laundry services continues to grow. Moreover, laundry is a long-term business since washing clothes is a basic daily need that will never go away. So, let’s explore the coin laundry business in more detail in the article below!

 

What is a Coin Laundry Business?

A coin laundry business is a self-service laundry service that operates using coins to run washing and drying machines. This concept allows customers to wash their clothes independently without assistance from laundry staff.

In today’s fast-paced world, coin laundries have become one of the most promising business models. With a modern and practical approach—and increasing demand—this service has proven to be a sustainable business opportunity.

 

Advantages of Coin Laundry Business

Compared to traditional laundry services, coin laundries are more practical since customers handle the entire process themselves. Here are some notable benefits of the coin laundry business:

●      Requires fewer employees

●      Fast and convenient process

●      High market demand for laundry services

●      Easy business management thanks to automated machines and payment systems

●      High potential for business expansion

●      Attractive return on investment (ROI), around 20%–35%
 

Initial Capital for a Coin Laundry Business

Before starting a coin laundry business, several investments must be made. Below are the key components:

1. Automatic Washing Machines and Dryers

Your primary asset will be automatic washing and drying machines. The number of machines can be adjusted based on your budget and the size of your business space. Machine prices typically range from IDR 50 million to IDR 150 million.

2. Business Location and Permits

Choose a strategic location with high market potential. Consider decorating your store to make it attractive to customers. If buying property is out of budget, you can rent a space, usually costing around IDR 30 million to IDR 50 million per year.

Make sure your business has proper legal documents, including:

●      Business Identification Number (NIB) via the OSS (Online Single Submission) system

●      Taxpayer Identification Number (NPWP) in your or your company’s name

●      Business Domicile Certificate, if required by local authorities

●      Environmental permits, especially for residential areas

●      Approval from neighborhood (RT/RW) or local government, based on regional regulations

Having complete legal documentation will make your coin laundry business more trustworthy in the eyes of both customers and the government.

3. Supporting Equipment

Aside from washing machines, dryers, and space, you’ll need supporting tools such as:

●      Tables

●      Cleaning equipment

●      Laundry baskets

●      Coin/token stock

●      Utility costs (electricity and water), and others

4. Management System

A smooth business operation requires a good management system. Make sure to prepare:

●      Staff training

●      Payment software

●      Marketing strategy

●      Financial tracking

●      Inventory management
