Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Do I need to create an LLC before buying a laundromat?
Yes. An LLC (Limited Liability Company) helps protect your personal assets from business liabilities. You should set it up before signing contracts or leases. It also allows you to open a business bank account and legally structure ownership.
Q: What's the difference between an Asset Purchase and a Stock Purchase?
Asset Purchase: You buy only the equipment, lease, customer list, and brand not the seller's business entity. This limits your exposure to past debts or lawsuits.
Stock Purchase: You buy the entire business entity, including liabilities. This is rarely recommended for laundromats unless you have a specific legal/financial strategy. Pro Tip: Stick with asset purchases unless advised otherwise by an attorney or CPA.
Q: Should I have a lawyer review the lease?
Yes, 100%. Commercial leases can be tricky. An attorney can:
- Clarify responsibilities for repairs and taxes
- Spot hidden clauses that raise your risk
- Help negotiate better terms like exclusivity or early termination
Q: Can I get out of a lease if the business fails?
It depends. Most leases don't have a built-in exit clause. You should negotiate one before signing:
- Ask for a 'business failure clause' (termination option if revenue drops significantly)
- Ask for a limited personal guarantee (12 months max)
Q: Do I need a business license to operate a laundromat?
Requirements vary by city and county. You may need:
- General business license
- Sales tax certificate (if selling retail or vending)
- Water/sewer compliance
- Occupancy permit from the city
Q: Who handles existing employees when I buy a laundromat?
Its up to you. Employees do not automatically transfer. You can:
- Hire them fresh under your company
- Or release them entirely
Important: If you retain staff, use new employment agreements.
Q: What if there are unpaid taxes or debts from the previous owner?
That’s why you do an asset purchase. In an asset sale, the seller keeps their debts. Still, your attorney should:
- Request a tax clearance certificate
- Confirm utility accounts are clear before closing
Q: Do I need insurance before taking over?
Yes. You should have:
- General liability (slips, injuries)
- Property insurance (fire, flood, equipment)
- Workers' comp (if hiring employees)
Have your policy start on the day of closing.
Q: Can I use seller financing without a bank?
Yes. Seller financing is a private agreement. You don’t need a bank, but you do need:
- A promissory note
- A signed purchase agreement
- Clear payment terms (interest, schedule, penalties)
Make sure it's legally binding and reviewed.
Q: What legal docs do I need to close the deal?
- Purchase Agreement (Asset Sale)
- Bill of Sale (proof of transfer)
- Lease Assignment or New Lease
- Promissory Note (if seller financed)
- Resale Certificate (if collecting sales tax)
