Laundry business often called dry cleaning business involves washing, drying, starching and ironing of clothes or clothings for individual(s). It is a business that requires no special talent and it's very profitable with low risk. The business does not require huge capital and it can be operated as a full-time or part-time business. Also, it is not gender selective.
With the growing rate of unemployment in Nigeria, one can venture into the business to be self-employed and be able to cater for ones well-being. Though, many Nigerian youths see the business as a slow means to being rich due to the get-rich-quick syndrome in our society but have forgotten the verse of the Bible that encourages little beginning (Zechariah 4:10).
It is often said that you are addressed the way you dress; no reasonable human will want to attend a function or meeting in dirty or unironed outfit (cleanliness is next to Godliness), this makes laundry an essential service to every human's daily activity.
