Want to own a laundry business where you can monitor in details without you being physically present? Perfectly ideal for OFW.
What you will be able to monitor daily in details.
- Actual Sales Per Day
- Actual Realised Sales Per day
- Kilos of laundry and dry cleaned per day
- Expenses amount and details, Accumulated expenses from the day you start the business.
- Records of the customer, when and how many times they came back. Their accumulated kilos, the ref receipt no.
- Customers who have yet to pay.
- The actual money the business is holding daily. (You’ll know on a daily basis whether there is a discrepancy between how much money the shop reported and how much money the shop should have).
- Needed amount to compensate all future expenses.
- Days of operation, staff schedule, and many others.
The best part, if you are already versatile with the business system, you’ll be able to update the above details for utmost 1 hour only anywhere you are as long as long as you have a laptop with excel on it, it won’t affect your day job.
The one thing I learned and foresaw was that, if you are to venture into business, start early while you are still working because, in starting a business, there are so many unknown factors which you will only able to realized along and while in the process. You can theorize and everything but, I can assure you that what actually might happen is not what you expected. Having the day job and by starting early, you'll have something to fall back and have time to recuperate. In fact, your day job might be the key for the business to be successful as most of those unknown factors need funding, this is where your day job comes in. The system in place will also help you decide whether it's futile or just a waste of time and money to keep going, it will help you decide to finally use the fallback plan to start recuperating or go on as you see the business potential. You can also use the data from the system to strategize on the marketing approach and you'll be able to know whether the strategy works or not as you'll see the charts whether it improves or not. From there, you'll be able to deduce the potential of the business.
