Searching for a laundromat for sale in Melbourne? You’ve come to the right place. Mercury Business Sales & Valuation specialises in connecting motivated buyers with profitable laundry businesses across metropolitan Melbourne and Victoria.
Whether you’re looking for a simple coin laundry for sale, a full-service laundromat business, or a combined laundry and dry-cleaning operation, our team of experienced business brokers will guide you through every step of the process with confidence and clarity.
Not all laundry businesses are the same. Understanding the different formats available will help you identify the right opportunity for your budget, lifestyle goals, and investment strategy.
The most common format on the market. Coin-operated or card-pay machines, minimal staffing, and straightforward operations make coin laundries an ideal entry-level investment. Ideal for investors seeking a low-maintenance, semi-passive business.
A step up from coin laundries, full-service laundromats may include wash-and-fold services, ironing, and pickup/delivery options. Higher revenue potential with slightly more operational involvement.
Combined laundry and dry-cleaning operations offer diversified revenue streams and typically attract a premium clientele. These businesses command higher sale prices but deliver strong margins for experienced operators.
Servicing hotels, hospitals, aged care facilities, and hospitality venues, commercial laundry operations offer B2B contract revenue and predictable cash flow. Well-suited to investors with operational management experience.
Prices vary significantly based on location, turnover, lease terms, and whether equipment or fit-out is included. Entry-level opportunities can start from $80,000–$150,000, while established, high-revenue venues may command $500,000 or more. Our brokers can help you identify options within your budget.
Experience is valuable but not always essential. Many buyers leverage experienced staff and management teams to run daily operations. However, understanding the industry — or being willing to learn quickly — significantly improves outcomes. We can connect you with advisors to help bridge any knowledge gaps.
Inclusions vary by listing but typically cover the lease assignment, kitchen and front-of-house equipment, existing stock, supplier accounts, brand assets (name, social media, website), and staff. Some sales may also include the freehold property. Always review inclusions carefully with a solicitor.
Common options include business loans from major banks or specialist lenders, self-managed super funds (SMSFs) for property-inclusive purchases, vendor finance arrangements, or private investor partnerships. Our brokers can refer you to finance specialists experienced in hospitality acquisitions.
Liquor licences are often transferable but are subject to Liquor Control Victoria approval. The process and timeline vary. We flag licence details clearly in each listing and can guide you through the transfer process.
We require vendors to provide verified financials — typically 2–3 years of BAS statements, point-of-sale reports, and tax returns — before listing. We recommend all buyers engage an independent accountant to review these documents during due diligence.
