Laundry business sounds a better idea than the food import one which will presumably run into a lot of red tape (and do millionaire yacht owners eat enough crisps to make it worthwhile?).

tiptopcat, you did not say if your Sis has premises or will "contract out" the laundry, either way collection and delivery plus quick turnaround in many cases are vital.
|

she will start off doing the laundry from home and if the demand rises she will do from premises.
she already has one boat lined up for laundry each month with no advertising. she knows lots of captains who will use her instead of local french businesses. only needs a few a month for good wedge. to give some idea of mark up on ajar of marmite for example 1 jar sells for 8 euros from the main place supplying it in south of france. basically little luxuries for the crew not the guests who are all birt, safa , kiwi or oz.... |
