Try prefixing what they do with a solid word like "Sure". For example Sureclean, Surewash.

tiptopcat, processing sheets at home is a very hard way to make money, Duvets even harder. Washing is ok but finishing( drying + ironing) is the difficult bit. providing that you have little or no competition then you (She) will be ok a hand finished item can command a high end value. A modern industrial laundry can finish 700 sheets per hour on one (calender) machine=thats 5.14 seconds per piece, no way can anyone compete with that cost wise.

thanks for that last bit of info. well she would be charging what the current laundries in south of france charge. i can only assume these laundries dont have these facilities or they are completely taking the mikey ref the prices charged. the advantage of servicing this industry is that no one really cares too much about cost as it isnt their money. its some multi millionaire / billionaire paying the bills....
intersting though as that could potentially be the way for her to go in the future. |

I'm not sure the two halves of the business are really compatable? I mean, I can see how the employees of wealthy yacht-owners might well go for the easy option of an outside cleaner. Aren't their employers though, likely to have tastes more sophsticated than a demand for marmite, bovril and yorkshire pudding?

If the business takes off then you could purchase small industrial machines, that will fit in small (a room ) premises. a lot of small hotels use them in their OPL's, (on premise laundry) to excellent effect. this link might be interesting to you...http://www.laundryandcleaningnews.com.
Good luck with it, incidently some individuals have developed excellent businesses by providing a first class shirt service. this can be started by finishing by hand and if the business grows then upgrade to a "Shirtmaster" finishing machine. Good luck |

Spick and Span
or Spic and Span. These days it means clean and tidy, but it's a term from shipyards of the past meaning that a ship is new and in good order. Thinking of that, she could use Ship Shape. Pret-a-Naviguer or Pret-a-Partir could also work. |

the laundry services would be for smaller boarts which dont have the facilities on board and the food provisions side of things would be for all the boats specificasll for crew.
a big ish boat would have loads of food on board so would buy for example 20 jars marmite at a time several times a season. multiply this across numerous boats and it mounts up. excellent advise ref laundry. thanks very much, it is appreciated.... |

Hmmm... boats, and british food. Perhaps summit to do with piracy (topical) and unhealthy english food.
If your sis is a bit of a chubby, then how about Plunder Pies? |

How many super yachts are there in France
Has she done any research? |

By:
I remember The Apprentice team wanted to charge £4 per pillow case to be laundered. How we laughed.

Maybe she confused with the P&O ferries.
|
|
By:
she has worked on them for the last few years as have I. there are plenty of them down there. I would guess in Cannes, Nice, Antibes and Monaco there is probably 2 to 300 hundred.
no she isnt a chubber! haha. although is slightly large at mo due to bei8ng pregggers.... |
|
By:
mmmmmmmmm big margin between 2 300
|

By:
my guess. not hers. although in all honesty i would imagine she hasnt checked this out either in terms of an absolute figure.

tiptopcat, I have been involved in the service industry, image is paramount, for example, when canvassing prospective clients or even just making a collection/delivery it really helps smartly dressed in company livery, this can be as basic as a polo shirt with logo and smartly pressed trousers/skirt. Navy is always a safe colour option.
Sorry if I am stating the bl00dy obvious but the clientele you have mentioned expect this as a minimum, and should be allowed for in start up costs vehicle livery being the most expensive. |
