Who Uses CLEANBI?
First-Time Buyers: Validate a location before making an offer. Avoid overpaying for a laundromat in a weak demographic area.
Investors & Fund Managers: Screen dozens of addresses quickly. Compare locations side-by-side to find the highest-grade opportunities.
Business Brokers: Include CLEANBI reports in listing packages. A-grade locations sell faster and command premium multiples.
Existing Owners: Score your current location to benchmark against the market. Use insights to optimize pricing, services, or plan an exit.
New-Build Developers: Evaluate vacant storefronts and strip mall spaces. CLEANBI identifies high-potential sites before you sign a lease.
Understanding Your Grade
A Grade (85+)
Excellent opportunity. Strong demographics, limited competition, high traffic. These locations typically generate $15K-$30K+/month.
B Grade (70-84)
Good opportunity. Solid fundamentals with room for strategic positioning. Most successful laundromats operate in B-grade locations.
C Grade (55-69)
Fair opportunity. Some challenges but can work with the right strategy, pricing, and services mix.
Needs Work (<55)
Requires strategic improvements. Consider different location, niche services, or significantly lower acquisition price.
