I went to view a launderette for sale a few months ago which said it did £3000 a week, got to speak with one of the staff before owner came and she said that they have problems with staff nicking, the dry cleaning machine was older than god and the washers were making knocking noises, when the owner came he showed me around and we talked figures and mentioned that the business wasn't vat registered and that he was planning to go into liquidation.
Get the full story before you buy anything.
