2.0 Business Description
2.1 Industry Overview
The laundry and
dry cleaning industry in Nigeria is fast evolving from traditional handwashing
services to more sophisticated and automated operations. With Lagos being the
most urbanized state, the demand for professional laundry services is
continuously rising. Working professionals, students, and corporate
organizations prefer outsourcing their laundry needs due to lack of time,
increasing demand for convenience, and the importance of garment care.
The growth of
the middle class and tech penetration (smartphones, digital payments) in Lagos
make the market ripe for professional laundries with logistics and app-based services.
2.2 Business Model
CrystalFresh will operate both
from a physical location and via mobile logistics. Customers can walk in to
drop their laundry or schedule pickups through phone calls or our future mobile
app. Once cleaned, items will be delivered within 24–72 hours depending on
service type (express, regular, or premium).
We will also implement a customer
loyalty program offering discounts and exclusive offers. Additionally, we will
target institutions and office buildings for volume-based corporate contracts.
2.3 Legal and Ownership
Structure
CrystalFresh Dry Cleaners is
registered with the Corporate Affairs Commission (CAC) as a sole
proprietorship. It will adhere to all environmental, labor, and taxation
regulations as stipulated by local authorities in Lagos State.
