Hi there,
Thought I may be able to give you some advice you need.
I set up my ironing company 10 years ago, which I now run with my partner. We charge by the hour, and also charge for delivery & collection.
Everything is professionally wrapped, labbelled named and numbered. This helps ensuring all the ironing is returned to the correct owners. We supply trouser guards, hangers, skirt clips, polybags, polywrap etc.
We have several people working for us. I just do the organising now. I did iron for about 60 hours a week when I started the business, but that's how I am where I am today. I have my own ironing done everyweek.
You may have to do quite alot of ironing yourself to start with until you get a good client base. Then you can employ someone to help.
Hope this has been useful...please feel free to ask any other questions that you feel you need to know.
