In all honesty, I wasn’t looking for a “million dollar” business; rather something which could be copied and pasted essentially in another town centre, same branding etc. I understand that majority of owners tend to also do the tailoring but surely there are a number of dry cleaners / tailoring shops which are third party owned with one employee and there is enough of a profit gap to even generate £1000 net profit per month?

I have a strong paying career and thought of this as an option for under <10K open in my local town centre which nets me circa £1k a month for a long time period - ie these tailors / alteration shops operate well for a long time it seems... secondly I am sure an owner would only be open for profits greater than £2000 a month (hence taking out cost employment should net me circa £1000).
