Every VAT return and tax filing is handled accurately.
Helping Laundry Operators Control Costs and Grow Revenue
Laundry operators need more than basic compliance. ABM Chartered Accountants prepares income schedules, utility cost analysis, equipment allowance claims, staff payroll and tax planning, giving owners clear visibility over service margins, energy costs and overall profitability per site.

Frequently Asked Questions
Here are answers to common questions dry cleaners, launderette operators and commercial laundry providers ask about specialist accounting.
How is laundry service income recorded?
Retail dry cleaning is recorded at point of sale. Commercial contract income is recognised over the service period. Coin-operated launderette takings need accurate cash recording reconciled against machine meter readings.
What equipment qualifies for capital allowances?
Washing machines, dryers, ironing presses, dry cleaning machines, boilers and water softeners qualify for Annual Investment Allowance at 100%. This provides significant upfront relief on capital-intensive equipment investment.
How are high utility costs managed?
Water, gas and electricity represent major operating costs. Tracking utility spend per machine or site identifies inefficiencies. Energy costs are deductible and should be monitored against revenue to protect margins.
Do dry cleaners need an environmental permit?
Yes. Dry cleaning operations using solvents like perchloroethylene require an environmental permit under the Solvent Emissions Directive. COSHH compliance for chemical handling and proper waste disposal are also mandatory.
How are delivery services accounted for?
Collection and delivery vans qualify for capital allowances. Fuel, insurance and maintenance are deductible. Route-based operations should track delivery costs against the revenue each round generates for profitability analysis.
Can ABM support laundry businesses nationwide?
Yes. ABM Chartered Accountants serves laundry and dry cleaning businesses across England using secure cloud-based platforms, delivering specialist accounting to dry cleaners, launderettes and commercial laundry providers.
