Drive thru laundry is laundry business is a good idea but it is not a new idea. Few companies hav begun to franchise their dirve through laundromat business.To start a drive thru laundry doesnot require much business knowledge or experience. But only constraint is it should have the good location.it should ideally be established on busy roads,and business areas street visibilty and accessebilty for walking customersparking and overall building condition should also appearance are also important. So now the main problem is procurement of capital,capital raising in present situation is a very big issue,becoz banks are in defficiet position and bnks are not ready to giv loans and like personal family friend lending money also becomes difficult becoz everbody is facing the sam issue lockdown problem. If we opt for boot strapping ie utlising our resources this will olso be a problem fuelling and maintaince. Every road is bloked nd we hav police every where. There is a high chance of spreading also becoz this covid 19 can spread through clothes also. So according to me this idea cannot be impelmented in present scenario.
