Verified diligence flags

03 — L2 / L3 OSINT

Entity is dissolved. GA Secretary of State shows the Roswell store's named entities — Roswell Coin Laundry LLC (Ctrl# 11017136) and Inc. — both DISSOLVED (LLC formed 3 Mar 2011, dissolved 28 Jul 2011, no annual registration). Owner of record: Christopher Petit. Demand the seller's current operating entity + a Certificate of Existence before any LOI.

Margins run ~1.5× the norm. Seller-reported SDE implies ~58% margins against a 35–38% industry benchmark. Coin laundries are cash businesses — reported cash flow must be reconciled to three years of tax returns and bank deposits before the number is trusted. Triangulated comp on Buford Hwy (Amigo Coin) sold and now sits at 2.7★ with management complaints.

Financing & the engine

04 — SBA 7(a) · owner-operator
SBA readiness
  • ~10–20% down; DSCR ≥ 1.25× on verified SDE; 10-yr term (25-yr if real estate)
  • Lender will require 3 yrs returns reconciled to bank deposits — the margin flag is the gating item
  • Georgia SBA Preferred (PLP) lenders + SBA consultants compiled with direct numbers in the screening matrix; add Eastern Funding — specialty laundromat lender, faster SBA approvals (refresh 28 Jun 2026)
  • Certificate of Existence on the current entity before LOI
Why a laundromat fits the holdco

Semi-absentee, cash-flowing, recession-resilient — and a clean place to install the VERNA engine: AutoVox follow-up, automated attendant scheduling, pricing and machine-mix optimisation, and this reporting cadence. The acquisition lane stays gated until a greenfield horse or the job search produces the down payment.
