What types of insurance does a laundromat business need?

Running a laundromat means relying on expensive machines, handling customer property, and operating in a public-facing space. Core coverages include: 

  • General Liability – Covers customer injuries such as slips on wet floors or property damage caused by malfunctioning equipment. 
  • Business Owner’s Policy (BOP) – Combines liability and property coverage, often including lost income protection if equipment failures or fires force you to close temporarily.
