About the Author:

Chris Price is the author of The Laundromat Handbook, a guide to due diligence and valuation for the laundromat industry. Like many others, Chris got into the laundromat business with dreams of greatness: buy the store and watch those coins start piling up! But only after going through his first deal, did he realize how much he didn't know. After making a few stumbles himself, he is sharing some of the information he has learned as a laundry owner.

In addition to being an aspiring laundry mogul, Chris has spent about ten years in the "business" world. First, he worked for several years as a financial analyst in an investment bank and later as a Management Consultant at a top tier strategy consulting firm. In between, he received his MBA at a top business school and passed the three levels of the Chartered Financial Analyst (CFA) program.

But only since becoming an owner in the Laundromat did he really learned what it means to identify value in a business.
