The Owner’s Desk: worksheets that keep assumptions visible
A collection of focused worksheets for checking small-business numbers and organizing records.
- For
- Prospective laundromat buyers checking washer-income claims
- Worth noticing
- A synthetic 10,000-gallon example pairs two cycle mixes with different receipts: $2,100 versus $2,400.
Field notes
The worked example holds the water total, machines, prices, and January period constant while changing the cycle mix: 800 small and 100 large cycles produce $2,100, versus 200 small and 400 large producing $2,400. The page labels the figures synthetic and says water totals cannot establish which scenario occurred; the worksheet is framed as a way to organize questions, not verify source records or advise a purchase. The broader catalog also lists tools for investigator chronology, guardian cash accounts, machine-shop quotes, and consignment statements.
