Pam Turner is the new owner of Poly Clean in Mountain Home.
When the opportunity to purchase the established laundry business arose, Turner’s first stop was to visit her lender, Christine Lewis of FNBC. The bank referred her to the Arkansas State University ASBTDC for assistance.
The center’s Laura Miller discussed licenses and permits, taxes, financing options, and marketing ideas with Turner. She also provided industry and market research to help Turner better understand the market and her customer base, along with cash flow analysis.
Turner also attended the center’s “Small Business Financing Options” seminar in Mountain Home.
She secured financing from FNBC to purchase Poly Clean, assuming ownership of the business in August.
In addition to self-serve coin laundry, Poly Clean offers drop off and pick up service. Turner is busy making improvements to the facility and securing additional commercial accounts.
