Business Overview:
This Nebraska based dog training & boarding business has an extremely diverse client base and a new, large facility. This facilities’ client base includes individual pet owners, veterinarians, and both corporate and independent pet stores. Selling at a low multiple with a 72% profit margin in 2021, this business is a great opportunity for pet lovers and entrepreneurs alike to expand their professional horizons. The current owner spends about 10 hours a week on the business; mostly out of preference and has offered a 6 month training period to ensure a smooth transition. Proven methods and customer service set this dog care business apart from the competition. The business trains service dogs over long-term periods as well as offering shorter training periods for dogs and daily daycare services. The 5 person staff is extremely competent, with each staff member able to both train and care for dogs.
This business is poised to grow with a new, relocated indoor facility which allows plenty of space for training and the 24 included large kennels. With growth shown during Covid and this business is on a continued upward trajectory, despite doing almost no marketing and relying mostly on their excellent reputation and word of mouth referrals. Continued expansion of services, particularly online services, could take this business to the next level. The current owner recommends maintaining their current focus of excellent customer service and transparency. A 10% down payment of $61,000 returns $156,056 in the first year after debt payments, a 255% return on investment!
