Aussie Pet Grooming
Have you ever heard of Aussie Pet Grooming? It sounds like a special pet grooming method that must have been developed in Australia, and, I guess you could say, that in a way, that’s true. The company in Australia is really Aussie Pet Mobile, but most people refer to it as Aussie Pet Grooming. This Australian company is a pet mobile grooming service that originated in Sydney, Australia in 1966. The idea for this business came about due to the need for this type of service.
This mobile pet grooming service became so popular in Australia that it is now available in eleven countries including the United States, Japan, Canada, UK, Hong Kong and China. In 1999, Entrepreneur Magazine voted Aussie Pet Grooming as the #1 pet service in the world.
Custom Vans
Aussie Pet Mobile has customized Mercedes vans that deliver grooming services right at your location. These vans are equipped with everything that is needed to provide your pet with the ultimate grooming experience. Grooming tables, tools, and a heated hydro bath tub are just some of the equipment carried in each van.
In addition, each van is fully air conditioned and provides its own electricity and water, no need for any outside connections. All of the vans are staffed with certified and trained groomers that know how to pamper your pet. Just think, no more hauling your pet to the groomers in a stressful car trip. The groomer comes to your pet.
Aussie Pet Mobile Franchises
Aussie Pet Mobile is a franchise business that is constantly expanding its locations. There are advantages to owning this sort of business. No real estate is involved and very little or no serious competition. Most mobile pet groomers are small operations like a mom and pop business. You don’t have to worry about inventory or receivables. This is a cash operated business.
It is possible to run this business yourself or you can hire an employee to help, but there isn’t a need for a large staff. Several of the vans are equipped to fit two groomers. Sounds like a pretty good business, doesn’t it? You can ride around, have fun with other people’s pets and generate money doing it. There’s nothing like owning your own business and having fun at the same time.
Franchises are available and the initial costs include all tools. Now for the ultimate question. How much will it cost to get started in this business? A single unit costs around $50,000, with a multi-unit costing about $100,000. That may sound like a lot of money to get started, and it is, but when you compare this initial investment to the cost of buying or renting space and stocking the necessary equipment and supplies, it’s really a pretty good deal. Pets are a really big business. Just do a search on the internet for pet related products or services and you’ll be amazed at the results.
Built in Support System
Another advantage with franchises is that you will have a built in support system. These businesses have a proven system that enables their franchisees to succeed. The marketing side of the business is already handled and you will get the appropriate training on how to run your business successfully to produce a profit. Probably the nicest thing is that you decide how much business you want to do.
Now, are you wondering, how big of an area will you have to cover and do you need to do this business full time? Well, that’s really up to you. If you’ve ever wanted to own your own business and you love dogs and cats, this may be a business that you want to consider.
