W L.A. Pet Care – Home Based!

This established home-based pet care company is ideal for the entrepreneurial pet enthusiast who seeks to earn a living assisting pets and their owners. This feel good business was established in 2003, and had steadily grown, increased its client base, and refined its business model ever since. As such, the home based business runs like a well oiled machine that can be managed fully or semi-absentee (as it currently is), or preferably with a full-time working owner to maximize profitability. The business can be run remotely, from anywhere in the country, however a working owner living in the Greater West Los Angeles area and ‘in-tune’ with the local market and local events would likely have a natural advantage in maximizing probability.

This business has a great deal of upside potential. An active owner-operator could not only save on wage expenses and retain more revenues ‘in-house’, but more importantly, they can pro-actively participate in the laundry list of potential guerilla style marketing strategies. At present, this business relies on its recurring customer base of approximately 700 active clients, word of mouth recommendations, and the franchisor’s active and passive marketing efforts.

Only a phone line, computer or Blackberry are necessary to run this company. This company is a franchise, and a buyer will have to qualify with the franchisor. The franchise territory, as well as transfer fee, is included in the asking price.

This well established firm has 1 similar sized Los Angeles based competitor, as well as several ‘mom and pop’ local competitors. No firm, however, has the advantages that this franchise brings to the table in terms of national marketing, national presence, relationships with established retailers, best practices for success, etc.

As the current owner is no longer a wholly active participant in the business, the company could tremendously benefit form the benefits of a working owner.
