Retail dog grooming business established over ten years in growing area.
Southeast Michigan - Canton Area

With over ten years in business, this dog grooming salon attracts customers with no advertising. New business comes through online referrals where they have won excellence in service awards for seven years. The business is selective and does not take all customers. They have 350+ regular / pre-booking clients and are currently not taking any new customers. The Canton area is growing and there is only more potential business to be had even with no marketing. Wayne county has allocated millions of dollars to bring even more commerce to this immediate area. There is room for one more grooming station.

Dog grooming is a skilled trade that has a shortage of skilled labor. A new owner-operator can grow the business by adding staff / hours. Different dogs can take different lengths of time. The average charge for grooming is about $60.

The current owner is interested in reducing her responsibilities and commitment to the area over time, enabling her the freedom to relocate. The current owner works full time in the business and is willing to stay on as a power groomer for the new owner for a year or more. This will ensure ample time for training the right candidate who must have grooming experience or be excited to work with dogs.

The owner has two part-time W-2 commission-based employees who also get paid a little bit hourly for shop cleaning and maintenance tasks. The owner takes 57-59% of earnings from her 2 part-time W2 employees who use tools and supplies provided by the shop. Other shops may 1099 their groomers and pay a higher percentage since there would be no employment taxes and those groomers would typically have their own tools and supplies. One of the employees works about 4 days a week doing 3-5 dogs a day and the other works 3-4 days a week doing 3-5 dogs per day. The owner and 2 employees average a total of 60 dogs per week. Quality tools and equipment are kept in great working condition. A list of professional service technicians and supply distributors will be provided to a new owner.

Under new ownership, the current owner will work as a 1099 contractor keeping 65%. This is the market rate for 1099 groomers. The employees will remain W2 employees and keep 41-43%.

This is a small business run by a hard-working owner. The owner has a tax advisor but does not use a bookkeeper or accounting, point-of-sale or scheduling software. The owner tracks appointments and expenses manually. The business takes cash and checks, no credit cards.
