Sales Examples
Before we dive in, let’s highlight a few fundamentals. As with everything, there are no guarantees in life.
These factors influence the numbers: Location, investment, training, culture, pricing, pet demand, quality of staff, transport offering and your own commitment…all of these have their part to play in how much you can earn.
When we look at the numbers there are a lot of variables to consider.
We have met day-care owners who were already sitting on the land and premises, one who was offered the land for pittance as long as the owner’s dog came for free and they maintained the land, plus others who have proactively found farmers, landowners or landlords and gone out and done their deal. Here’s are a few examples on the numbers, but you must do your own homework and corroborate our assumptions.
Sales Example 1 - Commercial Dog Day School
Assume you’re licensed for 30 dogs with a day-care daily charge of £25/dog @ 100% occupancy, which is very achieveable.
Over 5 days across 50 weeks (We recommend closing on bank holidays and at Christmas)
Sales: £187500 Plus, the option of significant additional revenues from grooming and training & veterinary services
Less: Costs/Expenses
Sales Example 2 - Commercial Dog Day School
Assume you’re licensed for 50 dogs @ 90% occupancy
45 dogs in commercial day-care @ £25 x 5 days/week x 50 weeks
= Sales: £312500
Plus signficant additional revenues from grooming and training & veterinary services
Less: Costs/Expenses
Costs include Rent, Rates, License fees, transport, fuel, phones/data bundle, insurance, staffing, franchise fees plus training, marketing and business insurance, tax etc
