I would really enjoy it, and I heard you get to work your own hours and can earn a lot. If you run a business doing this, how do you find it?
And are there better companies to be a franchisee with eg: Hydrodog, Aussie Pooch or Jim's??Do you run your own mobile dog wash business
i actually used to own a hydrodog franchise in qld and loved it. yes you can work your own hours, yes you can charge what you want, yes you can earn what you like. although it is hard work but if you love dogs and you have good ppl skills (as the ppll have to like you too) and are responsible and show up when you say you will your business will go great. i was making over $1000 a week and only working 20-30hours. but its not easy. you do have to put in alot of effort at the start and you dont get too much back. but after a few months you'll reap the rewards if you do everything well.
by the way i went a franchise as i had never owner my own business and they help you out heaps with the advertising and how to run a business. i thought this was terrific. as i was worried about the business side of things. i think a franchise is an excellent option when you have never run your own business as they have aldready made a name for themselves. but you do have to pay franchise costs for this. please please please research all the franchisors in your area. some go on percentages for fees, others are a flat fee (which is great when you start earning lots but not so good when you arent making anything). hydrodog is set fee. but call them all and set up meetings with the head franchisee and see what they can offer you. also bargain with them at the cost of the franchise. they do deals even if they say they dont. and do not just go with a company coz you like the head franchisor, go with them for the fees, the structure they have for the business, what the future for the business is, the fees and then how much you like the head franchisor as you will be dealing with them wheneva you have any problems.
also go out with a few of the ppl who own them with different companies. you will learn alot from the ppl. but make sure the head franchisor doesnt push you to go with one particular person as this person might just say anything to suck up to the head franchisor.
anyways best of luck and any questions please e-mail me. but i loved the job. it does get hard, it does get wet, you do get dirty but if you are fine with that and dont think its all cute puppies you should be fine. i loved it and the only reason i sold was due to a move. i am actually thinking of getting back into it with the franchise as i belive you would have to put in way too much time to build my own small business with a good name. this way i can start making money quickly and not worry so much about advertising ect.
Do you run your own mobile dog wash business
I can not answear for australia but i can give general advice. I own a mobil servise in the usa. No need to franchise, it is a waste of good money you still need to go out and build your own client base and peple are loyal to a groomer not a brand. We have franchises here as well and they do nothing to ensure your sucess.
If you have not groomed as a pro work in a shop first, you really need this time and will learn a lot from your fellow employees. Once you know you are up to speed go for it! I have done very well on my own and I wish you a sucessful career
Just washing dogs? I don't know how you would make money just washing dogs most people can bath there dog them self's. If this is a mobile grooming then yes I can understand but you don't need to go with a franchise to do this you ca buy a mobile grooming van or trailer.
i think you sould go ahead its the best job ever
