Paws in the Park is a professional dog walking and pet sitting service and has been operating for the past 16 years across Perth suburbs in Western Australia. The business is a well-known, established brand that specialises in a pack walking.

Benefits of this unique opportunity:

High potential earnings: Potential earnings of $128,700+ gross revenue per year under the current strategy if the new business owner works in the business and walks the dogs themselves – more information on the strategy will be provided on request further information.

Database of 500+ clients: Our software houses a database of over 500 client contacts that have used our services. This list could be utilised to expand the current business in a short space of time. Contacts can be used to facilitate expansion into other complementary areas such as dog washing and grooming which is in high demand throughout Perth.

Highly ranked website and Facebook page: You will own the beautifully designed and highly ranked website that always appears on the first page of Google when searching dog walking in Perth. We also have potential clients reach us through our Facebook page.

A steady stream of new enquiries: Due to the high-ranking website and Facebook page, the business attracts a steady stream of new client enquiries. This is one of the greatest benefits of purchasing this business since most business owners struggle to acquire new client enquiries. Over the last 12 months, we have had 26 regular pack walking enquiries that if we had adequate staffing (see below for more on staffing) would have bought in $132,756 in gross revenue, which is what I'm basing the sale price on.

Intellectual property: You will have access to the intellectual property developed and refined over the last 16 years. This includes a comprehensive marketing manual, operations manual, recruitment manual, systems and processes for each aspect of running the business and template emails to name. You will also have access to an online worksheet that will be used for training and ongoing logging of tasks and financial information.

Marketing: You will have access to a comprehensive marketing strategy and marketing materials to help expand the business quickly.

Training and Coaching: A unique opportunity is available for the new business owner. The current owner also owns a successful management consultancy company in Melbourne and because she wants to see Paws in the Park fly once again, as part of the sale price she is offering three hours of monthly training and coaching each month for a 12-month period to help the new owner get the highest possible return on their investment.

Summary of benefits:

• Potential earnings of $132,756 gross revenue per annum
• Established brand of 16 years in the marketplace
• Excellent reputation in the industry
• 500+ database of clients who have previously used our services
• First-page ranking website
• Marketing copy and design
• Professional online software with client contact information
• Access to 16 years’ worth of intellectual property
• Training and consulting for 3 hours each month for 12 months with the goal
of earning the investment back within 3 years

Who would this opportunity suit?

This unique opportunity would ideally suit an ambitious, passionate individual or couple who want to own and build a profitable business in an expanding industry. In order to get the highest return for your investment and to maximise profits, the new owner/s would work directly with the animals walking the dogs Monday to Friday.

Why are we selling?

The reason for sale is because the current owner resides in Melbourne running a successful management consultant company. The current policies implemented by the Western Australian Government have made it increasingly difficult for small business owners to recruit good quality staff. The issues began with handouts from the government which meant potential staff didn’t need to work to get paid, followed by the vaccine mandates which have cut out a portion of the workforce and now the border has been closed ‘indefinitely’. The above has meant recruiting good people has become near impossible, hence why we have had to inform our last remaining regular weekly pack walking clients and any new enquiries that we don’t have the resources to service them. The business is no longer servicing or taking on any new clients due to staff shortages.

However, this does present an opportunity for one lucky new owner who lives in Perth, Western Australia and is excited by the idea of a hands-on role of walking dogs and wants to build the business back up to its former glory, with the help of the original owner.

If you have the funds and are ready to take control over your own income and not be reliant on an employer, this might be the right investment for you.
