About the Opportunity
This is your chance to become the owner of a readymade franchise business. This is for the entire ‘National’ franchise, not just a single area.
This is an exciting opportunity to purchase an 'off the shelf business' at an exceptional price offering you flexible hours and comfortable earning potential from your franchisees. No formal qualifications are required. This is a National franchise model, fully built and established, ready to go, virtually "out of the box"
Why is dog walking such a popular business to be involved in?
We are very much a nation of dog lovers with an estimated 8.5 million dogs living in the UK. We spend around £4.6 billion pounds every year on our beloved canines, with that figure increasing annually. Statistics show that professional dog walkers now earn 20% more than the average UK salary, making Dog Walking Business a viable and potentially profitable business opportunity.
This is an opportunity to become the ‘Franchisor’ of an established franchise model, with an opportunity to sell further franchises Nationwide and receiving ongoing commissions and fees from your franchises. You will be the outright owner of the entire franchise.
Potential earnings for your franchisees
A target number of around 13 dogs per day, either solo or in groups, can easily be achieved. Prices do vary, dependent upon the area, but the average range is between £10 and £15 per hour. Therefore, the bigger the group, the more you can earn per hour. Statistics reveal that professional dog walkers exercise around 192 dogs per month with an average charge of £11.50 per hour. This equates to an annual earning of £26,496. This figure could be achieved by exercising 13 dogs a day and working just 15 days per month making the earning potential greater. Depending on your area and the applicable price per hour, you could earn between £130 and £195 per day (based on 13 dogs). You could further increase the earnings potential by offering additional services, such as pet visits for less mobile dogs and day boarding.
Potential earnings as the franchise owner
You would expect to take around 10% as standard monthly fees from each of your franchisees. Based on the above figures, this would work out around £200 per month, per franchisee. With this business, you have over 300 territories you can sell, giving a potential of up to 300 franchisees each paying around £200 per month (potential £60,000 per month if all territories were sold)
It is extremely difficult to overcome all the hurdles in creating a franchise in the UK, however, this is a ready-made package that has been painstakingly put together, allowing the owner instant access to becoming a Franchisor and National franchise owner with huge potential.
