I’ve looked at 100+ doggie daycares and acquired 2. Sorry @girdley@BillDA and @thegeneralmills but if you’re not already in the biz, I’d highly recommend staying away from this one… here are the turds…
Margins are way too high. Meaning they’re understaffing. Meaning it’s probably not super safe, and that chicken bone issue is mitigated today by the owner.
Good luck finding a 50k manager that can handle chicken bones.

Selling a business can be confusing.
Here's the full checklist you need to prepare for a sale...
As @simonsinek says, start with "why".
Every potential buyer will ask you that question, so it helps to have a good answer.
Ready to retire? Want to do something else? Business isn't what you expected? All are great answers, just prepare for the question.

My NoCode setup for our Dog daycares has been game changing. Allows us to scale sales, customer service, and marketing across new locations and provides great insight into every aspect of the business.
He’s what we use #smbtwit#smb 👇🏻
It starts with @ActiveCampaign forms. We run google/Meta ads to native landing pages on our website. One form, select by location.
Active campaign conversion analytics + google + meta all get dropped into notion. More on that later.
