Starting a Doggy Daycare

[Clare]

Hello All! Sorry I've been missing for a little while, I've just been busy!

We've met with our SBDC rep twice now and he's got us well on the way to a good solid business plan. We hope to be approaching the land owner soon to see how much of his 40 ares he'd be willing sell and for how much. We're aiming for owner financing because that will look good for the bank.

I have one question that is very hard to find the answer to. Does anyone know where to find a good resource for dog daycare start up industry financial information? What we're specifically looking for is the "recommended" percentage of occupancy costs compared to revenue. This will help us determine what we can truly afford to spend on the purchase of land/property.

Any info or pointers would be greatly appreciated!!

Thanks!
Clare

Well we're getting there. Hoping to go to the bank soon but just need to tie up some loose ends and lock down our biz plan.

I'll post again soon.
