Passive Income Opportunity – Manager-Run Grooming Business
Business Description
This well-established, premium dog grooming spa represents a high-performing, service-based investment offering reliable cash flow, steady growth, and hands-off management. Located in a high-income suburb, the business has maintained consistent topline performance over the last 3 years and presently.
Unlike most owner-operated grooming shops, this business operates under a manager-led model, requiring very minimal remote oversight by the current owner.

The result is a business that functions as an absentee cash flow generator suitable for investors or owners seeking passive income.
