Business Description
Sold Free & Clear | Recurring Clientele | SBA-Eligible | Est. 2016
Premium mobile pet grooming business serving affluent neighborhoods across Los Angeles. No storefront or lease to assume; vans need only parking and storage. The entire operation runs out of three Wag'n Tails grooming vans.

Three groomers handle the bulk of grooming work. Owner manages scheduling, operations, and client relationships, and grooms one day a week (about 5% of grooming revenue). The business is set up so the day-to-day runs on the team, not the owner.

Two of the three vans run at near-full capacity. The third is maintained as an operational spare, fully insured, equipped, and road-ready, so routes keep running when a van is in for service, and on busy days all three run. Growth upside through more route density, opening Saturdays (currently closed by owner choice), and premium add-on services, all on existing infrastructure.

Financials: ~37% SDE margin on ~$583K 2-year average revenue, well above the 15-25% grooming industry norm. CPA-prepared and anchored to filed S-Corp tax returns (fiscal years 2024 and 2025). Labor costs run below grooming industry averages.

Client base is established across high-income LA neighborhoods. Most customers book every 4 to 8 weeks, producing predictable recurring revenue. Limited direct competition in the premium mobile segment.

Sale includes all three vans, all equipment, trained staff, client base, systems, supplier relationships, and owner transition support. All assets delivered free and clear at closing. No leases.

SBA-eligible with strong debt service coverage. A seller note may be considered for buyers bringing substantial cash at closing.

NDA and proof of funds required for full financials, unit economics, and buyer return analysis. Buyers should have roughly $100K in liquid funds and 700+ credit. Serious inquiries only.

Facilities & Assets
Three Wag'n Tails mobile grooming vans with all professional equipment, all included in the sale and delivered free and clear at closing. Two vans at near-full utilization, third van maintained as an operational spare and road-ready. No leases to assume; vans need only parking and storage. $200K in FF&E included in sale.
Market Outlook / Competition
Los Angeles has one of the largest and most concentrated pet-owning populations in the country, with sustained demand for at-home services in affluent neighborhoods. The mobile grooming segment sits at the intersection of two durable trends: rising pet-care spend per household, and consumer preference for convenience-first services. Within that segment, this business operates at the premium end, serving clients who rebook on a 4-8 week cadence and value the reduced-stress, in-home experience over cheaper storefront alternatives. That recurring client base is the primary competitive moat. New entrants can buy a van, but they cannot buy an established book of clients who have already switched from their prior groomer. Buyer return analysis and route-level economics are in the CIM under NDA.
Opportunities for Growth
Currently scheduled at 13 of 21 possible van-days per week (closed Saturdays by owner choice, third van maintained as an operational spare). A new owner can add route days on existing vans and equipment. Further upside through expanded service areas, increased route density, and premium add-on services.
