Hot Listing
Staff-Run Mobile Pet Grooming | $215K SDE | 3 Vans, 1 Idle | LA
Business Description
Debt-Free | Recurring Clientele | SBA-Eligible | Est. 2016
Premium mobile pet grooming business serving affluent neighborhoods across Los Angeles. No storefront, no lease. 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 occasionally grooms to cover overflow or preferred clients. 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 sits idle, fully insured, equipped, and road-ready. Deploying it represents built-in growth with no additional capital expenditure. Further upside through more route density, additional service days, 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 three years of filed S-Corp tax returns (2023-2025). 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. Everything owned outright. No debt, no liens, no leases.
SBA-eligible with strong debt service coverage. No seller financing offered.
NDA and proof of funds required for full financials, unit economics, and buyer return analysis. Serious inquiries only.

About the Business
- Years in Operation
- 10
- Employees
- 3 (2 Full-time, 1 Part-time)
Three experienced groomers currently operate the mobile units. - Facilities & Assets
- Three fully owned Wag'n Tails mobile grooming vans with all professional equipment. Two vans at near-full utilization, third van idle and road-ready. All assets owned outright, no liens, no leases. $180K 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
- Third van is idle, insured, and fully equipped. Deploying it is projected to increase revenue by 25-40% with no additional capital expenditure. Further upside through expanded service areas, increased route density, and premium add-on services, all on existing infrastructure.
