Here is a franchise opportunity for you
The Mobile Dog Groomers business idea was started 5 years ago when Simon Robinson became dissatisfied with the way many franchises treat their license holders. It was thought that a much fairer system could be put into place where both Licensee and Licensor could be working together instead of working separately but under the same name. After a short time, it was realised that this was a larger project than had been first thought so his colleagues, Weronika (trainer), Jess (social media) Lucy (marketing) were invited to make up the other side of the team.
The Mobile Dog Groomers will fit out the van that you purchased with a state-of-the-art mobile grooming salon. All the equipment that you need to become a professional groomer will be in the van just waiting to be used. At present it costs around £8k to convert a van into a mobile grooming salon so with that kind of investment we feel it necessary to point out that the van needs to have low mileage and in good condition. Every franchisee must complete a full-time 16-day training programme.
This training is essential and begins with 15 days working in a Mobile Grooming Salon (MGS) with an experienced trainer. You will be kitted out in a branded uniform and learn everything from washing and grooming dogs to cutting nails and filling in the diary. You will be trained on a 1-2-1 basis and remember your trainer has put many other groomers through the training course, and everyone has passed with flying colours so have confidence that you will succeed.
Further training for one day will be required and focuses on areas such as business management, administration, marketing, pet first aid and the systems needed to run a successful The Mobile Dog Groomers business.
The pet first aid course provides pet owners, students and professionals with essential skills and knowledge to deal with emergency situations. You will learn ways to deal with injuries, help prevent illness, as well as preserve the life of pets. Essential topics covered include CPR, shock, bleeding, bandaging, poisoning, fractures and much more!
The Mobile Dog Groomers are now expanding and we have a variety of new franchise opportunities right now in several locations. If you want to join with us as we continue our expansion across the UK, we would like to hear from you.
So many people think of starting their own business – not just for the financial rewards but for the opportunity to be your own boss and run your own life. But the downside is that although you get all the rewards, you also take the risks. Taking on a franchise within a proven operation reduces those risks substantially. By joining The Mobile Dog Groomers, you can reduce them even more!
They have had years of experience grooming all breeds of dogs and now have made the step into franchising. Collective we are a team who work together to create a package that best suits you.
Owner and Van Conversations
I have been grooming and converting vans for over 13 years and we now believe we have the ultimate van conversation for those individuals who want to get involved with franchising. Total waterproofed, so cleaning and disinfecting becomes a breeze as on one wants a dirty smelly van.
Grooming Trainer
Hi, I am Weronika. Having initially started at Easton college doing animal management to go into veterinary surgeon, ending up in dog grooming is a big change. This is the best thing I could have ever done. This job comes with many challenges and taking on the Head trainer was a great decision as I meet some wonderful people all keen to learn a new skill.
Groomer and Social Media
Hi, I am Jess. Dog grooming has always been an ambition of mine, and when the opportunity to train with an experienced groomer came along, I jumped at the chance! After learning the ropes, I completed a professional grooming course and finally got on the road in my salon on wheels. I have always had in interest in marketing and social media so when the opportunity came up to use my skills, I grasped it with both hands and the rest is history.
