About this business
A doggy daycare centre with indoor play areas and fenced outdoor runs, offering full and half-day care plus grooming and dog walking. Its freehold building, on an Alnwick retail park, is part of the sale. There are 22 staff, and it has traded since 2016.
Turnover has grown each year, from £714k in 2021 to £850k, and adjusted EBITDA has risen from £75k to £91k. Margins are on the thin side because the care needs high staffing, so a buyer's main levers are pricing and occupancy.
Key investment highlights
- Freehold premises on a retail park
- Turnover up every year since 2021
- Team of 22 handlers and groomers
- Asking price of £335k
Reason for sale
The owners are retiring to the coast and want the centre to stay open.
