Top Competitive Advantages
The $136B U.S. Pet Industry has been deemed “recession proof” by virtually all of our nation’s most respected pundits. In fact, even during the Great Recession of 2008, the pet industry actually increased by almost 4%! Despite the current social and financial challenges being experienced nationwide, Scenthound continues to operate as an “essential service” with very little impact to our schedules… in fact, we have a waiting list at some of the scenters. This proves, conclusively, that people will willingly do whatever they need to do to keep their dogs happy and healthy even under the most trying of times.
Scenthound has virtually no competition in the marketplace… we are the only grooming franchise that focuses on wellness and operates under a membership model. This positions us as a “blue ocean strategy” where we are not clamouring for the same customers as everyone else.
Scenthound launched its franchising initiative in April 2019. As of Q1 2022, there were 157 total units in the system with 21 franchised and 6 corporate locations open and operating. As an emerging brand, we are not sold out in any market but Atlanta (some small pockets remain in Atlanta)… plenty of opportunity for multi-unit buyers in the suburbs of major metros nation-wide.
Important to note that while Scenthound is new to franchising, the founder has been a respected thought-leader and successful operator within the grooming industry since 2005. He continues to operate four successful corporate locations which have served as testing sites for what are now proprietary systems, processes, and best practices. This, along with a growing grooming and franchise-savvy corporate team is in place to support our growing franchise network.

It can take months, sometimes longer to sell a small business. Here are 6 questions plus other information from myself plus other BizBen Users to ask yourself to help you determine why your small to mid-sized California business isn't selling. You might be surprised what those reasons are!
Applying for a business acquisition loan can be challenging for someone who hasn't been through that process in the past. If one has a mortgage one knows that the value of the property being pledged has to at least equal the amount of the loan, SBA loans to buy a small business are very different.
Yes, there are ways to find businesses with growth potential that can be purchased with modest investments. But before offering any ideas about finding cheap businesses, it's important to review some of the risks involved. Peter Siegel (BizBen ProBuy Program) discusses this topic with others.
Business buyers many times ask in my ProBuy consulting sessions - how long should I ask for due-diligence when buying a small business? The answer really depends on several factors. They include: type of business, demand for the business, complexity of the business. Advisors weigh in on this topic.
The owner selling the business doesn't have recent financial information or documentation but insists revenues are increasing. Should buyers believe the seller? What should buyers do in this situation? ProIntermediaries on BizBen answer the question of verifying seller / owner's financial claims.
When considering buying a business that is losing money one has to be very careful. There are reasons that the business could be losing money that aren't fatal or extremely difficult to fix and there are other reasons that should send you running in the other direction. Peter Siegel, MBA explains.
Asking the seller straightforward questions and getting straightforward answers in return is an important part of the buying and due diligence process. In this Discussion, both ProIntermediaries and Advisors offer thorough questions you should be asking during your meeting with a business seller.
Valuing a small business is not guess work. It's not what some other businesses of the same type may have or may not have been sold for, it's not even what a business owner "feels" they want or deserve. It is a formula based on many factors. Peter Siegel, MBA from BizBen & others discuss this topic.
Business buyers, brokers, owner/sellers all ask this question at some point. So I decided to ask some of the top Intermediaries in the marketplace what they thought of the idea. Most of the ProIntermediaries on BizBen agreed with me on taking early possession before the close of escrow.
Just had a discussion with a owner/seller about non-disclosure agreements and confidentiality agreements when selling a business. Here was her question: "I am selling my business and I have heard I should have potential buyers sign a NDA. What items of information should I have on my NDA?"
Being prepared when potential buyers contact you about your business for sale is a good idea. Too many sellers (and brokers) are unprepared & miss good opportunities or get involved with unqualified buyers. This Discussion post and answers from ProIntermediaries on BizBen assist with this issue.
Can business buyers actually get full representation from a broker? With 70% of all California brokers not cooperating with each other it may be a good idea to have someone on your side representing your interests. Is buyer representation a reality? ProIntermediaries discuss this topic on BizBen.
Was just asked the question from a business owner what the "typical commission" amount is for a broker and if upfront fees are common? Thought this might be a great Discussion topic on BizBen for both business owner/sellers and potentially for business buyers (buyer representation).
When selling a small to mid-sized business, owners should have their paperwork and financial information ready to go! They should also have a short business plan of past history, current operations, and potential for the future. In this BizBen Discussion several advisors and intermediaries weigh in.
