It should cover your service model (storefront, mobile, or home-based), grooming menu and pricing, target pet-owner market, equipment and build-out costs, appointment capacity per day, and financial projections built on repeat-visit frequency -- most dogs need grooming every 4-8 weeks.
A home-based setup can start for $10K-$25K, a storefront typically runs $30K-$100K, and a fully equipped mobile grooming van costs $50K-$120K+. Co-COO models your chosen format, including tubs, dryers, tables, and working capital.
Yes. Co-COO generates SBA-ready plans with the equipment costs, revenue projections, and market analysis that banks and vehicle financing lenders want to see.
Mobile grooming commands premium pricing (often 20-50% higher) and avoids rent, but you groom fewer dogs per day and carry vehicle costs. Storefronts scale better with multiple groomers. The questionnaire adapts to either model so you can compare daily revenue potential.
