Location
Oxford Small Pet Boarding is based in a leafy and affluent suburb on the outskirts of Oxford city centre, a prosperous area with a strong community of pet owners. As the business is operated from the vendor's home and is fully relocatable, an incoming purchaser is free to run it from their own home anywhere they choose, making the current location a benefit rather than a constraint.
Premises & Tenure
The business operates entirely from the vendor's home and carries no obligation to any commercial premises. A secure outbuilding and outdoor space are currently used to house the full range of equipment, all of which will be transferred to the incoming purchaser. Pet sitting services, where applicable, are delivered at the customer's own home. The fully relocatable nature of the operation gives a new owner considerable flexibility from the outset.
