Scalable Dog Walking Business For Sale

Location Undisclosed, Buckinghamshire, UK
Asking Price:
£69,950
Turnover:
£77,371
Net Profit:
£20,000

Overview

This is a rare opportunity to acquire a long-established, fully managed pet services business that has been built over fourteen years into a structured, systemised and income-producing operation. The business does not require the owner to undertake any field-based work, with the current owner's role being entirely managerial and administrative in nature. Service delivery is carried out by an established team of self-employed contractors operating under structured agreements that protect goodwill and ensure all client relationships remain with the company.

The business operates under a centralised model in which clients contract directly with the limited company, with scheduling, invoicing and payment management all controlled centrally. Income is recurring and schedule-based, clients pay in advance on stable monthly billing cycles, and the business currently has unmet demand exceeding its present capacity. This creates a compelling and transferable proposition for a wide range of buyers, from lifestyle purchasers and semi-passive income seekers to existing pet service operators looking to expand their territory.

Business Highlights

  • Annual turnover of approximately £77,000, generated without the owner undertaking any physical service delivery
  • Fully managed structure with three established selfemployed contractors in place and capacity to recruit further
  • Recurring weekly revenue with strong income visibility and clients billed in advance on monthly cycles
  • Proven waiting list demand, meaning growth is supported by real existing enquiries rather than theoretical opportunity
  • Low overhead base with no commercial premises costs, making the model marginefficient and low risk
  • Fourteen years of trading with a loyal client base, strong local reputation and consistent organic inbound enquiries
  • Clear expansion pathways including additional contractor recruitment, home boarding and pet sitting services

Location

The business operates across a large and expanding Buckinghamshire town with a strong residential population, high levels of dual-income households and excellent commuter connectivity to London. This demographic profile is particularly well suited to professional weekday pet care services, and the business has established long-term client relationships across multiple residential areas, reducing reliance on any single neighbourhood or postcode. The precise location is disclosed on receipt of a signed NDA.

Premises & Tenure

The business is home-based and operates as a limited company incorporated in 2012, with no commercial premises costs associated with the operation. This significantly reduces overhead exposure and risk, and the administration model is both flexible and scalable without any requirement for physical premises investment.

Next Steps

Goodwins Business Brokers are inviting enquiries from suitably motivated buyers. This is a confidential listing and the Information Memorandum is released on completion of a short NDA. To register your interest and receive further details, please contact the Goodwins team directly. Full details are available in the Information Memorandum.
