Reason for Sale

An ideal opportunity for someone to take over and continue its success.
About the Business
KEY HIGHLIGHTS
- Potential to generate $3,000+ per week
- Established loyal client base included with strong capacity to grow and expand bookings
- Fully equipped walk-in walk-out mobile grooming trailer
- No rent, no lease, no premises overheads
- High demand with minimal competition in Cairns
This is a rare opportunity to acquire a fully established mobile dog grooming business with strong demand, loyal clientele, and immediate income from day one.
Operating as a fully mobile service, there is no commercial lease, no rent, and no fixed premises. The operator has full flexibility to choose service areas, structure their own schedule, and run the business on their terms. This significantly reduces overheads and eliminates one of the biggest financial risks associated with traditional salon-based grooming businesses.
The business carries a strong reputation with bookings typically secured 2 to 4 months in advance, ensuring consistent and reliable income for the new owner from day one. The current owner operates Monday to Friday at a relaxed pace of three to four grooms per day. An operator choosing to work at fuller capacity has the potential to generate $5,000 per week, equating to approximately $260,000 per year.
Demand for dog grooming in Cairns is exceptionally strong with minimal competition following six full-time groomers exiting the industry over the past two years. Combined with significant population growth, thousands of new homes under development, and increasing numbers of residents relocating from southern states, the long-term growth potential for the new owner is outstanding.
The sale includes a professionally fitted mobile grooming trailer, fully equipped with all tools, blades, scissors, and accessories required to operate immediately. The current owner is selling due to upcoming family travel plans and will assist with a smooth handover to ensure continuity for clients and the new owner.
