What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to Zoomin Groomin's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, several factors can influence the time it takes for a franchisee to open their business. The typical timeframe between signing the Franchise Agreement and opening the franchise is 3-4 months. However, this period can be affected by various factors.
These factors include the time required to secure financing, obtain the necessary vehicle for the mobile grooming service, comply with local zoning regulations, and acquire all required licenses and permits. Additionally, the time it takes to hire and adequately train staff, potential delays due to weather conditions, and the time needed to acquire and install all necessary inventory and equipment can also impact the opening timeline.
If a franchisee does not begin operations within thirty days of receiving their vehicle, they may be granted additional time, up to a maximum of twelve months. However, during this extension period, the franchisee will be responsible for minimum monthly royalty payments as detailed in Item 6 of the FDD. Therefore, prospective franchisees should carefully consider these potential delays and plan accordingly to minimize any financial impact from extended timelines.
