What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to Zoomin Groomin's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, the insurance costs for franchisees vary by state and can change over time based on their risk management skills. Zoomin Groomin franchisees are required to carry policies covering commercial general liability, auto, and workers compensation.
The specific amount of the insurance fee is not set by Zoomin Groomin but is instead determined by third-party insurance providers. The cost will depend on factors such as the franchisee's location and their ability to manage risks effectively. This means that franchisees in states with higher insurance rates or those with poor risk management may face higher insurance costs.
Prospective Zoomin Groomin franchisees should obtain quotes from multiple insurance providers to understand the potential range of these costs in their specific state. They should also inquire about risk management practices that can help lower their insurance premiums over time. Since these fees are paid to third parties, they are subject to change and are outside of Zoomin Groomin's direct control.
