Insurance costs are part of the initial investment for a Zoomin Groomin franchise. The FDD estimates these costs to range from $2,000 to $3,000, payable to the insurance company before beginning operations. However, the document notes that these insurance costs can vary by state and change over time based on the franchisee's risk management skill.
Zoomin Groomin also recommends that franchisees purchase business interruption insurance and allows them to obtain insurance to cover any risk associated with their activity. All insurance policies must name Zoomin Groomin as an "additional insured" party. This requirement ensures that Zoomin Groomin is protected from potential liabilities arising from the franchisee's operations.
