The Challenge
Positioning a dual-revenue pet business so buyers could clearly understand how the grooming and daycare sides worked together—and why the cash flow was reliable. Many buyers were excited by demand, but needed comfort around staffing, scheduling capacity, and the operating systems required to run a service business with two moving parts.
The Strategy
Position the business as a scalable pet-care platform (daycare + grooming), de-risk it with systems and documentation, present bankable financials, and run a tight buyer qualification process—so only capable operators move forward.
The Result
The structured marketing and qualification process created strong buyer competition and kept momentum through tours, Q&A, and diligence. The business received four offers, giving the seller meaningful optionality on price, terms, and certainty of close. With multiple bids on the table, we were able to select the best overall offer—balancing valuation with clean conditions, a realistic transition plan, and a high likelihood of closing.
Customer Testimonial
We had a great experience working with VBS and can’t recommend them enough. From start to finish, Michelle, Marco, and Brad were exceptional. They took the time to understand our situation, guided us through every step of the sale process, and were always available to answer questions or provide support.
Their professionalism, expertise, and dedication truly stood out. They worked hard to ensure everything went smoothly and were proactive in tackling challenges before they became issues. It was clear that they genuinely cared about helping us achieve the best possible result, and they delivered.
Selling a business can be stressful, but VBS made the entire experience organized, transparent, and even enjoyable. We are extremely grateful for their hard work, honesty, and commitment. Thanks to Michelle, Marco, and Brad for going above and beyond; we couldn’t be happier with the outcome.
