K9Mums – Alternative to Kennels

A warm welcome to you! No doubt you love dogs and would like to get involved in the Petcare industry? (It happens to be the 7th fastest growing industry in the United States and the rest of the world is following at a rapid rate.)

Okay, so what is a ‘Mumchise’? A ‘Mumchise’ is something that offers you most of what a Franchise would but with two main differences:

1. Your investment is a 1/5th (if not less) of what you would pay for a Franchise.
2. We ask no monthly fees/royalties etc. as Franchises do.

Business Overview

Own your very own home based business AND 20% of the purchase price will be donated to an animal shelter/organisation of your choice, for spaying & neutering services.   (See K9Mums’Achievements)

As a Mumchise Owner you will receive in-depth, thorough training in all aspects of operating your business. We will provide you with a Training/Operations Manual that covers such topics as administrative issues, operational aspects, pet safety, client relations, sales, marketing, human resources and staffing concerns.

If you have a passion for pets, as well as an understanding and respect for the relationship between a pet and their pet parent, and are looking for a fun and exciting, growth oriented business opportunity, K9 Mums could be the right choice for you.

We will show you how to:

1. Recruit, interview, train and effortlessly manage your business.
2. Effectively market to local homeowners and communities.
3. And best of all: develop a growing, secure residual income.
4. Control your administrative & financial tasks.

K9 Mums is not a franchise. It does however offer many of the benefits a franchise operation would, yet at a fraction of the cost. You get almost everything a franchisee would get, yet you pay no royalties. PLUS this business is a REPEAT BUSINESS. Clients come back again and again and again, year after year after year.

When is the best time to start my business?

There are many different kinds of pet care businesses available, and there has never been a better time to join the Pet Care Industry than right now.  Pet popularity is at an all-time high.

Can I give up my full time job?

That would be entirely your decision.  It is what you put into your business that will determine the success of it. Start off by doing this part-time and when the business has grown to a point where it exceeds your current monthly income then you will be in a position to decide whether or not you want to quit your full day job.

Can I start with little or no money?

Your main overheads are telephone and advertising expenses. Advertising can be done relativity cheaply via flyers. Telephone costs can be kept to a minimum if you take each call that comes in as opposed to returning calls later as well as asking each client for their email addresses so that you can correspond that way rather than telephonically. Each area and situation is different and we cannot say how much you will need initially to get moving but what we can say is that it is not as much as you might think. Work wisely and you can save lots of money.

Can I talk to a live person?

Always. You can all us on 27 84 512 6522 or, to save costs, correspond via email. Replies guaranteed within 24 hours. We promise NO AUTOMATED EMAILS.
