Mobile Pet Grooming Business with Van - Boca Raton, FL

Start the new year with a new business of your own! Considering the condition of the present economic situation, this is a fabulous opportunity to start a business that keeps growing and start making money from day 1!!!

Owner started this successful and profitable mobile pet grooming business in the very exclusive area of Boca Raton, South Florida in 2005, and is now forced to sell because of back and neck injuries. Works part-time (15-20 hours/week) and averages $1,000/week with records to prove it. Imagine the income potential if you work full time! Great clientele; 95% dogs and 5% cats - all sweethearts!. 90% clients in Boca Raton and the remaining 10% in the neighboring cities (Delray, Deerfield, etc.).

Included is a "state of the art" truck with less than 40K miles.
