Franchising may be great for products or services consumers use nationally, but dog boarding and daycare tends to be used close to home. Ask your friends if they know the name of a national dog franchise; you’ll probably find brand awareness for dog boarding franchises to be very, very low.

Franchises are costly:

  • Initial franchise fees are usually about $40-50,000.
  • Monthly franchise fees can run over 7% of your gross sales!
  • 2% or more of this goes to “national marketing funds”.

Franchises can have strict limitations on your business:

  • Where you can locate your business - or expand your business.
  • How you market , advertise, and run your business.
  • How and when you can sell your business.

Negative publicity on the franchise and other franchisees can be negative publicity to you. So rather than following the cookie cutter franchise formula, Best In Show can provide you with the resources and knowledge to help you create a resort of your own creation.
