We've worked as
consultants helping pet groomers
to expand with a school of
grooming and maintain their pet
grooming operation; like two
divisions of the same parent
company. In our opinion you need
to reach a stead demand of
grooming services before you
expand to ensure that you have a
consistent supply of dogs (and
cats if applicable). Students
may have to share dogs
sometimes, but they shouldn't
have to share dogs consistently.
At the low end you might need at
least 12 dogs a day for a small
school and typically about twice
that amount. It shouldn't be
difficult to obtain that demand
in most areas. We have never
seen a business that could not
reach that level except in the
most rural, unpopulated regions
by using the People and Pet
Marketing Program in the book,
From Problems to Profits.
Do
you need the help of a
consultant? First, there are
extremely few consultants to
help you with the task, and no,
we no longer provide such
services ourselves. We will
present leads here for you. The
amount of work it will take can
be moderate to substantial. We
assisted a salon to add a school
in California, and it took about
9 months as consultants. In the
end there were over 600 pages of
paperwork, and we even had to
take courses offered by the
State of California to learn how
to complete the application. Now
did the owner really need to
hire us as consultants to help.
Well, the owner is grooming and
managing full-time, where would
he or she get the free time to
do what took us 9 months? There
was no question that it would
have taken months more, and
probably not have ever gotten
done without either a consultant
or a business partner. Keep in
mind that we have assisted
others outside California and
the paperwork took about 3
months, not 9 as in California.
Consultants with a proven track
record and intellectual
properties in grooming can be
just what you need, especially
if you groom and manage most of
the time. You should be able to
open your school much earlier,
and perhaps writing hundreds of
pages of curriculums, tests,
files and other documentation is
not in present skills, but you
know how to groom and how to
teach and you have the passion
for a school. Well then
investing in the right
consultant is a strong
consideration for you.

Paperwork and audit trails are
very important. You need systems
to keep detailed attendance and
tardiness records, file and
archive letters and memos issued
to students, record test
results, personal notes on the
progress of each students and
much more. As in all other
businesses if there is a
dispute, the files are looked
upon very carefully to resolve
disputes. An effective
consultant will help you to
setup these systems such that
you only have to maintain them.
You need to prepare financial
projections and budgets for the
school too, and again, a
consultant can help you to do
this as part of their contract.
We
strongly recommend that you find
assistance from family members
with business acumen, perhaps a
business partner or an excellent
consultant to assist you. That's
where you start, and before you
make any decision based simply
on what you are reading here,
call your state government. Ask
for the name of their agency or
bureau that state licenses
vocational schools of education,
and once you locate them request
a "new vocational school"
package from them to see just
how much is involved in your
state. Please note that nearly
all schools do license private
postsecondary schools, but there
are a few that don't. Don't
become overwhelmed if there are
many requirements. Complete each
project one step a time, like
going up one rung on the ladder
at a time. Eventually you reach
the top. Take the time to do
your research and plan
carefully; you never rush in
opening a school. You are
affecting the careers of
potentially many people
including their working incomes,
so it's an important task not to
take lightly yet it is also a
joy to help people reach their
dreams. Just get the help you
need and plan carefully.
