Where to Start

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.
