List
of Typical Purchases
(Edited: mid-2009. See
our free "Planners" in the
Buyer's Guide.)
If
you are not going to use the
professional startup cost
spreadsheet in
Grooming Business in a Box®,
here is a general startup costs
list. To help you plan startup
costs we are providing a list of
purchases common to most pet
grooming salon or shop startups.
However, it is probably not
complete for your project, but
certainly it will save you some
time.
The following
list does not include leasehold improvements such as
flooring, carpentry, plumbing, water heaters, electrical
work, building lighting, A/C and heating, landscaping,
outdoor signage and similar building upgrades. You need to
track those costs as well.
