Cost of investment:
The major elements involved in setting up a Shih Tzu Groom Shop
are:
1. Rent and security deposits. 2. Renovation 3. Tools and
equipment 4. Furniture and fixtures 5. Legal fees 6. Insurance
7. Advertising 8. Supplies 9. Cash reserve
The cost will depend upon your location and the materials you
start out with. You can estimate at least $10,000 to start your
Speciality Shih Tzu Grooming Shop.
Rent: Will vary according to the specific location. Rent in a
major metropolitan center will be greater than in a rural area.
A landlord will usually demand a security deposit in advance or
with your first month's rent. In addition, there will likely be
deposits required for utilities.
Renovation: Is dependent upon the Shih Tzu Groom shop's
condition and your desire to alter or design the shop.
Tools and equipment: A basic assortment of clippers, blades,
scissors, shampoos, brushes, combs, cosmetics for your Shih Tzu
Groom Shop will cost at a minimum of $400. Heavy equipment such
as dryers, cages and tables fitted with groom loops will cost at
a minimum of $2,000.
Legal fees: If you choose a lawyer to negotiate a lease on the
most favorable terms for your Shih Tzu Groom Shop, his or her
services can cost more than $300.00. The investment may be well
worth it, however, if you are unable to negotiate a favorable
lease term yourself.
Insurance: Is a must have item.
Advertising: Before opening the doors to your Shih Tzu Groom
Shop, you will want to advertise and promote the shop as quickly
as possible. Ways of advertising could be through the Yellow
Pages, newspapers, direct mail and flyers, at vet offices, pet
supply warehouses and the internet. One page websites on the
internet describing your business with e-mail and telephone
numbers would be quite helpful. You would need to market and
promote your website as well.
Supplies: Pet supplies such as designer pet clothing, shampoos,
crème rinses, toys and treats, even a pet food distributorship
such as HealthyPetNet Life's Abundance could become quite
prosperous in a busy Shih Tzu Grooming Shop. The possibilities
for retailing pet supplies in a Shih Tzu Grooming Shop are
endless.
Reserve cash: You will of course need to start out with a fair
amount of reserve cash in your Shih Tzu Grooming Shop.
