MyWaggyTails – caring for dogs by people you can trust

Sanity check

Is pet-care right for you?

Think pet first! Even on wet, cold days when you’re feeling less than 100%. Can you? Will you?

Is a franchise right for you?

A franchise business isn’t for everyone. Even with comprehensive support from the centre, you will need to decide whether your skills, capabilities and personal motivation are right for this business. A franchise business requires…

Strength: You must be able to devote time and effort to building a presence with your local community. People do business with people they like, respect and trust.

Commitment: You must be sure that your family is prepared for your commitment (they may even be able to offer support). Equally, you need to be confident you can financially support yourself and your family whilst you get the business up and running to retain that commitment.

Investment: You need the financial resources to initially make it work. And of course, this can be helped by a bank. We have various options available for you to consider, to help you make this happen if this business is right for you.

Is running your own business right for you?

It can be lonely at the top (and at the bottom)

Self-employment requires…

• Pro activity
• Passion
• Ambition
• Being in charge of your own destiny
• Organisation
• Committed to starting your own business and making it succeed.
• Healthy – this business calls for fitness.
