CONFIDENTIAL SALE - PLEASE DO NOT APPROACH THE BUSINESS, ITS STAFF OR ITS CLIENTS. Staff and clients have not been informed. The trading name, borough and accounts are released under NDA only.
THE OPPORTUNITY
A profitable, fast-growing outdoor dog daycare and dog walking business serving affluent inner South London residential areas. Established in January 2025 and built from nothing to an annualised run rate of approximately GBP 250,000 in under two years, with 78 active paying clients, the large majority booking on a recurring weekly basis.
Revenue has grown every month through 2026. June GBP 16,692, July GBP 19,593, August GBP 19,653, September GBP 19,057, October GBP 21,492. That is growth of close to 29 per cent in five months, achieved with no paid advertising spend in that period. Full management accounts are available under NDA.
NO PREMISES, NO KENNELS, NO CAGES
This is an outdoor-only daycare operation. Dogs are collected from the client's own home, taken to large local parks for supervised exercise in small groups, and returned home the same day. There is no kennel, no cattery and no leasehold property, which removes rent, rates and an entire category of licensing and property risk. Competitors in this market are almost all boarding-based and cannot make that claim. The business is fully relocatable within South London.
A FULLY BUILT TECHNOLOGY PLATFORM - THE REAL ASSET
Unlike effectively every competitor at this size, this business is not run from a spreadsheet and a mobile phone. It runs on a complete bespoke software platform, built specifically for it and owned outright, which would cost a buyer a very substantial sum and a great deal of time to replicate:
- A client-facing online booking portal. Clients book, amend and pay for themselves.
- A native mobile app, live and published on both the Apple App Store and Google Play.
- Live GPS tracking on every walk, with photographs sent to owners after each session.
- A staff app with digital run sheets, collection and drop-off confirmation and photo upload from the field.
- Fully automated invoicing and payment collection by Direct Debit, including automatic reminders, payment links and reconciliation.
- Automated client communications by email and WhatsApp, triggered by booking events.
- A complete finance and payroll engine that prices every booking automatically, builds each month's invoices, and calculates every walker's pay.
There are no licence fees payable to any third party. The platform transfers with the business and is capable of supporting several times the current client base with no further development.
WHAT IS INCLUDED IN THE SALE
- 78 active clients with established recurring booking history
- A team of 7 experienced self-employed walkers, all willing to remain after completion
