Business for Bayview

I know a real easy way to get into prisons

Pm me haha

 

Bv, i just signed up. Have missed most of the recent stuff

Did you sell your ppor?
How is your workshop going?
I admire your guts in reinvesting your funds again.

 

Sold his house - keeping the workshop debt free and drawing a profit ... looking for another business to invest in ... hence this thread

 

Ahh i see. I remember his business was in severe negative equity. So selling his businesss cleared his loans and now he isnworking in it debt free?

 

Nope - sold the ppor house - kept the workshop ... paid off the workshop debt ... renting for a while ... looking forward to the future and new business options ... there is a thread on it somewhere called "Sold".

 

Saw a brilliant idea today ... what about a "doggy day care"? Apparently demand is increasing dramatically - but without all the hassles of kids and old fogeys (and associated government regs)

 

There is one of these in the City of Melbourne. It has been there for years and always full!!!

 

What on earth do people need a doggy day care for? Backyard not good enough? Gotta stick 'em in a kennel inside all day? Pffft.

 

For a lot of people their dogs are their "babies" ... and they work long hours ... so don't want their fluffy diddums to be confined to a small yard, all by themselves, for 12 hours a day.

It stops dogs from developing destructive behaviors from solitary confinement - socialises them just like kids in daycare - and because they don't often have human kids, the owners tend to have more play money.

Don't knock it ... just need to see the rise in gourmet dog food/biscuits and doggie cafes

 

Agreed!

I've got a lovely friend who is childless. Her four dogs are her 'children' and she'd do anything to keep them happy.

 

What? No. Backyard is not good enough. Dog need walks and smell new things everyday. I work full time, if I have the resources I will get him in day care on most weekdays so he's not lonely. Rigth now just twice a week.

I am not talking about kennel day care, I am talking about carer who let dogs inside his/ her home, walk them, play with them and care for them like I would.

 

Even half a dozen dogs at $30/day = $180/day ... minimal setup costs other than dog proof yard, some insurance, vetoing the dogs to make sure they're immunised and well behaved, toys, bowls, nap rugs, treats ... some referee-ing ... $900/wk income ... or a bigger yard divided into two - one for big dogs and one for small dogs ... 8 a day x $30 = $1,200.

Would need to check council regs

 

A doggie hotek newr us charge almost 40 per day and are often booked out

There is onky two ib the area/ region that im aware of

The property is like an acre block. I can imagine at least 50 to 100 dogs capacity

Seems like a thriving business

 

one in our area - www.newcastlepetresort.com.au ... charges $30/day - extra for pickup and delivery ... and the business must be doing well as has a fleet of vans

 

What kind of size property would one need to undertake this as a business opportunity? Would it be just city folk interested in this? We have recently moved to the Perth Hills and have a big block (2000sq) but I'm not sure if that would be big enough?

This is something I've thought about for a while and now having moved out of the city and into the hills maybe it's possible. I'm not thinking 20+ doggies a day but more so 8 max.

 

Pets are more important than people/humans even family these days to many people.
So why not take advantage of the situation and offer their poor little pooches a little care for a large fee.

 

No idea ... go see some, or email them if they're not in your area ... talk to council as there is probably some regs regarding this ...

the newcastlepetresort.com.au - if you google maps - is on around 5,000m2 but they also do boarding. Looking at one of the photos I counted at least 9 dogs but there are probably more.

They are moving to 26 acres - but if you click on the PDF file on the "news" page they even give you a layout of the property etc.

Note - I have no affiliation with this business - have never used them - but have heard their working model is a success.

 

Hi Piston - yeah no I agree totally with you, re: taking advantage of the opportunity. Praying on peoples' stupidity can often be lucrative. I just don't get why people do the things they do.

 

Here is how you can take control of your life and switch from employee to entrepreneur:

1. Identify Your True Calling

• Identify your passions
• Identify your skillsets
• Identify your values
• Look for the intersection of those 3

2. Surround yourself with people who are aligned with those passions and reverse engineer the process they followed.

3. Become more efficient at work so you can free up time to work on your passion project and build your business on the side.

 

My friends in London were telling me about private members clubs for families or more often, new mothers and babies.

There is so much money spent on pregnancy, birthing and babies in Australia, I'm sure this would be popular in the 'right' areas. I had my first baby in an inner suburb and most of the mums in my mothers group were mid-late 30s professionals who were doing evening privately, spare no expense.
