Business Tools
Operations Manual
This is one of our “big value” items. This is the bread and butter of running your business successfully! We’ve developed and refined our Operations Manual over the course of the last three years and we have, paws down, the most comprehensive pet spa operations manual available. We will customize it for your business model and with your name and logo.
Project Planning
With our background in project planning, scheduling and both project and program management, we can work with you to develop a step by step project plan that takes you from inception to “doors open”. We’ll show you how to create it, use it and manage your plan – OR, we’ll do the project management for you.
Financial Models
We recommend that you implement a commercially available financial package to manage your business and to provide you with appropriate reporting and tracking functionality in order to have a financial map to accurately account for your past, present and future performance as a business. We do not construct a model for you –there is no need to reinvent the wheel - rather, we assist you with package selection and make recommendations for implementation. We can help you find preferred providers and experts on the financial package that you ultimately select.
Employee Handbook
This is the “stuff” most business owners hate, but unfortunately a business necessity for effective communication regarding policies and procedures. If you want to avoid the untimely and sometimes unfortunate meeting at the department of labor, make sure you have covered yourself with a great, comprehensive handbook! Our comprehensive Employee handbook has been developed and refined over the last 12 years of business expertise from current to past employment engagements. It’s exactly what you need, and we can customize it for you.
Professional Shopper Reports
If you are local, we can refer shoppers to you and design a shoppers report just for your business. Want to know how you do when you are not around? These reports say much about how your hire, how you train, and how effective a leader you are when you are not present.
Program Management
Have no idea where to start? Or do you need to keep “your day job” while your pet spa is being built out? Allow us to manage the process for you. We’ve been there, done that, got the t-shirt – don’t leave your new business to chance. We’ll manage the process and keep you entirely in the loop.
Business Plans
Let’s face it – some of us need to borrow money to start our businesses. And to borrow money, you need a business plan. We can work through every detail of the business plan with you and help you create your business models, pricing plans, profit estimates so that you can have the best chance of success at securing the financing you need, whether through a financial institution, an angel investor, or even friends and family. A professional business plan is an absolute necessity!
