If you're going to sell one day, start here.
A practical guide to preparing your pet resort for a successful sale. Whether you're 1 or 3 years away, the time you invest in preparing your business is the highest-return work you can do.
What's Inside the Guide
The Decision Comes Before the Sale
Buyers pay a premium for clean financials, low owner-dependency, minimal legal risk, and a strong reputation - assets that only come from deliberate preparation.
Who Buys Pet Resorts and What They Want
PE backed firms, family offices, and independent operators all prioritize and structure deals differently. Knowing the buyer landscape ahead of time is your greatest leverage.
How Your Business Gets Valued
On a $400k EBITDA business, the difference between a 3.5x and 7x exit is $1.4M vs. $2.8M—driven entirely by your multiple and how you use add-backs to change the math.
What Moves Your Price
The factors buyers evaluate when pricing a business. Buyers pay a premium for clean EBITDA, stable teams, and strong reputations, and discount heavily for owner-dependency, messy financials, and weak leases.
The Unsolicited Offer: What to Know Before It Arrives
An unsolicited buyer offer just hit your inbox - now what? Learn how to handle unexpected outreach, why direct offers are never market-value, and how to spot buyer tactics disguised as urgency.
The 3-Phase Preparation Roadmap
An actionable, phase-by-phase exit roadmap: Foundation Building (18-36 months), Active Prep (9-18 months), and Final Prep (0-9 months). Discover the exact actions, business milestones, and transition triggers required at every stage.
