We will charge you an initial fee of $45,000 (the “Initial Franchise Fee”) when you sign the Franchise Agreement. You may operate one or more Zoomin Groomin mobile pet grooming vans (each a “Vehicle” or “Outlet”) within your Territory.

You must submit the Initial Franchise Fee to us before attending Initial Training, usually when the Franchise Agreement is signed. We will refund the Initial Franchise Fee paid by you if we do not approve your application or if you do not pass our Initial Training in accordance with our then-current passing standards for training provided that you return to us all materials which we distributed to you during the training.

We do not finance the Initial Franchise Fee.

We offer a 10% discount to all qualified veterans and first responders who purchase a Territory. We offer a $5,000 discount for existing franchisees who purchase a second or subsequent Territory. We may offer limited incentive programs as part of our franchise development efforts. We reserve the right to offer, modify, or withdraw any such incentive program without notice to you.

Note 1: Royalty Fee. Your obligation to pay the Royalty Fee will commence immediately upon execution of a Franchise Agreement. This fee is subject to the Minimum Weekly Royalty Fee beginning the thirteenth week immediately following the earlier of (a) the day you complete Initial Training or (b) the day you begin operations, whichever occurs first.

The Royalty Fee is calculated based upon Gross Revenues. “Gross Revenues” means the total of all receipts whether cash, credit, checks, bitcoin, or other means of exchange net of any tax, adjustments, credits and allowances actually made in accordance with the Operations Manual. Even though we reserve the right to access your computer system to download sales information, you must provide us with the required Gross Revenue report by 5:00 p.m. every Tuesday for the prior week’s activity. The end of each week for Royalty collection purposes is Saturday at midnight.

The Royalty Fees are paid by Electronic Funds Transfer. If you change your bank account or transfer your account to a different bank, you must notify us within one day, and sign and deliver to us and the bank new documents to permit us to debit your bank account within three days. We require you to execute an Automatic Bank Draft Authorization and pay most fees to us via ACH electronic funds transfer. See Schedule 2 to the Franchise Agreement.

Note 2: Technology Fee. Pricing for the Technology Fee is set by us and is not calculated based on the precise price of any specific service; however, it is intended to reimburse is for expenses we reasonably incur in providing each franchisee with an e-mail address and phone number for their Franchised Business, and our expenses incurred in creating and maintaining certain web-based systems that serve as a resource for our franchises. We will use commercially reasonable judgment in setting this price. We reserve the right to increase this fee as reasonably required by us as technology advances and the cost of providing this technology increases up to a maximum Technology Fee of $30 per week. This Technology Fee is in addition to our CRM Fee.

Note 3: CRM Fee. You are required to utilize a customer relationship management (“CRM”) system with scheduling functionality in the operation of your Franchised Business. Scheduling appointments is an essential part of your business. You will utilize an approved CRM vendor and if you do not pay their fee when due, we have the right to pay the fee on your behalf and collect the same from you. We also reserve the right to enter into an agreement directly with the current CRM vendor, or any other CRM vendor offering a substantially similar product, whereby we pay a negotiated fee directly to them and collect the same from you.

Note 4: Insurance. You will be required to carry policies covering commercial general liability, auto, and workers’ compensation. These insurance costs vary by state and can change over time based on your risk management skill.

Note 5: Additional Assistance. Additional assistance may be obtained from us via phone, video conference, and webinar. There is no charge for remote assistance. However, if additional assistance is requested onsite, then you will pay per diem travel costs to include any necessary transportation, lodging, and meals.

Note 6: Transfer. In the event of a transfer and for the protection of both buyer and seller, Zoomin Groomin USA LLC will serve as the settlement agent on transfers of ownership. However, no Transfer Fee is required if you transfer your Outlet to an entity in which you are the majority owner, or if you transfer the Outlet to your child, parent, sibling, or spouse. In addition, prior to transfer, all outstanding amounts due to ZOOMIN GROOMIN® must be paid.

BUSINESS MODEL

The following tables present historic gross revenue figures for the remaining 11 Zoomin Groomin® Vehicles, which operated for the entire year from January 1, 2023, through December 31, 2023. Data is presented by quartile and then cumulatively.

GROSS REVENUES FOR FRANCHISEES PER VEHICLE

The preceding data was extracted from reports submitted to us by our franchisees as Gross Revenues. Some franchisees own and operate more than one Vehicle. “Gross Revenues” means the total of all income arising from operation of a Vehicle net of any tax, adjustment, credit or refund.

Written substantiation of this financial performance representation will be made available to you upon reasonable request.

Some outlets have earned this amount. Your individual results may differ. There is no assurance that you’ll earn as much.

OBLIGATION TO PARTICIPATE IN THE ACTUAL OPERATION OF THE FRANCHISED BUSINESS

You or a fully trained and qualified manager must personally supervise and participate in the day to-day operation of your Franchised Business unless we permit otherwise in writing. You must devote your time, attention and diligent efforts to performing the obligations under the Franchise Agreement.

While you may designate a Business Manager to fulfill your obligations of day-to-day management, though you are still responsible. You must inform us in writing of the identity of your Business Manager, furnish information to us regarding the candidate’s background, experience and credentials, and secure our advance written approval before you engage him or her. We will not unreasonably withhold or deny our approval.

Your Business Manager must have complete decision-making authority with regard to your Franchised Business and must have authority to act on your behalf in all respects under the Franchise Agreement. Your Business Manager must successfully complete the Initial Training program, and complete ongoing advance training requirements. Your Business Manager is not required to have an equity interest in the Franchised Business.

All owners of the Franchised Business must guarantee the obligations under the Franchise Agreement. However, your spouse is not required to guarantee your performance under the franchise agreement or franchisor’s practice. This means your spouse is not bound by their own personal guaranty, duty of confidentiality or duty not to compete; however, that does not mean you can circumvent your obligations by sharing our know-how with your spouse (or any family member) nor assist them in competing with us.

Franchisees and Business Managers are subject to a covenant not to compete along with confidentiality requirements.

RESTRICTIONS ON WHAT THE FRANCHISEE MAY SELL

You must offer and sell only the goods and services that we approve, and you must sell all the goods and services that we authorize. We have the right to change the types of authorized goods and services with reasonable notice, but we do not intend to materially change the nature of the authorized goods and services. You are not limited to whom you may sell your products and services, provided you do so exclusively from within your Territory and to/on behalf of customers that are located within your Territory and in compliance with the standards we have determined for the System. We may make recommendations but do not impose minimum or maximum pricing of goods or services, staffing requirements, or minimum or specific hours of operation.

Workspace size

Zoomin Groomin® is a mobile pet grooming business and each Zoomin Groomin® Vehicle is an Outlet. There were 70 Zoomin Groomin® Vehicles in operation as of December 31, 2023, all of which franchisees owned. We excluded 55 of them from these financial performance representations because they began operations after January 1, 2023. We excluded 4 additional Outlets because they were transferred to new owners in 2023.

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION ABOUT THE FRANCHISE

• Note 1: Initial Advertising. This amount includes a suggested budget for local advertising and promotion of your Franchised Business for the first three months of operation.
• Note 2: Cost of Travel, Food and Lodging for Training. You must pay for the travel, lodging, meals, and wages of attendees at Initial Training if not offered via videoconference. Your costs will vary.
• Note 3: Vehicle. Your Franchised Business will be operated out of a Vehicle. You must purchase or lease at least one (1) Vehicle that meets our specifications and is suitable for operation of a Zoomin Groomin mobile pet grooming business. Typically, our franchisees purchase a Ram ProMaster 3500 with a high roof and extended wheelbase or a Ford Transit Cargo Van with a high roof and extended wheelbase.

Each Vehicle must be upfitted to our specifications before you can begin operation of a Zoomin Groomin mobile pet grooming business. Upfitting includes an extensive interior modification to equip the Vehicle with certain pet grooming equipment and a Zoomin Groomin vinyl wrap. You must use a professional vendor approved by us for the upfitting. As of the March 28, 2024, we have approved several vendors offering various interior upfitting layouts. Your price will vary based on layout, options, and vendor choice. You will also need to arrange transport between dealers, vendors, and yourself. An estimate for the cost of transportation fees are included in the high end of this total.

If you lease the Vehicle, we estimate the down payment will be at least 10% of the total Vehicle purchase price (van, upfitting, and transport) but will vary based on your credit worthiness. We have included the costs of upfitting and transport in the vehicle lease estimate because existing franchisees of ours have reported that they have financed these costs into their vehicle lease.

The low-end is based on leasing a Vehicle at MSRP with the features we require and choosing the most economical upfitting package that is approved by us. The high-end is based on purchasing a new Vehicle for full MSRP with the features we require and the highest priced upfitting package we have approved. These fees are as of March 28, 2024. We may also permit you to purchase a used low-mileage vehicle in good condition, which approval will not be unreasonably withheld. The price you pay may depend on market conditions. Further, taxes and delivery fees are not included with this total and will vary depending on your location. We make no guarantee regarding the availability of a suitable vehicle, financing, nor do we finance any portion of the vehicle expense.

• Note 4: Tools, Inventory, and Supplies. You must purchase an initial inventory of pet grooming supplies, basic office supplies, and other operating supplies that meet our standards.
• Note 5: Computer Equipment Services and Software. You must comply with our computer hardware, software, and network services specifications which we set forth in detail in our Manual.
• Note 6: Licenses and Permits. States and localities will set permits and license requirements, if any. You must comply with any such requirements that are established for your Territory.
• Note 7: Insurance. You will be required to carry policies covering commercial general liability, auto, and workers compensation. These insurance costs vary by state and can change over time based on your risk management skill.
• Note 8: Professional Fees. You may incur professional fees like legal and accounting expenses to assist with this franchise purchase, your entity set up, licensing, and other legal and accounting issues.
• Note 9: Mobile Telecommunications Service. This estimate includes the security deposits and service fees for your mobile telecommunications and mobile internet system. If you have an existing mobile line with cellular or other mobile internet service that you will use for your Franchised Business, you will not incur these costs.
• Note 10: Facility. You can operate the Franchised Business out of your home. However, if you need additional space for parking the vehicle or storage of supplies, then you may need to obtain lease space; typically, 100 square feet. Likewise, you will need a suitable location to dispose of greywater and may incur costs for such disposal.
• Note 11: Additional Funds - 3 Months. The estimate of additional funds for the initial phase of your Franchised Business is based on your staff wages, salaries and benefits, and operating expenses for the first three months of operation. The estimate of additional funds does not include an owner’s salary or draw and it is expected that you will manage and promote the Franchised Business. Pet groomers (your “staff”) are typically paid a percentage of each groom (a “commission”) plus tips, and we do not recommend that you hire any staff while your Vehicle is not in operation. Your costs will depend on factors such as how closely you follow our recommended systems, as well as on your technical, marketing and general business skills, local economic conditions, the local market for your business, competition, local cost factors, location and the sales levels achieved by you. We base this estimate upon the years of experience our management team has in the industry.
