Business Plan
I expect my business to grow with the town of Ardmore. I plan to eventually offer more services by qualified individuals such as veterinary services, quality trainers, and even small animal massage therapists. I plan on using various marketing strategies as well as keeping an active social media to promote the business. You should invest in me because I am a motivated self-starter with a love for service. I know this is a business I can cultivate and grow over the next few years and for the rest of my life. I have over 4 years of experience in behavioral therapy and a decade in animal care and enrichment. I have worked everywhere from zoos to ranches and I know I can make a difference by offering a luxury retreat and day service for humans' best friends.

Self Identified Competition
'Barktown' is my only competitor in Ardmore, Oklahoma, they have a very small outdoor area (my preferred location would be quadruple the size.) They have low-quality enrichment toys and little to no certifications. Their boarding facility is outdated and non-preferrable. 'Barktown' offers daycare, bathing, and overnight stay- whereas I want to provide all of the above plus some. There are no other boarding facilities, besides vet offices, in a 50-mile radius. I am better than my competitors because I love the animal industry. When you have a true passion for something it doesn't feel like work- and that's how I feel about animals and their care. I will provide services my competitors provide plus more luxury-type services such as overnight resort stay with supervision or certified massage therapy for pets, and even veterinary services on-site. I will also have a private luxury dog park where you pay to play, which would be the highlight of Okie's Critter Club. A private dog park (and cat house,) would draw lots of clientele, plus out-of-towners. My boarding experience will be better than any pet parent can imagine- with no stereotypical kennel feelings- this news would travel fast and I plan to compete with other boarding facilities for higher-class clients. You should grant my dream because unlike my competitors I have the passion, drive, and motivation to give pets the best quality service. I have over a decade of knowledge/expertise in care and behavioral training, as well as a bigger environment to work with. I know I have more ambition to create a truly extravagant experience for pets than my competitors.
