This company is a pet waste removal business. (It is very important for animal owners to keep their yard free from pet waste, which can contaminate ground water and create other health risks for humans.) Customers call and set up an appointment for their dog's waste to be picked up from their yards, either on a weekly or bi-weekly basis. This business serves the Trumbull, Mahoning, Mercer, and Lawrence counties. The owner is the only employee and she travels about 250 miles per week and only works about 20 hours. Not much equipment is needed. Selling price includes 60 regular customers and a database of about 280 customers.

Facilities: This business (scheduling, mapping, and bookkeeping) is run from home and can be moved anywhere.

Competition: Only service like this in the area.

Growth/Expansion: More advertising is needed. Offering a discount for new customers and incentives for customer referrals would also bring in many new clients. Income has increased steadily over the past 3 years.

Support/Training: Owner is willing to train.

Reason Selling: Illness in the family.
