Franchise Resale
Animals at Home support their franchisees at all stages, whether it be through the initial start-up phase, on-going operation and marketing and for those franchisees that decide to leave the business, in selling their franchises.
If you are looking to start an Animals at Home franchise, but would rather take over one that has existing clients and that has already made a name for itself in its area, then there are a very limited number of existing Animals at Home Franchises available for sale.
These are companies set up with existing clients and will continue to receive the ongoing full support from the Animals at Home Head Office.
As all these opportunities are different and at different prices we have the details and will gladly discuss each opportunity with you.
The following are examples of franchises for resale, however if you are interested in a different area, please contact us.
We have a very successful Animals at Home Franchise who has built her business within part of her licenced area and is now looking to sell on the licenced area that she is no longer able to concentrate on.
These areas do have some clients and would benefit from someone concentrating their efforts within this area and building the potential further.
BN1, BN2 & BN3 = Brighton & Hove, BN7 & BN8 = Lewes, BN9 = Newhaven, BN10 = Peacehaven, BN25 = Seaford.
All Resale Training and Franchise Package is available from Franchisor.

The franchise provides a good mix of services, including dog walking, cat care, small pet care, pet transport and pet cremation, ensuring a regular income stream throughout the year. Our motto is, ‘large or small, we care for them all!’
Begun from scratch in 2011, the franchise has grown steadily, and has a well-established, large and loyal clientele, as well as still attracting regular new business through referrals and on-line advertising, ensuring continuing growth opportunities. The business already has future bookings into 2020.
The current owners have built a business that benefits from an excellent reputation for caring, reliable and professional pet care with clients, local vets, pet charities, other pet service providers and social services in the area.
Relationships with vets across the area is excellent and provides regular referrals for pet taxi and other pet care services.
The franchise is geographically compact, allowing business to be obtained across the area, which consists of a diverse mix of urban and rural settings including Derby city outskirts, Burton on Trent, Swadlincote and surrounding towns and villages.
The sale includes a fully sign-written Renault Kangoo Animal Ambulance, fully serviced through a Renault service plan, and benefiting from a fitted dog cage, air-conditioning, integral Bluetooth and Tom Tom Sat Nav.

This is a life-style changing opportunity, providing the chance of financial independence, personal job satisfaction, a varied daily work regime, an outdoor life and a never-ending stream of lovable pets to brighten up each day!
As well as the excellent training and support provided by the Franchise head office team, full support from the existing husband and wife team is available to the new owners, including introductions to our regular clients, their lovable pets and local vets (also quite lovable!), as well as business working practices and administration.

Animals at Home Edinburgh and Lothians was established in March 2011 following redundancy. In ten years it has grown steadily into the thriving business it is today. By 2016 it was strong enough to support a full time employee.
The ethos has always been to give the best possible care to our animal clients and their human guardians. By following this principle the business has retained a strong and loyal client base.
The primary focus of the business has been holiday care – looking after a variety of animals in their own homes or home boarding with host families.
The majority of the business is in Edinburgh, however covering East Lothian and Mid Lothian gives the opportunity to look after a wider variety of animals.
The business has been kept at a turnover to suit the current owner but it is ready to move to the next level in the right hands.
2020 has given many people the time and space to consider the future. The current owner has reached retirement age with an elderly mother and other family commitments so the time is right to move on.
Full training and excellent continuous support is given by the franchisor, however ongoing support from the current owner is available.
This is a marvellous opportunity for someone to take over an existing strong business working with animals. You have the freedom to be your own boss but are also part of the Animals at Home family who are always there for you.

Animals At Home (Lincolnshire) Ltd is a thriving business based in and around the beautiful Wolds of Lincolnshire. We have been successfully expanding each year and are now in the 8th year of trading.
It has been a hard decision to make but it is now time for me to move forward and focus on pursuing my passion for helping dogs on behaviour issues.
The business has so much potential and I believe with renewed vigour and determination there is nothing that cannot be achieved.
The specialist Animal Ambulances are well recognised throughout the county and we work with several veterinary surgeries providing transport for their patients.
We survived the dreaded pandemic by way of our loyal client base and the monthly income figures have already returned to pre-Covid levels.
We would like to include one or both of the Ambulances, fully kitted out with ramp, first aid kits, cat boxes etc with the sale, as they are imperative to the continuation of the services provided to our clients.

I purchased the Animals at Home (Mid Devon and Exeter) Franchise 13 years ago. I have enjoyed every minute of running the business and over the early years we saw at £10000 per year increment on the previous year, and in 2019, pre-covid, we were running at just below the VAT level. Covid obviously knocked the business in 2020, however, Summer of 2021 has seen the business come back to pre-covid levels and we now have a diary for 2022 that is filling up fast.
I am now nearing 60, and have decided that it is time to let my business go to a younger person who will love it and will be be able to take it on to yet another stage of its life. I intend to carry on with my recently gained Canine Behavioural skills and I now also look forward to another period of my life.
The business will take a lot of hard work, but we have lots of amazing clients (and owners), all of which I know will fully support someone new, eager and keen to look after their beloved pets for them.
The business currently has 3 Animals Ambulances (2 of which will be negotiable with the business sale), and two brilliant and well respected dog walkers who have been with me for 4 to 5 years now. I also have several quality host families who are already set up and eager to continue their own side of the business.
