Throughout the life of your franchise, you’ll also be responsible for a number of recurring fees.

funding
your mobile pet
grooming franchise
Though Bark & Mane is proudly a low-cost franchise opportunity, we understand that many new business owners need additional help with financing. We’re happy to help you find the right path.
- Bark & Mane offers up to $80,000 of in-house financing to qualified candidates. Ask your franchise advisor for details.
- You can also use your 401(k) to support your mobile dog grooming franchise investment. Unlike other loans based on your retirement accounts, borrowing from your 401(k) means no taxes, no penalties, and no loan payments.
- Bark & Mane franchise owners have found success with guaranteed Small Business Administration (SBA) loans. SBA offers an accelerated loan process, programs with no collateral and/or low monthly payments, and special programs for veterans.

With their natural leadership skills and comfort with systems, veterans make terrific franchise owners. As a token of our gratitude, Bark & Mane offers a 15% discount off the initial franchise fee to qualified veterans. It’s our pleasure to make franchising more accessible to those who have honorably served our country.
