Why Hire a Broker to Sell Your Pet Business

Selling a pet care business—whether it’s a pet resort, dog daycare, kennel, or a boarding facility—is a major financial decision. From determining an accurate valuation to securing the right buyer, the process requires careful planning and expertise.

If you’re exploring how to sell a pet business or searching for pet business valuation services, working with an experienced kennel broker can help maximize your sale price while avoiding common pitfalls. Here’s why professional representation is essential.

We Provide an Accurate and Defensible Valuation

A successful sale starts with understanding your business’ true value. We analyze your financials to determine a defensible EBITDA, ensuring you receive full market value. Whether you’re looking to sell your pet resort or need a boarding kennel valuation, our expertise ensures your business is properly positioned.

We Connect You with Multiple Buyers to Drive Competition

Finding the right buyer isn’t just about receiving an offer—it’s about generating demand. We present your business to multiple buyers, including private equity firms and industry buyers, which increases competition and results in a higher sale price. If you’re looking to list your pet business for sale, our network ensures your business gets in front of all of the serious buyers.

We Manage the Entire Closing Process

Selling a dog daycare, boarding facility pet resort or kennel business involves extensive documentation, negotiations and due diligence. We oversee every detail to ensure all legal and financial requirements are met, helping you close the deal smoothly and efficiently. Instead of navigating complex contracts alone, you can focus on running your business while we handle the transaction with your attorney. This process also ensures that you don’t have ‘post closing’ issues or litigation.

We Address Any Surprises During Due Diligence

Unexpected challenges during due diligence can delay—or even jeopardize—a sale. With our experience in selling pet resorts, kennels and dog daycare businesses, we anticipate potential issues and resolve them before they become deal-breakers. From zoning issues to financial documentation, we make sure everything holds up under buyer scrutiny.

We Qualify Buyers and Protect Confidentiality

One of the biggest risks in selling a kennel business, dog daycare, pet resort or pet boarding facility is sharing sensitive information with unqualified buyers. We carefully vet all potential buyers to ensure they have the financial capacity and serious intent to proceed. This protects your confidentiality and ensures only the right buyers gain access to your business details.
