i mean da groomer owns a shop la.
imagine 1 full grooming rm70..
1 basic grooming rm30..
1 day jus need 2 do 5dogs,
4 basic 1 full..
ade rm 190.
rm 190 x 30 = rm5700..
This is assuming the groomer works 30 days a month (based on your assumption that the groomer does not need off days)
Also, it is highly impossible to groom 5 dogs a day if there is no helper/staff, unless you pull 14 hour days and based on your assumption that all the dogs that come for grooming are not matted and are in good condition.
Anyways, back to your calculation:
Cost of operations:
Rental of shop lot in medium location in KL - RM3,000 per mth (Bangsar is at least RM10 - 15k)
Electricity and Water - RM500 per month
Shampoo (based on 5 dogs a day) - RM100 per month
Total Basic Cost - RM3,600 per month
Total balance - RM2,100Start Up Capital (basic - there's more but I am too lazy to list out):
Clipper - RM600
Scissors set - RM1,000
Grooming Table - RM600
Normal Hairdryer - RM150
Water Heater - RM200
Shop Renovation (Basic)- RM20,000
Grooming Course - RM10,000
Total - RM32,550Assuming you get 5 dogs a day and you earn a net of RM2,100, you need to work 15.5months to cover your start up capital. In that 15.5 months, you will need to spend on clipper blades, new scissors, sharpening of scissors, new hairdryer, etc..
Like I said, there are a lot of other cost involved, but too lazy to list out. So, owning a grooming shop is not necessarily profitable.
