Starting a doggie daycare
If anyone knows anything about the paperwork (taxes, zoning, etc) I'll need to start up, that would be awesome. Or if you have any useful links. I've found plenty of info on daycare itself, just not the administrative, government involved side. |

| I have a friend that owns a petsitting business, i know it took her about a year to get started and i can ask if she can give you any advice or help. |
| You'd better talk to animal control and see if there are restrictions there. I always cringe when talking to the folks here as one hand never knows what the other is doing, so it's best to get names of those you have spoken to as well as time and dates. They will probably want to "inspect" your area, so we up and ready to go with waste disposal stations, sanitation stuff, first aid stations, perhaps even kennel and crate areas for dogs who need "timeout." Know how many dogs you can handle.......and don't exceed it. Run the program well so you don't offend Animal Control or the "pet police."
Zoning is another place to go to see if there's any ban against what you are doing. As far as taxes, probably because it is a business. We don't have sales taxes, we have gross receipt which means they also tax services......maybe your state doesn't have its head buried somewhere.... As a result, we need to have state gross receipt number. Finally, insurance. You'll need to cover your tail here. Talk to an insurance carrier to get well covered. I don't know if an umbrella policy will cover this or if you need a whole new plan. Nor do I know if you need to be bonded..................all things to talk about with someone knowledgeable in business insurance. |
