Key findings
- Price range for a medium dog is £40–70, with most salons at £45–58.
- Only one mobile competitor, and it does not work weekends and replies to bookings slowly. Three of its 12 most recent reviews mention waiting for a reply.
- Instant online booking is standard for salons; phone-only booking is now the exception.
- Weekend capacity is thin: only 2 of 10 competitors take bookings on Sundays.
Opportunities for Tidy Paws
- Position as "the salon that comes to you, including Saturdays", priced at £58–62, near the mobile competitor but with instant booking.
- Target owners of anxious or older dogs: 9 reviews across competitors mention stress from waiting rooms.
Honest limits
- Prices are list prices; discounts and size surcharges may differ in practice.
- Review counts reflect public listings on the dates checked, not total customers.
- No data on revenue or market share is publicly available for these businesses.
Client: Tidy Paws, a mobile dog-grooming van planning to launch in Ashford Vale (pop. ~85,000). Standard package: 10 competitors, 8 criteria. Excerpt below shows 6 of them.

About this service
Opening a cafe, gym or studio means buying dozens of items at once, and first-time owners often forget the unglamorous ones: a grease trap, rubber flooring, a second fridge, spare tools and the point-of-sale hardware. Tell us the business type, size, capacity and budget, and we build an itemised equipment list with quantities, new and used price options from suppliers in your country and what each item is for. You see the full opening budget for equipment before you sign a lease or a loan.
What is included
- What you getAn itemised list grouped by zone with quantities, unit and total prices, new and used options with links as of the order date, must-have vs later items and a total, as text you can copy or download as a file.

We will ask you:

- How big is the space, and what capacity do you plan?
- What is your equipment budget, and where are you opening?
- Are you open to used equipment?

Questions and answers
Do you check local regulations for my equipment?
We note common requirements, such as ventilation or handwash sinks, with links where we find them. Confirm them with your local authority before buying.
Is this a business plan?
No, it is the equipment part of your budget. A financial forecast can be ordered separately and use this list.
Can you include installation costs?
Where suppliers publish delivery or installation prices, we add them; otherwise we mark items that need it.
