A mobile veterinary business could be in great demand in many areas. Most veterinary clinics are normally very busy and have limited hours. With a mobile business, clients are free to choose hours that are convenient for them. It also provides services to people who are homebound or handicapped. Learn to start a mobile veterinary business by following these steps.
Instructions
1. Write a business plan detailing your goals and plans with a detailed description of how you plan to run your business. Banks and lenders need to see a business plan before financing your business.
2. Find a lender that is able to help finance your business. Starting a mobile veterinary business is significantly cheaper than starting a veterinary clinic.
3. Buy equipment to operate your mobile veterinary business. You need veterinary instruments, medicine and a vehicle equipped to carry all of the items. An area in the vehicle to work with small animals and a few small cages could be helpful. A small enclosed trailer to haul these things is a good idea.
4. Choose a name for your business so you can obtain proper licenses and permits for your area to legally operate. The small business office in your local area has the guidelines and rules for your business to follow.
5. Advertise your mobile veterinary business since there is no clinic for clients to see. Have decals made for your business vehicle, put ads in the local papers, have radio commercials, put signs up around the town or city and send out fliers. Leave business cards on bulletin boards at grocery stores, feed stores and pet shops.
