These figures are estimates and are subject to the assumptions, terms, and disclosures in the current Franchise Disclosure Document (FDD). Review the current FDD for complete details before making any investment decision.

Kontota reviews each market individually. Territory size, ZIP codes, market boundaries, demographics, and availability are evaluated and approved for the specific opportunity. Because these factors are individualized, candidates should discuss the market they are considering during the discovery process rather than rely on a general state or availability list.

The current FDD contains the applicable terms and disclosures for the opportunity under consideration.

Kontota provides owner operations and leadership training, groomer training at Kontota headquarters, and guidance on van operations, customer service, scheduling, safety, pricing, marketing, and business management. Franchisees receive operational procedures, training resources, technology platforms, and support from the team, plus ongoing franchise support and regularly scheduled franchise-partner calls.

See Franchise Support for more information.

No professional grooming experience is required. Franchise owners can hire trained grooming professionals and focus on leading and developing the business. Owners remain responsible for operating and developing their business, including building a team and following the system. The minimum recommended net worth is $250,000, and qualified candidates should review fit, resources, and responsibilities during discovery.

A franchise owner runs and develops the business rather than needing to perform every grooming service personally. Responsibilities can include planning the market, hiring and managing trained groomers, overseeing scheduling and customer service, monitoring safety and operations, and executing the business plan. Kontota can support training and systems, but the owner remains responsible for operating and developing the business.

The launch plan includes van operations training and other readiness steps before serving customers. Kontota provides guidance on van operations, operating procedures, technology platforms, and the training resources needed to prepare for ownership. Kontota describes a roughly 90-day launch timeline, although timing depends on preparation and the specific opportunity.

Start with a book-a-call consultation to discuss your goals and the opportunity. There is no pressure or obligation to move forward.

Candidates should review the current FDD before making an investment decision. FDD Item 19 is the place to review any financial performance representation included in the current FDD. This FAQ does not provide Item 19 results or earnings promises.

Financing may be available for qualified candidates. Funding decisions and terms depend on the candidate and lender. The current FDD contains the complete investment assumptions and disclosures, so review it carefully and discuss financing questions during a no-pressure consultation.
