To scale the MSK9 dog training business, the owner sought to expand into complementary services. The strategy was to acquire an established dog grooming and pet store business, creating a broader offering for existing and new customers.
StandishCo partnered with the owner to execute this vision. The process began with reviewing available businesses on the market, assessing suitability, and selecting a preferred candidate. StandishCo then engaged with the broker and conducted a thorough evaluation of the business potential, including detailed financial analysis and cashflow forecasting. These insights informed negotiations and ultimately supported the successful purchase transaction.
Post-acquisition, StandishCo remained actively involved to ensure profitability and smooth integration. Our support included implementing sales and marketing strategies, refining operational processes, and providing CFO-level financial oversight. This hands-on approach helped the owner transition confidently into a multi-service business model.
Today, Carlisle Grooming Studio operates as a profitable extension of MSK9, delivering strong revenue growth and positioning the business for future expansion. This case highlights how strategic acquisition, backed by financial rigor and operational support, can accelerate scale and create lasting value.
